AIRES

This depends on how old your air conditioner is and if it is still covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.

Your current ducted air conditioner has looked after you for a long time but is now starting to show its age by needing repairs which keep popping up. As you will know repairs can add up over time and a major issue like a compressor or outdoor coil replacement can cost you a considerable amount.

As an example, the cost to replace a compressor in an older air conditioner that operates with R22 refrigerant can be upwards of $3800 or to replace a damaged outdoor coil the cost is approx. $5500. 

Remember, you will still be left with an older, less efficient air conditioner and with the possibility of other major repairs soon because of the air conditioner’s age.

When looking into air conditioning, it’s common to come across references to single or three phase power.

This simply refers to the method of power supply used in your home, with single phase air conditioners being suited to single phase power supply, and three phase air conditioners being suited to three phase power supply. As a general rule of thumb, three phase power supply is used on larger capacity systems, but the specifics vary from brand to brand. ActronAir’s comprehensive range of ducted air conditioners includes a wide array of choices for both single and three phase systems to suit houses of all shapes and sizes.

It’s really important to make sure you select an air conditioner that is compatible with your home power supply – rest easy, your ActronAir installer can assist you in making the correct choice as part of their cost and obligation-free consultation with you.

There are a number of differences between Ducted and Wall Hung Split systems.

A big difference is the amount of heating or cooling they can provide. Typically, Split systems are suited to treating smaller spaces like a single room, whereas Ducted systems are better at treating your entire home. That’s because Ducted systems usually come in bigger sizes than Split systems, allowing them to provide more powerful comfort to bigger areas.

Another obvious difference is how they look. With a Split system the indoor unit is usually mounted on your wall, whereas for the most part Ducted systems are more discrete, with most of the components of the system (like the indoor unit and ducting) installed inside your ceiling space, with the ceiling vents and the wall controls/sensors the only visible parts of the system inside your home.

Another crucial difference is zoning and advanced controls. For true efficiency and comfort, zoning is extremely important, and while Split systems can provide you with some advanced control options, for example mobile control apps like our Easy Connect, they don’t offer you any zoning options.

On the other hand most Ducted systems typically offer a wider range of controls to choose from – learn more about our award winning controls. And importantly, most Ducted systems also provide you with zoning options – thanks to our unique Tru-Zoning, no one does zoning better than ActronAir, with more choice, more inclusions, and smarter performance.

When it comes to controlling your comfort, we provide you with the widest range of control products to choose from – you can learn more about our controls range here.

The specific controls available to you will vary depending on which system you choose, with every product page on the website having a dedicated section outlining which control options are available – you can rest assured that regardless of which system you pick, you will have a range of options to choose from.
