Concealed in a suspended ceiling

Ducted AC Systems in Varna

Concealed installation in a suspended ceiling — only the grilles are visible. One indoor unit serves several rooms via ducts. Ideal for villas, offices, restaurants and luxury apartments where aesthetics are a priority.

Why a ducted AC

A ducted AC is installed in a suspended ceiling and distributes conditioned air through ducts to several rooms. Only discreet supply and return grilles are visible.

Invisible interior

The whole unit is hidden in the suspended ceiling. Only discreet supply/return grilles are visible — no commercial AC on the wall.

One unit — several rooms

A single ducted indoor can serve 3–6 rooms via duct branches. Ideal for villas and offices with open layouts.

Quiet operation

The unit is in the ceiling, away from people. Actual room noise is significantly lower than wall splits. Suitable for conference rooms and hotels.

Daikin, Mitsubishi, Gree

Japanese premium and quality Asian brands. We offer slim models for low ceilings (from 20 cm) and standard ones for higher capacity.

Ducted or cassette — which is better?

Both types are concealed in a suspended ceiling but work differently. The choice depends on layout and how many rooms need to be served.

Ducted (with duct runs)

One unit serves several rooms via duct branches. Suitable when you want one device to cool a corridor, bedroom and living room. Requires ceiling space and route design. Recommended during a full renovation.

Cassette (single room)

The unit serves a single large room (living room, restaurant, conference hall). Supplies air in 4 directions through a face panel. Easier installation, no ducts needed. Suitable for open spaces up to 80 m².

Frequently asked questions

What is a ducted AC and how is it installed?

A ducted AC is an indoor unit installed in a suspended ceiling. Conditioned air is distributed via ducts to several rooms, with only supply/return grilles visible in the rooms. The unit itself is invisible.

What suspended ceiling height is needed for a ducted AC?

Standard ducted models are 25–30 cm high + 5–10 cm for ducts. Total 35–40 cm above the suspended ceiling. There are slim duct models 20 cm high — suitable for apartments with lower ceilings.

How many rooms can one ducted AC serve?

A single ducted unit can serve 2–6 rooms depending on capacity and total area. For example an 18K BTU model can cool 80 m² split across 3–4 rooms. For larger areas (200+ m²) several ducted units or a VRF/VRV system are used.

How much does a ducted AC cost in Varna?

Entry-level 12–18K BTU — from €1,500. Premium Daikin/Mitsubishi 18–24K BTU — from €2,200. Powerful models 36–48K BTU for large areas — from €3,500. Prices include VAT, excluding installation. Installation and ducts — additional €480–1,200 depending on design.

Can a ducted AC be added to a finished apartment?

Technically — yes, but it requires drilling walls for ducts and building a suspended ceiling (at least in the corridor and bedrooms). We recommend planning installation alongside renovation. If renovation isn't possible — consider a cassette or multi-split.

How long does a ducted AC last?

With professional installation and regular annual maintenance — 12–18 years. Ducted models are often more loaded than wall splits (larger air volume), so annual maintenance is especially important.
