Cassette AC Price in Nepal — The Right Choice for Offices, Restaurants, and Commercial Spaces

A cassette AC is not a residential product. If you are searching for a cassette AC in Nepal, you are almost certainly fitting out a commercial or semi-commercial space — an office, a restaurant, a clinic, a hotel room, a retail showroom. This page is written for that buyer specifically, not for someone who wandered here from a bedroom AC search.

The cassette AC gets its name from the fact that the indoor unit sits inside the false ceiling, with only a slim panel visible below. That panel pushes conditioned air in four directions simultaneously — forward, backward, left, right — which is why cassette ACs are the correct format for rooms where uniform cooling across the entire floor area matters. A wall-mount split AC, no matter how powerful, pushes air from one direction only. In a 400 sq ft office with workstations at all corners, this creates a hot-and-cold problem that a cassette solves structurally.

Cassette AC Price in Nepal — Current Range by Capacity

Cassette AC installation is more complex and expensive than wall-split installation. It requires a false ceiling with adequate depth (minimum 250mm), structural anchoring, condensate drain routing, and electrical work. Total installation cost in Kathmandu typically adds NPR 15,000–35,000 to the unit price. Call 014377714 for a site-specific installation quote before purchasing.

The Three Things You Must Know Before Buying a Cassette AC in Nepal

1. You must have a false ceiling — and it must be deep enough. A cassette AC indoor unit requires a minimum 250mm (25cm) ceiling void above the panel to fit. Most commercial spaces in Kathmandu and other Nepal cities built in the last 15 years have standard false ceilings with 300–400mm void, which is adequate. Older buildings or residential conversions may have shallower false ceilings that require structural modification before installation. If you are not certain about your ceiling void depth, a site visit before purchase is essential. Call us at 014377714 to arrange a pre-purchase site check.

2. Capacity sizing for commercial spaces is different from residential. For offices, restaurants, and retail spaces, the standard rule is approximately 1 ton per 120–150 sq ft of occupied area — but this must be adjusted upward for high occupancy (many people in a small space), equipment heat load (computers, servers, kitchen equipment), and glass walls or west-facing exposures. A 500 sq ft office with 10 workstations and a glass frontage may need 4 ton of cooling, not the 3.5 ton that square footage alone suggests.

3. Multiple smaller cassettes beat one large cassette for most Nepal office layouts. A single 4 ton cassette in the centre of a 1,000 sq ft space will cool the centre well but leave corners and corridors underserved. Two 2 ton cassettes placed in a grid pattern across the space give better airflow distribution, more redundancy if one unit requires service, and the ability to zone-control — switching off half the space after hours. For spaces above 600 sq ft, multi-unit planning is always worth discussing before purchasing. Our team can help plan this at 014377714.

Cassette AC vs Wall-Split AC — Which Should You Buy?

The decision comes down to three factors: space size, false ceiling availability, and whether uniform airflow matters.

For spaces below 250 sq ft, a 2 ton wall-split AC is cheaper to buy and install, and adequate for the space. For spaces above 250 sq ft with a false ceiling, the cassette is the correct format because four-directional airflow covers the space uniformly. For spaces above 400 sq ft without a false ceiling, a floor-standing AC is the only practical format.

Frequently Asked Questions — Cassette AC Price in Nepal

What is the starting price of a cassette AC in Nepal?
Cassette AC prices in Nepal start from approximately Rs 1,19,290 for a 1.5 ton CG unit. Most commercial-grade 2 ton cassette units range from Rs 1,40,000 to Rs 2,00,000. Prices exclude installation. See all options on the AC price in Nepal page.

Can a cassette AC be installed in a home?
Yes, in large residential halls or living rooms with false ceilings. However, for standard residential rooms, a 1.5 ton wall-split or 2 ton wall-split is simpler to install and significantly cheaper. Cassette installation in a home only makes sense when the room design specifically benefits from ceiling-mounted airflow distribution.

What brands of cassette AC are available in Nepal?
CG, Midea, and Gree all offer cassette AC models in Nepal. CG is recommended for buyers requiring service outside Kathmandu. Midea offers the widest commercial range. Contact 014377714 for commercial project pricing.

How much does cassette AC installation cost in Nepal?
Cassette installation is significantly more expensive than wall-split installation. In Kathmandu, expect NPR 15,000–35,000 for a single unit including false ceiling work, drain routing, and electrical connection. Complex installations in multi-floor buildings cost more. Always get a site visit and installation quote before purchasing the unit.
