Clean Design. High Impact. Maximum Performance.
M&M Cellar System, a leader in wine cellar cooling and design, executed a modern home wine cellar installation with expert precision. The wine room stands as a simple yet sophisticated solution for collectors who need both design and functionality to showcase their wines. Situated inside a one-of-a-kind modern home, this cellar was built to seamlessly blend into the modern interiors, transforming the wine display into true, show-stopping part of the house.
Frameless glass highlight the collection without disrupting the view. Meanwhile, minimalist metal racking offers label-forward visibility and secure support—balancing aesthetics and utility.

Reliable, Low-Profile Wine Cellar Cooling by M&M Cellar Systems
Mario Morales, lead technician of M&M Cellar Systems said, “We were called in for a service on a WhisperKOOL ceiling mount system that was having issues with its mini condensate pump. Upon arrival, we immediately removed the faulty pump and began installing a new one. While we were in the unit, I noticed some rust on the mounting bracket for the condensate pump sensor, so we took the time to clean that up and repaint it black to restore its integrity and appearance”
The WhisperKOOL Ceiling Mount 8000 Split System is a leading expert in wine cellar cooling climate control. This system offers powerful, quiet performance while preserving the sleek look of the cellar.
System Highlights:
-
Ceiling-Mounted Evaporator: Keeps visual clutter out of the space
-
Remote Condenser: Minimizes noise and vibration
-
Digital Climate Controls: Allows precise adjustment of humidity and temperature
-
Eco-Friendly Refrigerant: Uses R-410A for lower environmental impact
-
2000 cu. ft. Coverage: Ideal for medium-sized residential cellars
Making sure the coils are in good condition is crucial for the performance of the cooling system.
“Once the new pump was in place, we tested it to ensure it was operating properly—everything ran smoothly. After that, we performed maintenance on the evaporator coil and added a new condensate pan to improve drainage and extend the system’s performance. The unit is now running reliably, and the client was very pleased with the attention to detail.”
Engineered to meet the demands of serious collectors while fitting into luxury living environments.
Future-Ready Features to Elevate the Experience

Floating Tasting Ledge

Hidden Storage for Accessories
Concealed cabinetry for stemware, openers, decanters, or tasting notes keeps essentials nearby while preserving the clean visual aesthetic. -
Smart Tinting Glass Panels
