# Wine cellar cooling unit repair in Pasadena.

Craftsman and revival houses, some with true basements that make natural cellars, where a through-the-wall unit was added to hold 55 through a September heat wave, and after the 2025 Eaton fire, cellars near Altadena sat without power or cooling for days.

## What Pasadena does to a wine cellar cooling unit.

The 1991 Sierra Madre earthquake left more than a dozen Pasadena buildings uninhabitable, and City Hall was left with a cracked wall and an offset dome.

Instruments on the ground floor of three downtown Pasadena buildings measured 0.20 g during that quake, though the strong shaking lasted only about two seconds.

Among the small water companies Pasadena bought up over the decades was the Pasadena Lake Vineyard and Land Company, in the area where Benjamin Wilson had set up his Lake Vineyard property.

About 26 percent of Pasadena's housing units are in buildings of 20 or more units, and roughly 15 percent in buildings of 50 or more.

### 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.

### Mixed housing

Where the older half of a mixed block keeps its cellars downstairs, a basement cellar may share air with a furnace room, and a path left open around ducts and pipes lets warm air in, so the room check looks for gaps wherever something crosses the cellar wall.

### Family houses

A cellar in a family house often doubles as storage for boxes and bags that block the unit's supply or return, and cold air that cannot circulate leaves the upper racks warm, so clearing that path is part of the visit.
