## What Cook County does to a wine cellar cooling unit.

Where wine cellar cooling units sit in Cook County: older housing stock, designed wine rooms, mixed housing.

[All of Chicago](https://winecellarrepair.center/locations/chicagoland/)

### Older housing stock

Older houses with stone or brick basements make natural cellars that stay cool, but old masonry wicks moisture from the ground, so a cooling unit there often battles damp and mold more than heat, and the room's vapor barrier is checked first.

### Designed wine rooms

A showpiece wine room built with fine wood racks and stone needs its humidity held between about 50 and 70 percent to keep wood and corks sound, so the repair checks the humidity control as closely as the temperature.

### Mixed housing

On a street of old and new houses, cellars run from a basement room cooled by a unit twenty years old to a new glass room with a split system, and the first step is learning which refrigerant the older unit uses, since some older gases are no longer made.

### Glencoe

Glencoe is a lakefront village 21 miles north of downtown Chicago, on the west shore of Lake Michigan.

### Gold Coast

Towers and old mansions near the lake, where a wine room in a high-floor condo needs a building-approved place for its heat and a mansion's stone basement cellar needs only modest cooling for most of the year.

### Lakeview

Two-flats and condos where a wine closet in a basement unit or storage room shares walls with a laundry and a furnace, whose heat and dust reach the cellar unit's exhaust side.

### Lincoln Park

Greystones and frame houses with basements where cellars are common, and humid lake summers and dry furnace winters push the cellar's moisture first one way and then the other over a year.

### Near North Side

No Chicago community area had more people in 2020 than the Near North Side’s 105,481, and none is more densely settled.

### Oak Park

Prairie School and Victorian houses with deep basements, where a cellar is built against the old foundation, and heavy spring rains that raise the groundwater make a working sump and a raised rack base part of the plan.

### River Forest

The Des Plaines River and the Thatcher Woods forest preserve run along much of River Forest’s western side.

### West Loop / Near West Side

It was on the Near West Side that the Great Chicago Fire broke out in 1871.

### Wilmette

High bluffs once rose over the forested lakeshore where Wilmette now sits, some 14 miles up the shore from the Loop.

### Winnetka

North Shore estates with finished basements and purpose-built cellars, often cooled by split systems whose condensers must work through winters below zero, and household staff who keep an eye on the temperature log.
