What is a cassette system air conditioner?
Ceiling mounted cassette systems are one of the most unobtrusive air conditioning systems you can own. Like most other air conditioning systems in Perth, it’s comprised of an indoor and outdoor unit that works together to cool or heat your property.
The outdoor unit consists of a highly powerful compressor and energy efficient direct current electric motor. The combination of the two can reduce your electricity costs and helps to maintain peaks in energy demand.
The indoor unit is different to other air conditioners because it’s located above the ceiling and stored in a self-contained cassette (how it gets its name). It can provide air flow in virtually every direction and has the ability to sense motion in the room and adjust settings accordingly.
How does cassette system air conditioning work?
Cassette air conditioners operate in much the same way as a split system unit, except that a cassette system is installed into the ceiling rather than on the wall.
The indoor unit itself sits flush to the ceiling and distributes air conditioned comfort through two, three or four sides of the unit. The outdoor unit of a cassette system air conditioner is mounted similar to a conventional wall mounted split system unit.
A cassette system can reach a steady room temperature quickly and provide a consistent level of comfort without using too much energy.
The indoor unit can alternate air flow in almost every direction via horizontal or vertical planes. It has sensors that can monitor movement, air flow speed and temperature and automatically regulate via a central command console.

The outdoor unit can monitor filter conditions, illuminating a warning lamp on the command console when it needs attention.
Cassette system air conditioners tend to be more powerful than wall-mounted systems, which is why they are most commonly designed and installed for large commercial or office spaces.
Advantages of cassette system air conditioning
Although a more expensive alternative to conventional air conditioning systems, a ceiling mounted cassette system delivers many benefits.
Benefits include :
- Powerful and quiet – you won’t even realise it’s running! The energy efficient system can effectively distribute air across a wide area, providing four-way airflow with powerful cooling capabilities.
- Responsive – a cassette system has sensors that can automatically respond and adjust settings according to changing conditions or increased movement.

- Lower running costs – the highly efficient inverter compressor and direct current electric motor, provides consistent cooling and can maintain a set temperature range. As soon as it reaches the right temperature, power use is reduced, allowing you to save on energy costs.
- Subtle design – the flush interior unit makes for a good looking system. The indoor unit of a cassette system is also manufactured using oil resistant materials, minimising staining from cooking vapours or smoke.
- Easy to maintain – a ceiling cassette system doesn’t require a lot of maintenance, but you should keep on top of filter checks. We also recommend having your system serviced regularly by a local air conditioning specialist in Perth, to ensure it continues operating at an optimum level.
