Humiditech Wine Cellar Humidifiers
Are you fully protecting your wine?
If you do not have an active wine cellar humidifier installed in your wine cellar, then the answer is NO! Proper humidity is too often ignored when addressing the subject of wine room conditioning options. The fact is that humidity levels in your wine cellar are just as important as those of temperature to the long term health of your wine!
Ninety percent of the time it will be necessary to add humidity to your wine room in order to maintain the important 60-65% relative humidity level. Low humidity levels, even for part of the year, may result in compromised seals and oxidized wine.
Key Features:
- Unit only uses air from inside the wine room and not from an exterior room.
- Designed for in-wall, in-rack or wall-mount applications.
- Drip pad humidification with removable, cleanable pad.
- Light weight corrosion-resistant aluminum housing.
- Plugs into any 115 volt outlet.
- Energy efficient. ETL compliant.
- Includes a fully digital humidistat.

General Wine Cellar Cooling & Humidity Systems FAQs - A list of frequently asked questions regarding wine cellar cooling and humidity systems.
A: Humidity is as important as having the proper temperature in your wine cellar. Without proper humidity levels your wine cork can dry out allowing your wine to escape from the bottle. This can cause oxidation, which can alter the flavor and ruin the value of your wine. Protect your investment by maintaining the proper RH of 60-65%.
Is your wine at risk?
A: A hygrometer is a sure way to make sure you are maintaining the optimal humidity levels. If you do not have one and would like to know your cellar’s humidity level, contact a Vigilant sales consultant today at 888.812.4427 and for a small fee, one can be sent to you that you can keep in your wine cellar to constantly monitor your humidity levels.
Can I use humidification floor fountains and other water devices sold by other companies to insure proper humidity levels in my wine cellar?
A: No, these passive humidification systems cannot accurately keep your wine cellar at the optimal level of 60-65% RH. Only an active system that is integrated with digital controls that will trigger the turn on and off of the system when those levels are met.
A: Unfortunately, most wine cellar cooling systems such as the Breezaireâ„¢ or WhisperKOOLâ„¢ do not have integrated humidification options. The only system that offers integrated cooling and proper humidification is Vigilant's Climatech. However, if you have already purchased a wine cellar cooling system without active humidity control, the Humiditech is a perfect compliment to ensure that proper humidity is maintained.
Does the Humiditech tie into the cooling system (Ductless split or Thru-wall) to turn on and off, or does it work independently by itself?
A: The Humiditech is powered and operates independently from either system and controls humidity independent from temperature. The other system may be on and the Humiditech may not be because the humidity in the wine cellar is within the optimal range or vice versa. Check with your sales consultant for more details.
