A Complete Buyers Guide to Cassette AC
The Cassette AC is one of the most popular Indoor Unit being Installed in the modern households today. The Air Conditioning Industry is rapidly changing, there are new developments every year. Initially, the air conditioners were a symbol of luxury, and around 20 years back these were mostly seen in the above middle class and upper-class households, but since then the industry has evolved a lot and so did the per capita income in the Indian Households. Nowadays we can find Air conditioners basically in each and every household because they have become a lot cheaper and also their power consumption has greatly reduced, but still, the most popular air conditioning units still remain the Window and Hi-Wall Type Split Units are popular because they are price effective, easy to install and easy to maintain.
But there is also the problem that the Window is occupied in the case of Window AC which also produced more noise (Relatively) and the Hi-Wall Splits occupy a prominent space on the wall, so if we want a ductless system in the ceiling that is elegant and has low operating noise levels, we have the option of Installing the Cassette-type Air Conditioning Units. The major point that one take in mind while deciding to buy a cassette ac is the fact that these units generally cost almost twice as much as the split type unit, these units don’t occupy space on the wall or floor and are mounted in the ceiling but then the ceiling needs to have space of at least 12-14 inches and 3-3.5 sq. ft and they would require false ceiling work to be done once the unit is installed.

-
High Efficiency
o These units are placed in the ceiling (Mounted on fasteners) and a very thin grill is visible, they can effectively send the Cool Air/ Hot Air to a distance of 10m from the Unit and since the Hot air rises up and cold air goes down, they have the advantage of using convection currents for faster and more efficient cooling, there are different types of cassette units, some can distribute the air in 4 direction, single direction, or double direction. Most of these models are Inverter Technology based which have a low power consumption and high-efficiency levels where the rated ISEER levels are close to 4-5.

Easy Installation

The fan is sufficiently powerful for the effective distribution of air to all the widest areas of the room.

Aesthetically Pleasing
o The Cassette ac looks much better than a split or a window AC but, only a very thin panel is visible and the major part of the indoor body is tucked inside the faux ceiling. The copper pipe and drain piping are also hidden in the ceiling itself. The units have a built-in drain pump to remove the condensate water up to 10 meters. The panels also have the option of waffle patterns and classic patterns.
