Wine Coolers Empire provides complimentary product-focused wine cellar design planning and cooling system recommendations. Request Free Design Help Call +1-888-407-7770 Email an Expert Product Overview The WhisperKOOL Ceiling Mount 8000 was designed for collectors who want reliable wine cellar climate control without a visible wall-mounted evaporator. The evaporator installs flush into the ceiling, helping the system blend into the cellar design while preserving valuable wall space for wine racks, displays, and architectural finishes. This ductless split system draws warmer air from the upper part of the cellar, cools it, and redistributes conditioned air throughout the room to help maintain the ideal environment for wine storage. The exterior grille has a durable black powder-coated finish and can be custom painted to better match the ceiling or surrounding cellar design. For more guidance on cellar temperature, see our guide: What is the Ideal Temperature for a Wine Cellar? Key Features Flush Ceiling Installation The evaporator is designed to mount flush between ceiling joists, keeping cooling equipment visually discreet while preserving cellar aesthetics. No Ductwork Required This ductless split system provides powerful cellar cooling without the added complexity of a fully ducted installation. KDT Digital Touch Display The KDT Digital Touch Display can be installed up to 50 feet from the unit and includes Advanced System Protection alerts. Liquid Temperature Bottle Probe The bottle probe measures liquid temperature, giving a more accurate reflection of wine temperature than ambient air readings alone. Integrated Air Filter The air filter helps protect the system from debris during startup, installation, and early cellar construction stages. Improved Service Access Electrical wiring, bottle probe wiring, and line set connections are positioned for improved access during installation and servicing. Advantages and Limitations Advantages Limitations Nearly invisible ceiling-mounted evaporator Requires professional HVAC-R installation No ductwork required Requires ceiling cavity access Preserves wall space for wine racks and displays More complex than a through-wall cooling unit Remote condenser helps reduce in-cellar noise Proper insulation and vapor barrier are essential Strong capacity for large residential cellars Not ideal for small or temporary wine storage rooms Installation Requirements Required Qualified HVAC-R technician Properly insulated and sealed wine cellar Vapor barrier construction Ceiling access for evaporator placement Refrigeration line set between evaporator and condenser 1/4-inch ID clear plastic drain tubing Important Sizing Factors Glass walls or doors Stone, concrete, or poor insulation High ambient temperatures Frequent door openings Improper vapor barrier installation Heat load from lighting or nearby rooms The 2,000 cu. ft. capacity rating assumes a properly built wine cellar. Projects with glass, stone, concrete, or insufficient insulation may require a larger system. Learn more about proper cellar insulation: Best Wine Cellar Insulation.
