Fully Ducted Self-Contained Wine Cellar Cooling System
WhisperKOOL Extreme 8000tiR Ducted Cooling Unit
The WhisperKOOL Extreme 8000tiR is a powerful fully ducted self-contained wine cellar cooling system designed for large residential wine cellars up to approximately 2,000 cubic feet. It is ideal for collectors, designers, builders, and homeowners who want strong cooling performance while keeping the cooling equipment hidden from view.
Designed for wine cellars up to 2,000 cu. ft.
Fully ducted self-contained installation
5,760 BTU/h cooling capacity
Can be installed up to 25 ducted feet away from the cellar
Maintains 55°F cellar temperature with up to 110°F condenser intake temperature
Includes advanced digital controller and bottle probe
The WhisperKOOL Extreme 8000tiR is engineered for large custom wine cellars where performance, quiet operation, and visual discretion matter. Unlike standard through-the-wall wine cellar cooling units, this ducted system allows the equipment to be located away from the cellar while cool air is delivered through ductwork.
This makes the Extreme 8000tiR especially useful for luxury residential wine rooms, high-end custom cellars, and design-focused projects where visible cooling equipment would interrupt the finished look of the space.
The system includes a WhisperKOOL digital thermostat, liquid temperature measuring bottle probe, and duct plenums. It is designed to maintain proper wine storage conditions when the cellar is fully insulated, sealed, and built with a proper vapor barrier.

Extreme Climate Performance
The system can maintain a 55°F cellar temperature with condenser air intake temperatures up to 110°F.
Bottle Probe Accuracy
The included liquid temperature measuring probe monitors the temperature of the wine rather than relying only on ambient air temperature.
Flexible Control Options
Use the standard WhisperKOOL controller or upgrade with the optional 24V thermostat conversion kit for smart thermostat compatibility.
Quiet Cellar Experience
Ducted installation helps reduce visible and audible equipment presence inside the wine cellar.
Advantages and Limitations

Installation Requirements
Important: WhisperKOOL wine cooling units work best in a well-insulated and sealed wine cellar with a proper vapor barrier. Every wine cellar has different cooling requirements, so a heat load calculation is recommended before selecting a system.
Cellar Construction
Fully insulated wine cellar, proper vapor barrier, well-sealed cellar door, minimal air leakage, and heat load evaluation before purchase.
Electrical Requirements
115V power supply, 20 amp dedicated circuit required, and 10 running amps.
Ducting Requirements
Can be installed up to 25 duct feet away from the cellar with 8" supply duct and 10" return duct.
Drain Requirement
3/8" ID clear plastic drain tubing required. Drain tubing is not provided.

The WhisperKOOL Extreme 8000tiR is rated at 5,760 BTU/h. This value is an estimate based on standard assumptions and should not be treated as a guarantee for every cellar.
Cellar size, insulation, glass exposure, stone, concrete, lighting, door type, ambient temperature, and vapor barrier quality can all affect cooling demand. A cellar with high heat gain may require a larger cooling unit than cubic footage alone suggests.
The optional 24V Thermostat Conversion Kit allows select WhisperKOOL systems to work with compatible 24V smart thermostats.
Connect a compatible thermostat to Wi-Fi
Control temperature from a phone, tablet, or laptop
Monitor runtime and energy usage
Set alarm notifications
View cellar conditions remotely
Please Note: WhisperKOOL does not provide smart thermostats. If you choose the 24V Thermostat Conversion Kit, the system will not be built with the standard WhisperKOOL control or liquid measuring bottle probe. You must purchase your own compatible 24V smart thermostat.
Optional Accessories
Condenser Coil Coating
Recommended for coastal or salt-air environments to help reduce corrosion risk and extend service life.
The WhisperKOOL Extreme 8000tiR is a strong choice for homeowners and cellar professionals building large custom wine cellars where the cooling equipment should remain hidden from the finished space. Wine Coolers Empire typically recommends this model for larger residential cellars that require ducted installation flexibility, reliable performance, and precise temperature control.
Before ordering, confirm cellar size, insulation quality, ambient conditions, duct routing, and heat load requirements. If you are unsure whether the 8000tiR is the right size, contact our team before purchase.
