Through-the-Wall System

One of the most popular, reliable and least expensive styles used in private cellars is a “through-the-wall” configuration, in which a self-contained air conditioning unit is mounted literally through the wall.This is one of the best-selling air conditioning systems in the industry leading product line by WhisperKOOL.

These systems are best for smaller cellars, as they have a limited cooling capacity. Thought must be given to the best placement of these systems, so as not to interfere with the racking.

Whether or not the unit is quiet and energy efficient are points to consider.  Does it complement the look of the cellar? Also, you want to make sure that it has the ability to duct warm condenser air away from the area to create a more comfortable living space.The WhisperKOOL 6000 satisfies all these conditions and it is capable of cooling a good-sized wine cellar of up to 1,500 cubic feet.

Above all else remember that a regular room air conditioner is not an alternative to purchasing an air conditioner specifically designed for use in a wine cellar from a reliable manufacturer.

Ducted System

More versatile than self-contained systems these systems offer more flexibility when it comes to design and installation.A grille on the inside wall is connected by insulated flexible ductwork to a self-contained unit outside the cellar that contains the evaporator, fan and condenser. This system can be placed in any indoor, out-of-the-way location outside the cellar. The result is a quiet cellar with no obtrusive equipment taking up space.

Split System

When ducting is not feasible, for instance when the condenser must be installed outdoors or in a unheated space, a split system can be used.The way they work is the evaporator fan is mounted inside the cellar while the condenser is outside the room and connected via refrigeration tubing.

Unlike the first two styles, the split system must be installed by licensed electrical and refrigeration technicians. The split system can be sized for any sized cellar. A superb collection of split system models is available from WhisperKOOL.

The problem comes in when you are dealing with central air conditioners. It doesn’t matter whether it is a split air conditioner or a package air conditioner. The reason for this is that they are typically not sold to the general public. It requires a licensed air conditioning professional to install a new air conditioning unit and to charge the system with R-22 Freon or the newer R-410A Puron, and it is not a one man job.  You can expect to see two or three people involved in the installation process.  In some areas an inspection is required after the installation is completed to insure that the job meet the local building code requirements.  All of this makes the process of shopping for a deal a lot more difficult because now you are not just shopping for a product, you are shopping for a product/service package deal.

I am just like you, I don’t want to pay for something and find out a week later that the Jones’ down the street got the same thing I did for half of the price. It would make me feel like I was taken advantage of. My first recommendation is to make sure that you are comparing apples to apples. Have to ever heard the saying “An astronaut doesn’t want to fly to the moon in a rocket ship that was built by the lowest bidder”? The make and model of the air conditioner may be the same, but the materials and skills used to install the unit may be entirely different, and that could mean the difference in having a unit that will last you for 7 years versus a unit that will last you for 25 years.

Here are some tips to help you feel good about the cost of the INVESTMENT you are about to make in you air conditioning unit:

• Nothing is better than ‘word or mouth’ references from satisfied customers.  Create a short-list of proposed installers and start the quoting process.
• If you don’t have that to work with, then the next best thing is to decide on the BRAND of air conditioner that you want to have installed, then visit the local distributor to see if they can recommend a handful of installers.
• Lastly, if you run across any homes that have air conditioners installed the you really like, then find out who the contractor was for the home and they can most likely tell you who installed the air conditioner for that home.

Once you feel that you have a handful of quality installers identified, then find out if they can quote you separately for the air conditioner, materials, and labor.  If you can get a breakdown then you can begin to compare apples to apples and effectively shop for the best prices.

1. 2010 is the magic date when Freon begins to phase out. No new equipment will be manufactured using freon (R-22) coolant. Once the network news turns this into their hot topic, then you’ll be behind the curve as everyone will be jumping on board and quality installers will be in demand.
2. If something happens with your job or other circumstances arise that require you to move, it will be much easier to sell a house already configured with PURON air conditioning. It will not add to the value of your home, but in a buyers market it is a strong incentive to choose one property over another.
3. Some (not all) New Home Air Conditioners will qualify for a tax credit of 30% of the total cost (including installation) up to $1,500 in 2009 and 2010. This is what we will focus on in this post.

In order to qualify for the tax credit, you must purchase and install either a SPLIT SYSTEM with a SEER rating of 16 or higher and an EER rating of 13 or higher, or a PACKAGE SYSTEM with a SEER rating of 14 or higher and an EER rating of 12 or higher. You don’t have to be replacing an older unit to qualify, but if you are you will most likely have to replace your heater too if it acts as the air handler for your home air conditioners. To verify if you are eligible for the tax credit, you will need the MANUFACTURERS CERTIFICATION STATEMENT for the equipment you plan to purchase. This is available through your contractor, or the equipment manufacturers website.

What is SEER and EER?
SEER is an acronym for SEASONAL ENERGY EFFICIENCY RATIO and it measures how efficiently home air conditioners will operate over an entire season. The calculation compares the cooling capacity in BTUs versus the energy in Kws that is consumed over the same time. This is just an FYI, because this calculation is done by the manufacturers and is clearly marked on the unit.

EER or ENERY EFFICIENCY RATIO is pretty much the same thing, but this time it is measured with a constant outside temperature. The number derived is BTU hours per watt and this number is also provided by the manufacturer.

In both cases, the higher the number, the more efficient the equipment is rated. As of January 2006, all home air conditioners sold in the US must have a SEER rating of at least 13.

SPLIT SYSTEM vs PACKAGE SYSTEM
A split system has THREE COMPONENTS, the outdoor cabinet with he condenser and compressor, an indoor cabinet with the evaporator coil, and an air handler that pushes the cool air through the ducts which is usually incorporated into the heater unit. With a split system, air is recirculated within the home.

A package system has all of these components located in one cabinet which is located outside of the home. With a package system, new air is circulated into the home from outside and return ducts are sent outside.
