Offices & Co-working Floors
Even cooling across an open floor plan with no unit taking up wall or window space.
What's Included
Everything Covered in a Cassette Installation
Cassette fit-outs live above a ceiling most customers never see again after handover, so getting the void, drainage and bracket work right the first time matters. Every item below is checked on site and confirmed in the written quote.
- ✓Free on-site survey to confirm ceiling void depth, grid type and the available drainage route
- ✓Structural check of the suspended ceiling grid and slab fixing points before the unit is hung
- ✓Cassette body — typically four-way, or a compact two-way or one-way head for narrow rooms — sized to the cooling load
- ✓Decorative panel matched to the ceiling tile finish, clipped over the recessed unit body
- ✓Condensate pump fitted where gravity drainage isn't achievable across the ceiling void
- ✓Refrigerant pipework routed above the ceiling to the outdoor unit or a shared outdoor condenser
- ✓Dedicated electrical circuit and isolator, including three-phase supply where a larger unit needs it
- ✓Access panel or a lift-out tile left in place for future filter cleaning and maintenance
- ✓Vacuum pump-down and nitrogen pressure test on the refrigerant line before gas charging
- ✓Wired or infrared remote controller, with app or BMS integration available for multi-unit sites
- ✓Full commissioning: four-way airflow pattern check, static pressure and drainage test
- ✓Written handover pack with a filter-cleaning schedule and the 2-year workmanship warranty
Who It Suits
Is Cassette AC Right for Your Space?
Cassette units are the usual pick wherever a wall-mounted split would sit awkwardly above shelving, signage, artwork or a shopfront window, and wherever a suspended ceiling is already part of the fit-out. A single unit can also cover more open floor area than a comparable wall split, since airflow spreads in four directions from the centre of the room.
Shops & Showrooms
Keeps shopfront glazing and display walls completely clear of any indoor unit.
Restaurants, Clinics & Salons
Discreet cooling that blends into the finished ceiling instead of the decor.
How It Works
Our Cassette Installation Process
Because most of the work happens above the ceiling, the survey and prep stages matter as much as the fitting itself.
Site Survey & Ceiling Check
We measure the ceiling void, check the grid type and locate a viable drainage route.
Load Calculation & Unit Selection
Room size, glazing and occupancy set the required capacity and cassette type.
Ceiling & Structural Prep
Tiles are lifted, fixing points confirmed, and the support frame secured to the slab.
Installation, Piping & Drainage
The cassette body, refrigerant lines, wiring and condensate drainage are fitted and connected.
Pressure Testing & Commissioning
Lines are vacuum-tested, gas charged, and the four-way airflow pattern checked.
Handover & Maintenance Plan
Panel fitted, tiles reinstated, and a filter-cleaning schedule handed over.
Pricing
What Affects the Price of Cassette AC
Cassette installation for commercial spaces in Valencia starts from EUR 1,100 per unit, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on the factors below and is always confirmed in a written quote after a free on-site or photo/video assessment.
| Factor | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Unit capacity (BTU/kW) | Larger rooms need higher-capacity cassettes, which cost more and may require a three-phase electrical supply. |
| Ceiling void depth | A shallow void may call for a slimline cassette or extra structural work to create clearance. |
| Condensate drainage | A condensate pump adds cost wherever a continuous gravity fall to a drain point isn't achievable. |
| Number of units | Multi-unit fit-outs, such as every room on a shop floor, can often share one or two outdoor condensers, reducing the cost per unit. |
| Ceiling type | A suspended grid ceiling is quicker to work with than solid plasterboard, which needs cutting and patching. |
| Pipe run to outdoor unit | Longer runs across a building use more refrigerant, insulation and pipe support brackets. |

Where Cassette Units Make the Most Sense
Cassette work means coordinating with a suspended ceiling, structural fixings and drainage that other trades will later work around — our engineers plan that access before the first tile comes down.

FAQ
Cassette Air Conditioning Questions
Common questions Valencia businesses ask before fitting cassette air conditioning.
A ceiling cassette unit typically needs at least 250 to 300mm of void depth above the suspended ceiling to fit the unit body, insulated pipework and, where fitted, a condensate pump. Square Meter checks the exact void depth during the free site survey before confirming which cassette size will fit.
Cassette air conditioning installation for commercial spaces in Valencia starts from EUR 1,100 per unit, supplied and fitted, with the final price confirmed in a written quote after an on-site assessment of ceiling void depth, unit capacity and drainage route.
Yes, a cassette unit is designed to be recessed into a suspended grid ceiling so that only the flat decorative panel and four-way discharge grille are visible from below. A solid plasterboard ceiling can sometimes be adapted, but that requires extra cutting, structural fixing and patching work.
A single four-way cassette unit typically cools an open room of around 25 to 45 square metres depending on its capacity, ceiling height and heat load, making it well suited to a single office floor, shop unit or restaurant dining area; larger or split-plan spaces usually need more than one unit.
Cassette air conditioning can usually be fitted into an existing suspended ceiling with minimal disruption, since the ceiling tiles simply need to be removed and refitted around the unit. Spaces with a solid ceiling or a very shallow void may need additional structural work, which Square Meter identifies during the free site survey.
