Finding the Right Fit for Your Property
One of the most common questions we get from homeowners and businesses is: “which type of air conditioning unit do I need?” The honest answer is that it depends — on the size and layout of the space, how it’s used, where the outdoor unit can be positioned, and in some cases, the age and construction of the building itself. Below we’ve outlined the three types of unit we install most frequently along with honest guidance on where each one tends to work best.
Wall Mounted Air Conditioning Units
Wall mounted units are by far the most widely installed type of air conditioning system in domestic properties across Somerset — and for good reason. They strike the right balance between performance, installation flexibility, and value for money.
Wall mounted units tend to work well for:
- Living rooms, bedrooms, and home offices
- Single-room installations where a discreet, high-level unit is preferred
- Properties where ceiling void access is limited or unavailable
- Homeowners who want a cost-effective entry point into air conditioning
Ceiling Mounted Air Conditioning Units
Ceiling cassettes sit flush with the ceiling, making them virtually invisible once installed — only the grille panel is visible from below. Unlike wall mounted units, which distribute air in one direction, cassettes deliver conditioned air outward from multiple sides simultaneously, producing an exceptionally even temperature across larger or more open spaces.
Ceiling cassettes tend to work well for:
- Open-plan offices, meeting rooms, and reception areas
- Retail, hospitality, and leisure environments
- Spaces where a completely unobtrusive installation is a priority
- Larger rooms where a single wall mounted unit would struggle to distribute air evenly
Floor Mounted Air Conditioning Units
Floor mounted units are the most versatile option in our range, and they solve a specific problem that comes up more often than you might expect in properties. In rooms with limited wall space a floor mounted unit is often the most sensible solution.
Floor mounted units tend to work well for:
- Conservatories and garden rooms with limited wall space
- Rooms with predominantly glass walls or large picture windows
- Properties where wall fixings are restricted due to construction type
- Anyone who prefers a lower-level installation for ease of access and maintenance
