Ceiling cassette Gold Coast
What is a ceiling cassette air conditioner?
A ceiling cassette is the indoor unit of a split air conditioning system, built to sit above a suspended or plasterboard ceiling with only a square grille panel showing. It draws air up through the centre and blows it out in several directions, usually four, for even temperatures across the room.
Ceiling cassettes take up almost no visible space and are known for quiet running. They are a natural fit for single-room commercial spaces, and the same qualities make them a good choice for open-plan living rooms, large bedrooms and other residential rooms where a wall split would look out of place or there is no suitable wall.
Frost Solutions provides complete installation and service for ceiling cassette air conditioners in commercial, retail and domestic settings. A cassette gives the right balance between performance and looks. We install and service systems from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries , Daikin , Samsung , Hisense , Fujitsu , Mitsubishi Electric and Panasonic .
Applications
Where are ceiling cassette AC units used?
Cassettes are most used in commercial spaces: fitness centres, small and medium offices, retail shops, restaurants and cafes. We also install them in homes where a single room or open-plan area needs air conditioning and there is ceiling space above for the unit.
Fitness centres and gyms
Even airflow across an open floor, with nothing on the walls to work around mirrors and equipment.
Small and medium offices
One cassette can cover an open-plan area or meeting room without blowing straight onto one desk.
Retail shops
Wall space stays free for shelving and displays, and the unit is out of reach of customers.
Restaurants and cafes
Quiet, centred air distribution over the dining area, with the outdoor unit out the back.
Medical and consulting rooms
A clean, flush ceiling finish and individual control for each room.
Homes
Large open-plan living areas and rooms where a wall split will not fit, in homes with a ceiling void.
Pros and cons
Is a ceiling cassette right for your space?
Why people choose cassettes
- Discreet: only the grille shows in the ceiling
- Air delivered in several directions for even temperatures
- Walls stay free for furniture, shelving and displays
- Out of reach, which suits shops and public spaces
- Quiet, because the compressor is outside
What to weigh up
- Needs a ceiling void deep enough for the unit and service access
- Installation involves cutting the ceiling and running pipes above it
- Usually costs more to install than a wall split of similar size
- The drain pump and filter need regular cleaning
For multi-room buildings, several cassettes can run from one system; see VRV systems and commercial air conditioning.

Cassette questions
Frequently asked questions
How much ceiling space does a cassette need?
A cassette body sits above the ceiling, so it needs a ceiling void deep enough for the unit, its drain pump and pipes, plus access to service it. Depth varies by model; we check the ceiling space and framing on site before recommending one. If the void is too shallow, a suspended cassette mounts below the ceiling instead.
Are ceiling cassettes noisy?
No more than a good wall split. The compressor is in the outdoor unit, so indoors you hear the fan. Because the air spreads in several directions, the fan does not need to run hard to reach the corners of the room.
Can a ceiling cassette be used in a home?
Yes. Cassettes suit large open-plan living areas and rooms with no suitable wall, as long as there is ceiling space above. For a whole house, ducted air conditioning is usually the better choice.
How are ceiling cassettes maintained?
The filter sits behind the face panel and should be cleaned regularly. A professional service cleans the coil, fan, drain pan and drain pump. See air conditioning maintenance.

From my initial phone call to the pre-check and installation, all correspondence and actions were clear and understandable (for someone who is non tech savvy).. Shout out to Paul (Senior Technician) ... He was also clear when showing me how to use the air-con, and info on future servicing and cleaning when needed. Thanks Frost Solutions Team, I highly recommend you to anyone needing a new aircon :)

Wow! Frost Solutions is possibly the best all round company I've worked with for a long time. The admin staff, sales and tradesmen-installers were all very polite, efficient and easy to communicate with. From the time I phoned to organise a quote to the full install was only an about a week ...

Incredible service from start to finish! ... We had some extenuating circumstances that caused a number of delays at our end, and a significantly sloping site, but the crew from Frost were super accommodating, kept in touch but we're never pushy to get "the sale". ... We would highly recommend Frost.

Thank you Frost Solutions. Liam and Henry arrived before the booked time, a very good first impression. Both lads did a very professional job installing our Air con. The wife and I most definitely recommend the superb service of Frost Solutions.
