Where Design Meets Preservation
Every great wine tells a story — and so does every cellar that protects it. The right environment transforms storage into stewardship, preserving taste, texture, and character for years to come.
At Pack-Timco, we engineer custom wine cellar cooling systems that balance performance, aesthetics, and acoustics. From quiet operation to humidity precision, our designs protect your collection while complementing the architecture of your home.
The Science of Wine Preservation
Fine wine is alive. Temperature, humidity, and airflow all play critical roles in how it matures.
- Temperature: Optimal storage is between 55°F and 58°F.
- Humidity: Between 55% and 70% to prevent corks from drying.
- Air Quality: Clean, odor-free airflow prevents contamination.
Even a small deviation can impact aging potential. That’s why Pack-Timco designs each system with laboratory-level precision — the same care we bring to medical and high-end residential environments.
“A wine cellar is more than refrigeration,” says one of Pack-Timco’s engineers. “It’s a controlled ecosystem designed to age your investment, not just store it.”
How Pack-Timco Designs Wine Cellar Climate Systems
Every project begins with understanding the space behind the collection. Our engineers analyze insulation, wall materials, and heat load before selecting equipment.
- Site Evaluation
We assess your room’s volume, construction, and heat gain from adjacent spaces. - System Selection
We choose the right configuration — ducted, ductless, or split systems — based on performance, access, and aesthetics. - Humidity Management
We integrate dehumidifiers and sensors to maintain stability throughout the year. - Air Distribution
Even airflow ensures no “hot” or “dry” corners. Our Mechanical Room Design ensures hidden equipment stays accessible and silent. - Installation & Calibration
Our technicians test every component, verifying temperature accuracy to within one degree and humidity within 2–3%.
Choosing the Right Cooling System Type
Each solution is integrated to fit the project, not the other way around.
Pack-Timco partners with leading brands and uses proprietary design tools to balance cooling capacity, humidity, and air exchange for each unique cellar.

Quiet Operation — The Sound of Quality
Noise is one of the most overlooked elements of wine cellar design. Even the best equipment can disrupt a tranquil tasting space if not engineered properly.
Pack-Timco uses sound-dampening materials, remote-mounted compressors, and vibration isolation to create near-silent operation.
“The system should disappear into the background,” says a Pack-Timco project lead. “You should hear conversation and clinking glasses — not the hum of machinery.”
Humidity and Airflow Control
Consistent humidity is critical. Air that’s too dry causes corks to shrink and wine to oxidize. Air that’s too moist leads to mold and label damage.
Our integrated Indoor Air Quality Inspections and control systems maintain balance automatically, adapting to seasonal conditions.
We also use Seasonal Tune-Ups to keep sensors accurate and prevent drift in long-term performance.
Mechanical Room Integration
Behind the visible beauty of your cellar lies a compact ecosystem of precision controls, pumps, and condensate management.
Our Engineered Mechanical Rooms organize these components in clean, serviceable configurations that enhance reliability and appearance.
Piping is labeled, electrical circuits are isolated, and every piece of equipment is accessible for maintenance — no hidden surprises down the line.
Aesthetics Matter
Luxury homes deserve HVAC systems that match their architecture.
We coordinate with builders, millworkers, and designers to hide mechanical components behind panels or ceilings while maintaining ideal performance.
No exposed coils. No visible drains. Just seamless integration that respects the artistry of your cellar.
Energy Efficiency and Sustainability
Modern systems use advanced variable-speed compressors and smart thermostats to reduce energy waste.
Combined with Pack-Timco’s expertise in Geothermal Heat Pumps and radiant systems, wine cellars can become part of a home’s broader sustainability plan — efficient, quiet, and low-impact.

Precision Maintenance for Long-Term Performance
Even the best systems need fine-tuning. Pack-Timco offers ongoing inspections and performance verification to maintain calibration.
Our maintenance includes:
- Temperature and humidity recalibration
- Refrigerant pressure checks
- Condensate management review
- Fan and sensor cleaning
- Control system updates
Each visit keeps your investment stable — bottle after bottle, year after year.
