Actron Air Conditioning

G'day! When you're bracing for another scorching Aussie summer, you want an air conditioner that's not just going to survive, but thrive when the heat is really on. While many international brands are great, there’s a lot of pride and trust in a system that's been designed and built right here, for our unique and often brutal conditions.

That's where Actron Air conditioning comes in. As one of Australia's most trusted, homegrown success stories, they've built a massive reputation for making air conditioners that are tough, reliable, and perfectly suited to our climate.

What's the Go with Actron Air Conditioning?

Actron Air is a proudly Australian-owned and operated company that has been designing and building air conditioners specifically for our climate for over 30 years. They're not just assembled here; they are engineered from the ground up to handle the demands of a 45-degree day in the suburbs or the humidity of the tropical north.

This local focus has made them a fair dinkum favourite for Aussies who want a robust system that won't let them down when they need it most.

The Actron Difference: Engineered for Our Climate

So, what makes an Actron Air conditioning system stand out from the crowd?

Proudly Australian Made and Owned

This is a big one for many Aussies. Choosing Actron means you're supporting local jobs, design, and manufacturing. It also means you have access to excellent local, on-the-ground support and a company that truly understands the needs of Australian families.

Built Tough to Handle Extreme Heat

This is Actron's real claim to fame. Their systems are renowned for their operating range. They are engineered to keep performing at their peak, even when it's over 40 or even 50 degrees outside. While some other brands can start to struggle and lose efficiency in extreme heat, Actron units are designed to keep pumping out that glorious cold air.

A Leader in Ducted Systems and Zoning

While Actron produces a great range of reliable split systems, they are particularly famous for their top-notch ducted systems. They are considered industry leaders in this area, offering some of the most advanced and energy-efficient zoning technology on the market. This allows you to have a central ducted system with the ability to control the temperature in individual rooms, saving a motza on your power bill.

A Professional System Needs a Professional Installation

An Actron Air conditioning system, whether it's a split or a full ducted setup, is a high-power appliance that must be installed by a team of qualified professionals. This is not a DIY job.

By law in Australia, the installation requires two different licensed professionals:

  1. A licensed air conditioning technician (who holds an ARCtick licence) to handle the refrigerant gases and system commissioning.
  2. A licensed electrician to run the dedicated high-voltage power circuits and ensure the system is safely connected.

A premium, Aussie-built air conditioner deserves a high-quality electrical installation to match. This is why professional installers and licensed electricians only use trade-quality components from trusted suppliers for every installation. Schnap Electric Products is a leading Australian supplier of all the critical electrical components needed to power a high-performance air conditioning system. From the heavy-duty circuit breakers and safety switches for your switchboard to the robust, weatherproof isolators for the outdoor unit, they provide the compliant, reliable gear a qualified professional needs for a safe and durable installation. To get the best out of your Aussie-made air con, you need a powerful electrical foundation built with quality components from a supplier like Schnap Electric.
