Ceiling/Floor Air Conditioners

When you can't install on the wall or you need a wide air flow for shops and offices, the ceiling/floor air conditioner is the right answer, because the same unit mounts high or low and distributes air evenly.

What is the ceiling/floor air conditioner family?

Ceiling/floor air conditioners are a family of indoor units designed for spaces where the classic wall installation is not enough or not possible. The same unit can be fixed high up, near the ceiling, or low down, resting on the floor, and in both cases it delivers a wide and even air flow. They are highly valued in shops, waiting rooms, offices and commercial premises, where significant air volumes and good coverage over large areas are needed.

Why choose the dual installation

The real strength of this family is flexibility: a single product solves two different mounting needs. If you have glazed walls, low ceilings or furniture that takes up the walls, you mount the unit on the floor; if instead you want to free up the floor space, you fix it to the ceiling. The dual installation also simplifies renovations, because it lets you adapt the air conditioner to the room without giving up power and air distribution.

Where it really pays off

This solution is at its best in large, high-traffic spaces, where a wall unit would struggle to cover the whole surface. Think of an open-plan office, a meeting room, a restaurant or a classroom: the long throw reaches even the most distant areas. For smaller residential rooms or single bedrooms, a wall solution often remains more suitable, while for premises with a false ceiling you can consider the ducted systems or the cassette units.

Mono and multi: how many units you need

You can choose between two system approaches. With the monosplit you connect a single ceiling/floor unit to a single outdoor motor, ideal when you have to air condition one large room. With the multisplit, instead, you connect several indoor units to a single outdoor motor, so you reduce clutter outside and manage several rooms. If you want to build a tailored system, start from the multisplit configurator; if instead you need a single unit, look at the dedicated monosplit models.

How many BTU you need for your premises

The power is chosen based on the square metres, the ceiling height and the insulation. In this family you find sizes designed mainly for medium and large spaces:

  • 9000 and 12000 BTU: small and well-insulated rooms.
  • 18000 and 24000 BTU: offices, shops and medium-sized halls.
  • 36000 and 48000 BTU: large premises, open spaces and high-traffic areas.
  • up to 60000 BTU: warehouses, showrooms and large floor areas.

With sizes that reach up to 60000 BTU, this family covers surfaces that household units cannot handle.

The best brands available

You'll find the leading manufacturers in the sector, with official warranty and spare parts available: LG, Daikin, Fujitsu, Midea, Haier and Ferroli. Prices start from about 171 euros for the most compact units and rise to the high-power professional solutions, so you always find the configuration that suits your budget.

Smart home and offers

Many models integrate with the smart home systems with Alexa and Google Home, to turn on and adjust the climate by voice or from your smartphone even when you are not on site. Before deciding, take a look at all the current offers, because you often find the ceiling/floor units on promotion with installation included.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a ceiling unit and a floor unit?
It is the same unit installed in different positions. On the ceiling it frees up the floor space and directs the flow downwards, while on the floor it is more convenient when you have glazed walls, low ceilings or furniture that takes up the walls. That is why it is called dual installation.
In which spaces is a ceiling/floor air conditioner worthwhile?
It performs at its best in large, high-traffic premises such as open-plan offices, shops, waiting rooms and restaurants, where a wide air flow able to cover the whole surface is needed. For a single bedroom a wall solution often remains more suitable.
Can I air condition several rooms with a single outdoor motor?
Yes, by choosing a multisplit system you connect several indoor units to a single outdoor motor and reduce clutter outside. If you need to air condition just one large room, a monosplit with one unit and one motor is enough.
How many BTU do you need for a large office?
It depends on the square metres, the ceiling height and the insulation. For medium-sized offices and shops you often start from 18000 or 24000 BTU, while for open spaces and very large premises it is worth moving up towards 36000, 48000 and up to 60000 BTU.
Do these air conditioners also heat in winter?
Yes, the inverter heat pump units cool in summer and heat in winter efficiently, and in many cases they can replace or supplement radiators even in the largest professional spaces.
Which brands are in this family?
You'll find the leading manufacturers in the sector, including LG, Daikin, Fujitsu, Midea, Haier and Ferroli, with official warranty and spare parts available. Prices start from about 171 euros and reach the high-power professional solutions.
