This ceiling mounted air conditioner delivers consistent temperature control where comfort matters most. The wide-angle outlets distribute airflow evenly throughout the room, minimising hot or cold spots in open-plan offices, retail stores, restaurants, and homes.

The disposable filter also simplifies upkeep, ensuring your ceiling mounted air conditioning system continues to function
Maintenance becomes more manageable with thoughtful design features that prioritise accessibility and convenience. The optional automatic grille lowering function allows the grille to lower up to 4 metres from the ceiling in eight stages, enabling filter cleaning without towers or ladders. Filters can be easily unclipped, cleaned, and reinserted, helping maintain unit performance while preventing stains on ceiling tiles that occur when filters become dirty. Additionally, the built-in drain pump reduces installation complexity by eliminating one extra component requirement, making this ceiling cassette air conditioner more straightforward to install and service.
