Cassette AC
A square panel in the ceiling with outlets on all four sides. It cools the area right around it evenly, and bigger floors simply take more cassettes.

Cassette or ductable: what is the difference?
A cassette AC and a ductable AC both live in the ceiling, but they deliver cool air in different ways. A cassette unit is set into the false ceiling with its face panel showing and blows air out in four directions into the room below, which makes it a common choice for open offices, shops and clinics. A ductable unit is hidden above the false ceiling and pushes air through ducts to grilles, so only the grilles are visible, which suits halls, showrooms, banquet spaces and large living rooms. Health Air Cooling Systems in Bhopal, an authorised dealer for Mitsubishi Electric, Carrier and LG, recommends one or the other after a heat-load calculation and a check of the ceiling space. Its own crews then install the unit, and the same team repairs and maintains it with original company parts.

Side by side
Which ceiling AC fits your space?
The choice usually comes down to how big the space is, whether it is one area or several, and how much of the unit you are happy to see.
Ductable AC
A concealed indoor unit linked to ducts and grilles. One unit can reach the far ends of a long hall or several adjoining areas.
Visible Grilles onlyAir Ducted
Cassette AC
When a cassette AC is the right fit
Pick a cassette when the space is open, the ceiling is already false, and you want cooling spread evenly without a unit on the wall.
- Open-plan offices: several cassettes spaced across the floor.
- Shops and showrooms: walls stay free for display.
- Clinics and waiting areas: even air over seating.
- Homes: a living or dining room with a false ceiling.
Easy to reach for service
The filters sit behind the face panel, so routine cleaning is done from below without opening the ceiling.
Use Offices, shops, clinicsMount In-ceiling
Out of sight
A ductable split has its outdoor unit outside like any split AC, while the indoor unit and ducts stay above the ceiling.
Use Halls, showrooms, large roomsLook Concealed
Ductable AC
When a ductable AC makes more sense
Pick a ductable AC when the space is large or long, when the look of the ceiling matters, or when one unit should serve more than one connected area.
- Halls and banquet spaces: air carried to the far ends through ducts.
- Showrooms: clean ceilings with only grilles on show.
- Large living rooms: whole-room cooling with nothing on the walls.

We quote after seeing the space, because the unit is only part of the cost. These three things matter most.
CapacitySet by the heat load of the space, not by floor area alone.
Number of unitsOne ductable unit or several cassettes can cool the same floor, at different costs.
Ducting and ceiling workDuct length, grilles and openings in the false ceiling.

Cassette and ductable AC questions, answered
What is the difference between a cassette AC and a ductable AC?
A cassette AC is set into the false ceiling with its panel showing and throws air four ways into the room directly below. A ductable AC is hidden above the false ceiling and moves air through ducts to grilles, so it can serve a large hall or several connected areas while staying out of sight.
Do I need a false ceiling for a cassette or ductable AC?
Yes. Both are ceiling units: a cassette sits in the false ceiling, and a ductable unit and its ducts sit above it. Where there is no false ceiling, a floor-standing tower AC or a wall split is usually the alternative.
What is the price of a ductable AC in Bhopal?
It depends on the capacity, the length of ducting, the number of grilles and the ceiling work around them. We quote after a site visit and a heat-load calculation. Send the space type and area on WhatsApp to +91 98930 39099.
Which brands of cassette and ductable AC do you sell?
Mitsubishi Electric, Carrier and LG. Health Air is an authorised dealer for all three and supplies only original company units.
Do you repair cassette and ductable ACs of other brands?
Yes. Our technicians repair cassette and ductable units of all brands, using original company parts, for offices, shops, halls and homes.
Is a ductable AC the same as central AC?
A ductable AC is one way to centrally cool a single zone, such as a hall or an open floor. For a building or home where many rooms need separate control, a VRF system is usually the better fit, and we can compare both after a heat-load calculation.
