What is a cassette air conditioner?

Summer in Queensland can be very unforgiving and having the right air conditioning system in your home or business, will without a doubt make the hot days so much more bearable.

A cassette air conditioner is a heating and cooling solution (reverse cycle split system) that will provide your family or staff with all-year-round climate control comfort.

Finding the most suitable air conditioning unit to suit your household or commercial property and budget can be a little daunting, as there is no “one size fits all” when it comes to air conditioning solutions.

Typically cassette air conditioners are the most suitable system for office and commercial spaces, such as supermarkets, and hospitals. However, many residential properties enjoy the benefits of having this style of aircon installed in their home as well.

Let's take a closer look at cassette air conditioners

A cassette air conditioner is installed in the ceiling, as opposed to wall mounted, and is one of the main types of inverter split systems. This style of aircon is an ideal option in residential dwellings where installing wall units or ducted aircon is not practical.

Cassette units are designed for use in large areas so tend to be of larger capacity than many wall-mounted units, and due to their four-way, airflow will dispense cold air to each corner of the room. As with conventional wall-mounted aircon systems the compressor unit of a cassette aircon is positioned outside.

Pros of a cassette air conditioner

• Compact design
• Four-way airflow allows for excellent distribution of air.
• Powerful cooling and heating technology
• Space-saving design
• Energy efficient
• Whisper quiet operation

Cons of cassette air conditioners

• Needs sufficient roof space above the ceiling
• External components can be noisy
• Often more costly to purchase compared to wall-mounted split systems
• Need for more than one unit if wanting climate control for the entire home or office.
