Selecting the right sized system for you home is really important to get right, as it directly impacts how comfortable you’ll be and how efficiently your system will run. A lot of factors impact what size system you need.
If you live in a particularly challenging environment, like tropical or sub-tropical areas, more demands are put on your system than in less harsh climates. If you feel like you’ve factored in the above, there are a number of options you can use to calculate the size system you need:
Using a formula
This can be a quick and easy method, but it also tends to be fairly broad/non-specific, so can be good in terms of getting a general idea of the size you need but for anything more specific than that it can leave a lot to be desired. To use this method:
For example: A house has an area that is 10m wide x 10m long, with 2.4m ceilings.
A 15kW unit is roughly the right size for this room.
Use an online calculator
Online calculators may give you a more accurate estimate than the basic formula, but you typically will have to provide more information on a range of factors – the more information you can supply, the better the calculation. There are a number of calculators online that you can find with a quick Google search.
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.
A key consideration in selecting an air conditioner is how energy efficient it is.
Pick the system that suits you best
To make sure your system is energy efficient, it’s vital to ensure the system is selected and installed (often referred to as “designed”) for you properly:
Rating Systems
Additionally, energy performance information can also be found in a number of rating systems. These rating systems often leave a lot to be desired, because they’re not necessarily reflective of how you actually use an air conditioner, or the conditions an air conditioner operates in, and assumes that the design of the system is appropriate for you home.
As such, whilst these rating systems are a quick source of information, to achieve energy efficient performance it’s far more important to get the overall Design correct.
These energy ratings system include the following:
Non-ducted systems: Energy Label
Found on non-ducted products like Wall Hung Split systems, the Energy Label gives a quick reference to the expected energy efficiency performance of your system in each of the climate regions found in Australia. Put simply, the higher the star rating, the better the expected energy efficiency of your system. Our Serene system includes one of Australia’s only 7 star rated system – learn more here.
Ducted systems: Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) and Coefficient of Performance (COP)
Often easily found in the technical data of a system’s brochure, these figures represent the ratio of cooling (EER) or heating (COP) a ducted system provides relative to the amount of electrical input it needs to consume, and are a measure you can use in understanding a system’s expected energy efficiency. And as with the Energy Label on the non-ducted products, the higher the EER/COP number, the better it’s energy efficiency is expected to be.
However, the method used to determine these figures is less than ideal. It’s a bit technical and boring, but it’s really important to know. In a nutshell, these figures don’t accurately capture the actual energy efficiency of a system.
You see, air conditioners deliver more energy efficient performance by matching the amount of conditioning they provide more accurately to your actual needs, rather than generating more air than you require. That’s why they focus so heavily on technical elements like zoning, advanced variable compressors, and energy efficient fans – these all work together to allow the system to vary based on your needs. The performance of these systems are also heavily impacted by how well they maintain their capacity, (the amount of heating or cooling they can provide), in the different temperatures they operate at.
And where these rating systems fall over is that they don’t adequately measure the performance of all of these elements together, at a wide enough range of conditions. They also assume that you have a system appropriate designed for your home and your lifestyle, which is not necessarily the case.
For true energy efficiency, it’s far more important to select a system that suits your lifestyle, and is sized correctly. Working from that foundation, it’s then important to select the right features like zoning, controls, and energy efficient compressor technology.
When it comes to getting an air conditioner installed in your home, the typical costs can roughly be broken down into 3 areas:
As you can imagine there is a lot of variance in the final cost of a fully installed system, based on the unique needs of the specific job:
All Actron systems sold have a 5 years manufacturers warranty. For more details refer to Actron warranty guidelines and warranty terms & Conditions. Please register your warranty on Actron website:

How to Maintain Your Warranty
Keep a copy of your invoice
Ensure your air conditioning installer is qualified and holds a current refrigeration handling license.
Ensure operation is as per manufacturer’s instructions.
Ensure the air inlet and outlet of the outdoor unit is kept clear of obstructions.
Replace exhausted batteries in remote control.
If your system fails, contact the manufacturer without delay.
In case of any warranty issues we can help guide you through the manufacturer warranty process. First point of contact is to contact the manufacturer. The manufacturer details will be on the warranty form which came with the system purchased. When placing a warranty claim you will need to provide proof of purchase (your tax invoice). In addition further information is also available on Actron website.
You should have your systems serviced right before each cooling and heating season starts.
We accept payment via direct debit, Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay & Google Pay. Cheques are welcome however it take 10-14 days processing time depending on the bank and the clearance date.
Add some attic ventilation! This will reduce moisture and lower your cooling costs.
