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.
