Ducted vs Cassette Aircon

Featured Replies

Hi, as a person who can not live in summer without an air conditioner, I confidently say that it is worth buying. I find it very difficult without air conditioning. I live in Singapore, and the air here is scorching in the summer. I even sleep under the air conditioning. But at one point, my air conditioner broke down. I was in a panic. And didn't know what to do. Because it was getting boiling in the house, I had to call an air conditioning service company in Singapore. To get them to fix my air conditioner. The guys from this service came very promptly, and they fixed my air conditioner. They explained to me how to use the air conditioner to avoid damage. I am delighted with the service because they did it in a very reliable way. I hope that my information was helpful.

Wall air conditioners do not affect your room’s aesthetic nature when professionally installed. This is because a vent on the wall is used to exhaust humidity and heat, which can be unnoticeable. Also, the conditioner saves you more space as it is installed on the walls.

The wall air conditioners have a better cooling capacity and can cool a room fast. They are also designed to shut when a place is at a favorable temperature, saving you some utility cost.

Disadvantages of Wall Mounted Air Conditioner

When installing the air conditioning unit for a warehouse or a large office, more units are required increasing the cost significantly.

There must be enough ceiling space to support the unit. There are no alternatives to modify the ceiling, and therefore the only thing you can do in case you have insufficient ceiling space is to look for other types of air conditioning units.
