Which Air Con

Page 1 of 1
Am trying to decide whether to go Actron or Accent Air.

What is the experience out there, what considerations are there that I need to include int eh decision process.

Anyone had bad experiences?

Thankd

I have never heard of either of these companies but unless you have got one I guess why would you have. We will be going going with a Bonaire duel system later on. This is only because we will already have Bonaire ducted heating as this is what the builder suppies.

I guess could select a system from both with the features you want and get a quote from each. Im guessing that the price will vary a fair bit, Air con to the whole house can be quite expensive.
If you are after the individual zone temperature control feature, there are two other companies I've found - Intelligent Life (which has a fresh air option) and Livezi.

They mainly use digital scroll compressors. I'm a big fan of inverter compressors - I've had 3 Daikin inverters and they are incredibly quiet and cheap to run (I've had ducted air in homes for at least 30 years, and the Daikin is easily the quietest).
ACTRONAIR ESP PLUS!

We are putting in a 24kwt unit with 8 zones, 13 outlets!

Hi,

We are going with the Actron Plus aswell. After talking to an air conditioning specialist and asking about the best units available, this came out on top, even though they offered many other brands. Yes the price is high, but the reasons are clearly explained and it is very cost efficient. There is something about not needing to use the entire output airflow like many other air conditioners, as it can be run on reduced output. But I don't know the technical language for it. My brother also looked over the specifications (he is a Refridgeration Electrician) and commented it offers to be an extremely good unit.

Hope this helps.
Actron ESP Ultima 18kw, single phase, for me once house is ready for ruffing
Actron ESP Ultima gets my vote too. We've had both Daikin and Panasonic systems in the past and our current Actron leaves them both for dead. Most versatile and efficient A/C we've ever used.

Building A New House

Hi everyone, thanks for the replies. It's an Actron Air Classic, I believe 20kw. I rang Actron themselves, I was told the system puts out 900 litres per sec air flow, and…
