Hi,

I am renovating my apartment. My contractor before cutting my plaster ceiling assumed that there was enough space to fit a cassette type air con. Now that the plaster is exposed the height available from plaster to concrete slab is 9 inches.
The Panasonic we chose needs about 14 inches height so he recommended we create another drop down plaster in the middle of my plaster ceiling to accommodate the difference. I think it's going to look awful as we chose the cassette to give the place a stream lined look. Is there any cassette type brand anyone knows that will accommodate that minimal height ? I checked online and the brand Friedrich seems to have one at 9 1/4 inch but I can't seem to find anywhere in KL that sells it .

Please help !!!!

I have not seen the model for the air con as yet as I told the contractor not to bring it into the house and that I want to do some research on this rather then accept his word that there are no air cons out there that will fit.
I knw it should be 2 hp and he is saying he needs 14 inches of height to fit it in hence the need for another smaller drop down ceiling.
Do you know models that will fit that space ? If yes do let me know and I can speak to whomever who is selling it re the spec.
Thanks !

That's about 9.7 inches. I better get myself to an airconditioner store and see what needs sorting as they need to complete this in the next couple of days. Thanks for your help ! Sigh... The JOYS of renovations !

Thanks a lot. Just went over to the apartment and good to note they have stopped work on the air con plaster works. Appreciate the info.
