A cassette solves the problem a wall-mounted head cannot: what to do when every wall in the room is glass, cabinetry or a doorway. The indoor unit recesses into the ceiling, only a flat grille shows, and conditioned air spreads outward from the center of the room instead of blowing across it from one side. That is why you see ceiling cassette mini split heads in restaurants, offices and open-plan living areas where a visible wall unit would draw the eye.
We stock ACiQ cassettes because they slot into the same inverter heat pump family as the wall and floor heads we sell, so a renovation can mix formats on one outdoor unit without mixing brands or controls. If you are building a multi-zone layout, or looking at the ducted Goodman AHU range for the rest of the house, talk to us before you order and we will confirm which heads pair with which condenser and what each ceiling cavity needs.

Best Ceiling Cassette Air Handlers for...
Open-Plan Living Areas and Great Rooms
The best ceiling cassette for a large open room throws air in every direction from the center of the ceiling. The ACiQ 24,000 BTU Ceiling Cassette Mini Split Air Handler covers the widest floor area in this collection.
Bedrooms and Private Offices
The best cassette for a bedroom or office is the smallest head that still keeps the room even. The ACiQ 9,000 BTU Ceiling Cassette Mini Split Air Handler suits rooms where a 12,000 BTU unit would short-cycle.
Shallow Ceiling Cavities and Retrofits
The best ceiling cassette for a tight joist bay is a slim chassis. The ACiQ 18K BTU Slim Ceiling Cassette Mini Split Air Handler fits where a standard cassette will not.
Single-Room Installs Without a Multi-Zone Condenser
The best cassette for one room on its own outdoor unit is a single zone head. The ACiQ 6K to 12K BTU Slim Ceiling Cassette Mini Split Air Handler is the single zone option in this collection.
Quick Spec Comparison
Every head in this collection runs on R454B refrigerant and 208 to 230 volt power. The differences are capacity, chassis depth and whether the unit is built for a single zone or multi-zone system.
