wine fridge installation by replacing a cabinet

10 years ago
last modified: 10 years ago

We've been wanting to get a wine fridge installed. The ideal spot for the fridge was at the wet bar so I took measurements and went online to hunt around for a wine fridge close to those dimensions. Since the current cabinet area was custom, it was hard to find a fridge that was less than 19" deep. There are a few helpful websites (ie. http://www.ajmadison.com/b.php/Wine+Coolers/N~34) that allow you to search by width, length and depth so that's how I found the one that fit (exactly one!).

The second and harder part was figuring out who could actually help cut an opening on the left cabinet side & also do electrical work to move the outlet down (it's probably not ideal to have the wires coming out of the cabinet to the top electrical socket). I emailed a few places but all came back with various answers of only being able to doing parts of it (just cutting the opening, or just doing electrical) or covering bigger projects.

It was through the company I purchased the fridge from that I was referred a contractor who could fulfill both the carpentry and electrical work. So happy to see (and drink from) the final product!

    Very nice! Looks just like it belongs there. What brand did you end up with and do you like it?
