Air Conditioning System Types
Not sure which type of air conditioning is right for your home? We supply and install a wide range of systems to suit different spaces, styles, and budgets. Here’s a quick guide to help you understand your options – and remember, we’re always happy to recommend the best setup for you during your free home survey.
Wall Mounted Air Conditioning
Our most popular choice for homes.
Sleek, stylish, and cost-effective – wall mounted systems are ideal for bedrooms, living rooms, home offices, and more.
- Compact indoor unit fixed high on a wall
- Connected to an outdoor unit via discreet pipework
- Delivers powerful cooling and heating with whisper-quiet operation
- Smart features automatically adjust room temperature for comfort and efficiency
- Great for: single rooms, retrofits, everyday home use.
Ducted Air Conditioning
The most discreet whole-home solution.
Ducted systems hide the indoor unit in your loft or ceiling space, with air distributed through vents in each room.
- One central unit connects to multiple rooms via hidden ducts
- Minimal visual impact — just stylish ceiling/wall grilles visible
- Each room can be independently temperature controlled
- Great for: whole-house systems, new builds, or stylish renovations.
Under Ceiling Air Conditioning
For homes without loft or ceiling space.
Under-ceiling units are mounted on the ceiling surface and distribute air gently across the room.
- Requires ceiling height to accommodate the unit
- Pulls air upward and pushes it out horizontally
- Avoids direct airflow on people
- Great for: rooms without suspended ceilings or limited wall space.
Ceiling Cassette Air Conditioning Systems
Powerful, subtle and ideal for larger open-plan spaces.
Installed into a suspended ceiling, cassette systems deliver airflow in four directions for even coverage.
- Mostly hidden above the ceiling
- Only a sleek decorative grille is visible
- Cools more space with fewer units
- Great for: open-plan living, kitchens, home gyms, or garden rooms.
Single & Multi-Split Systems
Flexible options for connecting multiple rooms to a single outdoor unit.
- Single Split: one indoor unit to one outdoor unit
- Multi Split: up to 4 indoor units from a single outdoor unit
- Different indoor styles can be used in different rooms
- Fewer outdoor units required, saving space and clutter
⚠️ Note: If the outdoor unit fails, all indoor units are affected – so we recommend backups where possible.
- Great for: homes with limited outdoor space or mixed room needs.
Low Wall Mounted Air Conditioning
Discreet and practical — especially for rooms with low ceilings or limited wall space.
- Indoor unit installed low on the wall, like a radiator
- Same great performance as standard wall units
- Sleek and modern flat design
Also available: portable floor units for temporary or movable use — just plug into a socket and place near a window.
- Great for: conservatories, lofts, garden rooms, or bungalows.
