Not necessarily. While false ceiling does reduce the cooling load when non ducted units are used, it is provided mostly for aesthetic purposes. If you have no problems with exposed ducts, you don’t have to provide false ceiling. Alternatively, flexible ducts with better finishes and Turbo Splits are also available.
