Cassette Air Conditioner FAQ

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

The main differences between cassette units and the more familiar split systems are price and performance. Cassette air conditioners are, generally speaking, 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 smaller spaces like small to medium-sized single 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, cassette units are ideal for central locations and large spaces like living rooms.

Where do you install a cassette air conditioner?

A ceiling cassette aircon system 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.
