WhisperKOOL Phantom 5000 Wine Cellar Cooling System

A fully ducted, self-contained system for cellars up to 1,250 cu. ft. โ€” installed out of sight in an attic or adjacent utility room and ducted quietly into your wine room.

Fully Ducted & Concealed
The whole unit lives in an attic or utility room; only ductwork reaches the cellar
Self-Contained Simplicity
One-piece system โ€” no separate condenser or field refrigeration work
Quiet Centrifugal Blowers
Strong, even airflow with low noise for an undisturbed cellar
True Wine-Temp Control
Liquid bottle probe reads the wine's temperature, not just the air

Phantom 5000 Key Features & Benefits

Fully Ducted, Self-Contained Design

The Phantom 5000 is a single self-contained unit intended to be installed in an attic or a utility room adjacent to the cellar, then ducted in. Nothing is visible inside the wine room, and there is no separate condenser to place or field-charge.

Liquid-Temperature Bottle Probe

By monitoring liquid temperature instead of air temperature, the bottle probe keeps your cellar at true wine-aging conditions and prevents the short-cycling that air sensors can cause.

Quiet, Powerful Airflow

Centrifugal blowers deliver strong, even airflow while keeping operation quiet โ€” the unit can be oriented with blowers on the top or side to suit your duct layout.

Advanced Digital Control

An advanced digital display on a 50-ft cable puts setup and monitoring wherever it's convenient, paired with the liquid-temperature bottle probe.

Optional 24V Thermostat Conversion

The Phantom can be ordered with a 24V thermostat conversion kit for integration with smart thermostats (Nest, Ecobee, Honeywell). This option replaces the standard control and bottle probe, and the smart thermostat is sourced separately.

Handles Warm Mechanical Spaces

Rated to run in ambient temperatures as high as 110ยฐF, so it performs even in a hot attic or utility room.

Where It Fits in the Range

The Phantom line is fully ducted and self-contained: the Phantom 3500 covers cellars up to 800 cu. ft., the Phantom 5000 up to 1,250 cu. ft., and the Phantom 8000 up to 2,000 cu. ft. 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 โ€” 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 Phantom is a self-contained ducted system โ€” it installs in an attic or utility room next to the cellar and delivers conditioned air through ductwork. Plan duct runs and a dedicated circuit before installation.

Pre-Installation Requirements

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

Placement & Airflow

  • Locate the unit in an attic or utility room next to the cellar
  • Orient blowers on the top or side to suit your ducting
  • Keep the space ventilated โ€” unit is rated to 110ยฐF ambient
  • Duct both supply and return for balanced airflow

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 the condenser area clean and unobstructed
  • 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 โ€” 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

Where does the Phantom 5000 get installed?

It's a self-contained ducted unit designed to sit in an attic or utility room adjacent to the cellar. Conditioned air is ducted into the wine room, so no equipment is visible inside.

Is this a split system?

No. The Phantom is fully self-contained โ€” everything is in one unit, so there's no separate condenser to place or field-charge like a split system.

Does it need a dedicated circuit?

Yes โ€” a dedicated 115V, 20-amp circuit is required.

Can I use a smart thermostat?

Yes, via the optional 24V thermostat conversion kit. That option replaces the standard WhisperKOOL control and bottle probe, and you supply your own smart thermostat.
