         3 . The ceiling-mounted air conditioner of  claim 2 , wherein:
 the fastener includes a covering plate having a shape curved corresponding to an outer line to be fastened fitting the outer periphery of the exhaust port, and   the covering plate is formed to be inclined from an outside to an inside.   
     
     
         4 . The ceiling-mounted air conditioner of  claim 1 , wherein the support is configured in a slit shape, and is disposed substantially near a center of the exhaust port. 
     
     
         5 . The ceiling-mounted air conditioner of  claim 1 , wherein a first fastener is configured on a rear surface of the fastener. 
     
     
         6 . The ceiling-mounted air conditioner of  claim 1 , wherein the support includes a fastening recess to which a first fastener provided in the fastener may be fitted by an external force. 
     
     
         7 . The ceiling-mounted air conditioner of  claim 6 , wherein:
 a stop jaw is configured at an end of the first fastener to be fitted and stuck to the fastening recess, and   the stop jaw has a double-sided hook structure.   
     
     
         8 . The ceiling-mounted air conditioner of  claim 1 , wherein a first fastener is configured to vertically extend near a center of a rear surface of the fastener. 
     
     
         9 . The ceiling-mounted air conditioner of  claim 8 , wherein the first fastener includes two plates that vertically extend while spaced apart by a specified gap near the center of a rear of the fastener and facing each other. 
     
     
         10 . The ceiling-mounted air conditioner of  claim 9 , wherein:
 a stop jaw is configured at an end of each of the two plates to be fitted and stuck to the support, and   the stop jaw has a double-sided hook structure.   
     
     
         11 . The ceiling-mounted air conditioner of  claim 1 , wherein:
 a horizontal rib and a plurality of vertical ribs crossing each other at, at least, one place inside the exhaust port is provided, and   the support includes two guide ribs guiding two opposite sides of a fastening recess so that the fastening recess is provided in a center instead of one of the plurality of vertical ribs.   
     
     
         12 . The ceiling-mounted air conditioner of  claim 1 , wherein the exhaust port is divided into a plurality of divided exhaust ports by blocking areas extending by a preset length in a circumferential direction of the housing. 
     
     
         13 . The ceiling-mounted air conditioner of  claim 12 , wherein the support is configured on at least one of the plurality of divided exhaust ports. 
     
     
         14 . The ceiling-mounted air conditioner of  claim 12 , wherein the support includes a plurality of supports and at least one support of the plurality of supports is configured on each of the plurality of divided exhaust ports. 
     
     
         15 . The ceiling-mounted air conditioner of  claim 14 , wherein the fastener is coupled to at least one of the supports respectively provided on the plurality of divided exhaust ports. 
     
     
         16 . The ceiling-mounted air conditioner of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a communication kit installed in the housing to allow a communication module to be flexibly at a position where signal performance is excellent.   
     
     
         17 . The ceiling-mounted air conditioner of  claim 16 , wherein:
 the housing includes a cover on outer portion at a lowermost end, and   the communication kit includes a second support attached to the cover.   
     
     
         18 . The ceiling-mounted air conditioner of  claim 17 , wherein the communication kit includes a second fastener with a second fitting protrusion configured to couple to the second support.
