Suspended cassette Gold Coast
What is a suspended cassette air conditioner?
A suspended cassette is a split system indoor unit fixed to the underside of an existing ceiling, rather than recessed into it. It delivers air in several directions and suits rooms, offices and shops with little wall space and no ceiling void deep enough for a recessed cassette.
Because the unit hangs from the ceiling, it works under concrete slabs, exposed rafters and shallow ceilings. Frost Solutions provides suspended cassette installation, servicing and maintenance, and helps you choose a brand and model that suits the room, its use and your budget.
Compact design
Why choose a compact suspended cassette?
Suspended cassettes are compact and low in height, so they sit close to the ceiling and stay out of the way. Their louvres can be set to several positions to aim the air, they run from a wall controller or remote, and they are quicker to install than a recessed unit because no ceiling cavity is needed.
We install ceiling-suspended indoor units with slim bodies and adjustable louvres for the right airflow angle. Many suit multi-unit piping layouts, so several indoor units can be part of one larger system in a building. We supply and install systems from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries , Daikin , Samsung , Hisense , Fujitsu , Mitsubishi Electric and Panasonic .
Key features
What are the key features of suspended cassette air conditioners?
The key features are a slim, modern body with louvres that close when off, airflow in several directions for even temperatures, a built-in drain pan to collect condensation, and efficient fans paired with an inverter outdoor unit to keep running costs reasonable.
Modern looks
A slim, clean body that sits flat against the ceiling. On most models the louvres close fully when the unit switches off, leaving a tidy finish.
Multi-direction airflow
Air leaves from the front and sides, and adjustable louvres let you set the angle. That spreads air across a wide room instead of blasting one corner.
Drain pan
Condensation collects in a built-in drain pan and runs away through the drain line. Some models use antibacterial treatments on the pan to help keep it clean.
Energy efficiency
Paired with an inverter outdoor unit, the system adjusts its output to the room. Efficient fan motors move a lot of air for the power they use.
Applications
Where are suspended cassette AC units used?
Suspended cassettes are used most in offices, shops, restaurants, cafes and classrooms, and in homes with large rooms or no ceiling void. They are ideal where there is no false ceiling, or very little space above one, and where the occupants need comfortable, adjustable airflow across a wide area.
- Offices and meeting rooms with exposed or concrete ceilings
- Shops, showrooms and hospitality venues
- Schools, childcare and community spaces
- Garages, workshops, home gyms and large rumpus rooms

Suspended cassette questions
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a suspended cassette and a ceiling cassette?
A ceiling cassette is recessed into a ceiling void, with only a grille showing. A suspended cassette, also called an under-ceiling unit, mounts on the surface of the ceiling, so it needs no ceiling void. Choose suspended when the ceiling is concrete, exposed or too shallow.
Can a suspended cassette go in a home?
Yes, though it is more common in commercial spaces. It suits large rooms, garages, workshops, home gyms and rooms with concrete or raked ceilings where a wall split or recessed cassette will not work.
How is a suspended cassette maintained?
Clean the filter regularly, and have the coil, fan, drain pan and drain line professionally cleaned as part of a service. 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.
