Wine Cellar Cooling Problems
Wine needs 55°F ±3°F and 60–70% humidity. Any deviation puts your collection at risk. These are the most common issues we diagnose.
Emergency
Wine Cellar Too Warm
Temperature above 60°F and rising. System running but not cooling, or unit completely off. Every degree above 55°F accelerates wine aging.

High Priority
Humidity Problems
Humidity too low (dry corks, oxidation risk) or too high (mold, label damage). Bay Area fog makes humidity management especially tricky.
