Types of Commercial Air Conditioning Systems
Wide Variety of Heating and Cooling Systems
High Wall Heat Pump/Air Conditioning
This is the most common type of commercial air conditioning system often found in offices and living rooms across Rotorua and New Zealand. The indoor system is mounted at high level and connected to an outdoor unit often situated directly behind the indoor unit or the distance between the two can be up to 30m away depending on the model of the installed heat pump. This type of system is designed to heat and cool the space where it is installed into and operable from an easy to use hand held remote controller, Wi-Fi via smart phone, or fixed wired wall controller.
Floor Mounted Heat Pump/Air Conditioning
The floor-mounted heat pump/air conditioner is installed at low level. It is useful where wall space is not available for a high wall air conditioner. The floor-mounted system can often be a discrete installation and at times can be installed under windows. This type of commercial air conditioning is operable by an easy to use hand held remote controller and provide airflow from a lower height.
Ceiling Cassette Heat Pump/Air Conditioning
Ceiling cassettes are air conditions installed into the ceiling or ceiling grid with four way directional vanes to distribute warm and cool air. Ceiling access is required to install a ceiling cassette. These systems are designed for heating and cooling the room in which these are installed. This type of system is often found in retail stores. However, these are suitable for large areas and come in a ‘mini cassette’ option for smaller areas.
Under Ceiling Heat Pump/Air Conditioning
Under-Ceiling systems are suspended under the ceiling level and provide large capacity heating or cooling to open plan areas. The systems discharge air in one direction so is often used in large spaces, including retails stores or halls. As with all air conditioners, these filter the air as it is recirculated to provide clean air. Operation of these types of commercial air conditioning system in Rotorua is often by way of a fixed wired wall controller.
Ducted Heat Pump/Air Conditioning System
A ducted heating and cooling system is the discrete way to install heat pumps and air conditioning into your office building. These are central heating & cooling systems positioned in a ceiling space that transfer air to different areas of the building using insulated ducting and air outlet grilles in the ceiling.
Air is filtered through return air grilles. A ducted air conditioning system provides the discrete and quietest solution for your heating and cooling requirements in Rotorua. This type of system is more expensive than stand alone individual systems. However, if you want temperature control throughout your open plan office via one system, this is the system for you. Our sales consultant can discuss the varying types of commercial air conditioning and recommend a system to suit your office and budget.
Multi Air Conditioning/ Heat Pump System
Restricted for space to locate multiple outdoor units? The multi-system is for you. This type of commercial air conditioning system provides the ability to connect multiple indoor units mentioned above to one central outdoor system.
Most multi air conditioning systems allow anywhere from two to five indoor units to be connected. With a small multi system, simultaneous heating and cooling cannot be performed at the same time. The multi system offers capacity range from somewhere around 5kW up to 18kW before moving into the larger capacity VRF range.
VRF Commercial Air Conditioner Range
The VRF range is a high capacity commercial air conditioning system allowing several and multiple types of indoor units to be connected back to one or more larger outdoor unit.
The outdoor systems capacities can vary but often come in a range between 20kW up to 40kW before connecting them together to enable even larger capacities. These systems allow high level of control with options that allow for offsite monitoring, tenancy power usage and more. The delivery of VRF systems can vary up to 16 weeks, if not stocked in New Zealand.

Accredited Installation
Durable and High-quality Installation
The materials used during installation are of high grade and durable to ensure the air conditioning unit is able to withstand the elements for years to come. The indoor and outdoor commercial air conditioning systems are connected via two insulated copper pipes and electrical wiring which are contained within capping to provide a clean tidy finish.
Variety of Installation Options
If the outdoor air conditioning unit is to be located in a garden or grass area, we provide concrete pavers to give the system a solid foundation to sit on. The unit is then raised on PVC mounting feet to provide clearance under the air conditioners outdoor unit. Doing this helps prevent premature corrosion of the base of the unit.
For an external wall mounting, the common type of mounting Temprite use is galvanised brackets or wall brackets. If the air conditioners outdoor unit is to be placed on the roof, it is important that the roof penetration is carried out to meet building code and the outdoor unit is mounted on a level sturdy surface or frame. We normally use Monkey Toe aluminium condenser mounting systems. Before the outdoor unit is located on the roof, it is important to ensure safe future access for our servicing purposes.
