Ceiling-cassette mini-splits in a South Hill home

Ceiling cassettes in the renovated rooms

The ceiling layout changes from room to room. In the room that opens into the kitchen, a Mitsubishi Electric cassette sits near the wood-framed opening. In the room with a sloped ceiling, another cassette fits into the flat section above the window. Mounting the indoor units in the ceiling leaves wall space open around the windows and trim.

Outdoor equipment and controls

The Mitsubishi Electric outdoor equipment sits alongside the house. The exterior photo shows the unit on its base and the covered lines along the siding. Inside, a close-up shows a wall-mounted controller against patterned wallpaper.

Boiler replacement

The renovation also included replacing the boiler. That work was in the mechanical room, where the project photo shows the heating equipment and pipework together.

Start with the rooms that need heating or cooling. If you have a floor plan, mark any sloped ceilings, large windows and planned light fixtures. Those details help the installer discuss cassette placement before the ceiling finishes go in.

Ask where the outdoor equipment would sit, how the indoor units would be reached for service and where condensate would drain. If your renovation also includes a boiler replacement, ask for that work to be described separately in the estimate.
