We are wanting to add 1-2 extra zones and a few extra outlets (currently 2 zones and 8 outlets) and hubby is thinking that we may need to upgrade or we will be running at max whenever we are cooling the whole house. Just wanted to get some info on this? Thanks heaps!! Hi casey1983... We went to Actrons head office at Norwest & showed them our plans (Miami 15..) & then told them what unit we were offered. (SRA203, 2 zones & 9 outlets). They were great help. Told us that the unit was more than capable for our house.. Might be worth thinking bout if you are in Sydney...

I questioned it and was advised it was adequate for the house - i disagree and think it needs the SRA203 however i was only given the option to pony up the funds for the upgrade. Given the run of bad experiences in the thread recently - I'm almost glad our admin process has stalled for other reasons, and im considering just leaving for another builder.
