Maintenance and repair of cassette air conditioners

Maintenance and repair of a cassette air conditioner is essential to maintain its efficiency and prolong its service life. It is a very effective option for the air conditioning of large, open spaces, such as offices, restaurants, halls, and commercial shops.

This type of system is designed to be installed in suspended ceilings. Depending on its design, it is almost hidden from view, making it an aesthetically pleasing and discreet option for commercial and residential environments.

If you are experiencing cooling problems, strange noises or leaks, contact us. The Climanova team is ready to help you resolve any issues and make sure your system performs optimally all year round.

What is a cassette air conditioner?

You’ve probably seen them many times before, cassette air conditioners are air conditioning systems that are installed in the ceiling. They have an indoor unit that distributes cool air in several directions, usually four, to ensure uniform coverage throughout the space.

This design allows for even air distribution, which is ideal for large rooms or areas with high ceilings where efficient cooling is required without compromising the aesthetics of the space.

Advantages of cassette air conditioning

Uniform air distribution: Thanks to their four-way design, cassette systems can cool large areas evenly. This ensures that there are no hot or cold spots in the room.
Aesthetic and unobtrusive: Because it is installed in the ceiling, the cassette air conditioner blends unobtrusively into the space, without taking up space on the walls or floor. This is especially advantageous in commercial areas where aesthetics are important.
Energy efficiency: Modern cassette air conditioners are equipped with inverter technology. They can thus intelligently adjust their power output to maintain the desired temperature with minimum energy consumption.
Quiet in operation: Despite their power, these units are usually quite quiet. For this reason, among others, they are suitable for environments that require quietness, such as offices or meeting rooms.
Versatility in installation: Cassette systems can be installed in modular ceilings or suspended ceilings. This gives great flexibility to adapt to different types of buildings and interior designs.

Most frequent breakdowns and problems

Although cassette air conditioning systems are highly efficient and durable, like any air conditioning equipment, they can develop problems over time, especially if they are not properly maintained.

In our experience, these are the most common breakdowns and problems that can affect these systems:

Refrigerant leakage: This is one of the most common problems in cassette air conditioners. A low refrigerant level can cause the system to not cool properly and, in some cases, can damage the compressor. If you suspect a refrigerant leak, contact us to perform a check, locate the leak and recharge the refrigerant.
Dirty air filters: They can clog the air flow, which reduces the efficiency of the system and can lead to overheating or insufficient cooling of the air conditioner. It is recommended that filters be cleaned or replaced regularly to ensure proper airflow and maintain system efficiency.
Fan problems: A faulty fan can cause poor air distribution and increase noise levels. If the fan is not working properly, the air conditioner will not be able to cool the space evenly. A technician should check the fan and repair or replace it if necessary.
Water accumulation and leaks: Blockage of the condensate drain can cause water accumulation inside the unit. As a result, leaks occur and damage the ceiling or walls. Keep the drain clean and ensure that the unit is correctly tilted to facilitate drainage.
Electrical problems: Electrical faults, such as loose connections or damaged wiring, can cause the air conditioning system to shut down unexpectedly or not work at all. Check electrical connections and, if necessary, contact us for more complex troubleshooting.
Bad smells: This can be due to mould or bacteria growing on the coils or in the air conditioner drain. This problem is common in humid environments. The solution is to thoroughly clean the coils and the drainage system. In addition, the filters should be replaced to eliminate the source of the odour.
