Let’s be honest. When someone says, “Do you want a wall-mounted, floor-mounted, or ducted system?” your first thought might be: “What's the differance” You’re not alone. Air conditioning can sound fancy and confusing but that’s where we come in. At Leicester Air Conditioning Services, we make this stuff simple. So, let’s break it down.
Wall-Mounted Units – The Classic Choice
These are the most common types of air conditioning. They sit up high on your wall, quietly doing their thing without taking up any floor space. Perfect for keeping rooms cosy in the winter and gloriously chilled in the summer.
Pros:
Saves floor space (great if your home office is cramped).
Easy to install and maintain.
Cons:
You’ll need a wall that can support it.
Doesn’t quite have the “stealth mode” of a ducted system.
In short, wall-mounted units are reliable, fuss-free, and perfect for most rooms in your home.
Floor-Mounted Units – The Undercover
If you’ve got low / uneven ceilings, or just prefer your AC to be, well… closer to the ground, a floor-mounted unit could be your best mate. They’re great for heating because warm air rises, so it feels more natural than having air blow from above.
Pros:
Ideal for low walls or sloped ceilings.
Can be discreetly tucked away in corners.
Cons:
Takes up some floor space.
Needs a bit more care to keep free from dust and furniture blocking airflow.
Floor-mounted units are perfect if you want a system that blends in without dominating your room.
Ducted Systems – The VIP Experience
Ducted systems are like the penthouse suite of air conditioning. Hidden in your ceiling or under the floor, they quietly deliver conditioned air to multiple rooms at once. Fancy, right?
Pros:
Super sleek, basically invisible.
Can control multiple rooms from one central system.
Adds a touch of “wow” for visitors.
Cons:
Installation is a bigger job (you’ll need a professional… hi, that’s us!).
Costlier upfront, but worth it for the comfort and control.
If you love the idea of setting your house to the perfect temperature without seeing a single unit, this is the one for you.
So, Which One Should You Pick?
Honestly, it depends on your space, budget, and how much you love to show off your air conditioning. Wall-mounted is great for most rooms, floor-mounted is perfect for tricky layouts, and ducted gives your home that luxury feel.
At Leicester Air Conditioning Services, we’re here to guide you through the options no jargon, no stress, just honest advice from people who actually know what we’re talking about.
