i have a very low ceiling height, about 9.35ft tall. was advised to do false ceiling to run the aircond piping from two bedrooms and the living room (condo). both rooms are located left and right of the living room. in a dilemma right now, not totally against the idea of false ceiling but because the condo is already very small and i still need to fix the ceiling fan, this lowered ceiling is definitely troubling me. the service yard is located at the other end which is why the recommended false ceiling to run the pipes to save cost.

condo owners, what are your experiences?

btw, the contractor said the pipes not advisable to bend 90degrees, which makes my options even lesser to run against the wall (which a cove lighting should be good to cover up).

Appreciate the quick reply
