Fully Ducted Extreme 5000tiR Key Features & Benefits

Fully Ducted Design

The tiR adds duct plenums to WhisperKOOL's most powerful self-contained platform, so the unit can be mounted out of sight (attic, closet, or mechanical room) and ducted into the cellar for a clean, concealed look.

Variable-Speed Fan Technology

Variable-speed fans modulate to match demand, lowering noise and improving efficiency versus fixed-speed systems.

Liquid-Temperature Bottle Probe

The digital control reads the true temperature of your wine, not just the air, keeping the cellar at proper aging conditions.

Dual-Refrigerant Ready

Built for R-134a / R-513a, aligning with current lower-GWP refrigerant standards.

Flexible Power

Runs on a standard 115V, 20-amp dedicated circuit (230V subject to availability).

Where It Fits in the Range

The fully ducted Extreme tiR line covers cellars up to 800 cu. ft. (3500tiR), 1,250 cu. ft. (5000tiR), and 2,000 cu. ft. (8000tiR). A through-the-wall version of each is also available. Confirm sizing with a heat-load calculation before ordering.

A Note on Sizing

The cellar-size rating assumes a fully insulated room with a complete vapor barrier. Design factors such as glass walls, stone or concrete, high ambient temperatures, frequent door openings, or in-cellar lighting can increase the cooling load. When in doubt, choose the next capacity up β€” an undersized unit can run continuously, fail to reach temperature, and is not covered under warranty. We're happy to help you run the numbers.

Installation & Setup

The Extreme tiR is a self-contained, fully ducted unit β€” one piece, no separate condenser. Plan supply and return duct runs, a dedicated circuit, and a ventilated location before installation.

Pre-Installation Requirements

  • Fully insulated cellar with a complete vapor barrier (min. R-19)
  • Dedicated 115V, 20-amp circuit
  • Ventilated location for the unit (attic, closet, mechanical room)
  • Supply and return duct runs planned
  • 1/2" ID drain line routed to a suitable drain

Placement & Airflow

  • Mount the unit out of the cellar and duct air in
  • Keep the exhaust/condenser side ventilated and unobstructed
  • Do not recirculate exhaust air back to the intake
  • Allow service clearance around the unit

Cellar Design Best Practices

  • Maintain consistent insulation and seal all air leaks
  • Complete the vapor barrier on the warm side of the insulation
  • Install a properly weatherstripped cellar door
  • Plan rack layout for good air circulation

Maintenance

  • Keep condenser coils clean and clear of debris
  • Check the digital controller and bottle probe periodically
  • Inspect the drain line for free flow
  • Schedule an annual professional inspection
Sizing matters: the cellar-size rating assumes a fully sealed, insulated room. Glass, stone, concrete, high ambient temperatures, or frequent door openings increase the load β€” an undersized unit can run continuously, fail to reach temperature, and is not covered under warranty. We're glad to help you run the numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the ducted and through-the-wall Extreme tiR?

Both share the same variable-speed platform. This fully ducted version mounts out of sight and ducts air into the cellar; the through-the-wall version mounts directly in the cellar wall.

Is it a split system?

No. It's self-contained β€” one unit, ducted. There's no separate condenser to place or field-charge.

Does it need a dedicated circuit?

Yes β€” a dedicated 115V, 20-amp circuit (230V is subject to availability).
