ActronAir ESP Platinum Questions & Answers

David Duthyasked
I have a room that is 9.1M by 6.5M single room i need suggestion for air conditioning. I thought of a 12.0KW ducted system four vents.
2 answers
I think the Actron is far too big and complex for a single room application, even a large room. It controls temperatures in multiple rooms with automatic fan speeds and dampers. You would be much better off going for a simpler and cheaper system.

How many KW does it use an hour? Thanks

Hi Mark C,
This link can be used to estimate running costs: http://www.energyrating.gov.au/calculator
You can also use the input power to calculate this, but this is when the system is operating at the test conditions used for Australian standards.
The input power for this particular model is:
4.17 nett for cooling
4.72 nett for heating
Depending on how much you are charged per kW hour, this would be multiplied by the above input.
Eg: If you are charged $0.20 per kW hour, on cooling it would be approximately $0.83 per hour to operate. On heating, it would be approximately $0.94 cents per hour to operate.
I hope this helps!
Thanks - Catherine

EPA Tasmania and the local council say that the heat pump can not emit more than 45 dB(A) 7am to 10pm and 40 dB(A). What is the noise emit from an ActronAir CRV4-19AS-0100. My neighbour has said it is fairly loud.

I do not think ANY air con units would comply with that unless they are turned off! You need to check how far from unit it needs to be that low. Read the brochures or all aircon units incl Actron, And the other big brands. I did. They are all similar!

Hi Mick M,
Thanks for getting in contact with us on Product Review. Do you know where the local council is taking the reading from? As this can impact the results. The data in our brochures is taken 3m from the unit.
Thanks - Andrew
Andrew, thank you for replying. The local council bylaws/EPA Tasmania state one meter from the external wall, I am assuming this would be from the neighbours property side. The neighbour has not yet complained to the council but I was hoping to find out in case the neighbour does. So the 65/71 dB(A) is from 3 meters? Also are there lower levels if the heat pump is not at full capacity?

how noisy is a 55 kw system over a 25 kw system and is there any precautions I can take to reduce noise
1 answer
A 25kw is domestic, 55kw more suited commercial and it would be a lot louder. The fans top vent and not sideways so any rebounds are eliminated but when the unit is scrolling up to temp quickly they are all loud. Without building a enclosure not much you can do.

is this unit suitable enough to be installed in a 70sq single story home
we are having 8 zones 13 outlets and 2 controllers
3 answers
As a user, not a technical rep, in my situation I have about 30 squares single story and the unit does it easily for cooling through most of the year but on the hottest days I need to only use 3 out of 4 zones. In my. In my view you should install 2 systems of that size with 4 zones on each.
I’m not a a/c tech but I do know the only way to know if the unit is suitable for your house is to understand the airflow required per room for your home and add the sum of all those together to get your total airflow litres per sec and then match that to the units spec to see if it’s adequately powered or not. That unit runs 1150 (l/s) so depending on your room sizes I reckon you are going to be ok but get the rep to calculate what airflow you need off your homes floor plan
