Cassette Air Conditioner

What is a Cassette Air Conditioner?

Cassette air conditioners are the perfect fit for your modern decor. These subtle units are installed within the ceiling and sit flush, so only the grille is visible from within your home. Having one positioned in a central location can provide 360-degree airflow for year round heating and cooling.

Cassette air conditioners function just like the technology found within popular wall mounted split systems. They comprise a central, reverse cycle unit and an outdoors condenser, which houses the heat exchanger, amongst other functions.

The ceiling cassette tends to be utilised more for commercial scenarios. Still, these systems also suit residential use, with many leading brands designing models specifically for houses and apartments. They can even be installed in homes with floating ceilings.

Control one of these sleek systems with a remote, thermostat or smart controls if supported. Your friends and family can all enjoy year round comfort with a discrete system that's only visible when looking up.

FAQ

Which is better: a cassette air conditioner or split system?

The main differences between the two are price and performance. Cassette air conditioners are generally more expensive to purchase, but also more powerful, capable of heating and cooling large, open spaces. Split systems, however, can be more affordable to purchase with performance to suit small to medium-sized rooms. One is not better than the other. The best option depends on what is right for your home.

Is cassette air conditioning suitable for homes?

Yes, a cassette air conditioner is suitable for home use. Although mainly used for commercial purposes, many brands including LG, Mitsubishi and Fujitsu manufacture sleek and discreet residential systems. With low profiles and 360 degree airflow, these systems are ideal for central locations like living rooms.

Where do you install a cassette air conditioner?

A ceiling cassette air conditioner should be installed in the centre of the room to provide the best possible distribution of airflow. This way, the conditioned air can flow evenly in four directions or 360 degrees, depending on the system in use.
