What San Francisco does
to a wine cellar cooling unit.

Where wine cellar cooling units sit in San Francisco: closet and stair cellars, older housing stock, designed wine rooms.

All of San Francisco Bay Area

Closet and stair cellars

A closet cellar leaves little space on the unit's exhaust side, and a through-the-wall unit that blows into a hallway or a bedroom closet has nowhere to shed its heat, so a louvered door or a short duct often does more than a new part.

Older housing stock

Preservation rules and thick old walls make a new vent to the outside hard to get in an older house, so its cellar often exhausts into a basement room or uses a split system with a discreet line set, and the repair works within that path.

Designed wine rooms

A designed wine room with glass walls and a glass door is striking and hard to cool, and single-pane glass, display lighting and a door without a full seal can double the room's heat load, so the check starts with the room itself.

Marina

Flats and small buildings where the cellar is a closet-sized room on the garage level, the seismic worry is the racks and the unit's wall sleeve, and salt air off the bay reaches any condenser set beside the garage door.

Noe Valley

Row houses where a family digs out the space under the house in a remodel and adds a small cellar there, often cooled by a through-the-wall unit venting into the garage, which on the sunny side of the valley warms more than owners expect.

Pacific Heights

Victorian and Edwardian houses on the ridge where a cellar was fitted into the old garage level or a basement room that stays cool from the ground around it, with a through-the-wall unit venting into a storage room and the racks bolted to studs against earthquakes.

Presidio Heights

Presidio Heights is a small, well-to-do residential district wedged between the Presidio parklands and Laurel Heights.

Russian Hill

Russian Hill counts among the original Seven Hills of San Francisco, one of the city's 44 named hills.

Sea Cliff

Spanish settlers knew this ground as Coyote Gulch, the name of the creek that still runs from Mountain Lake in the Presidio down to Baker Beach.
