The Air Conditioning Podcast

Howdy folks and welcome to Episode 26 of The Air Conditioning Podcast. This week, we sat down with Darren Hill (Business Development Executive) and George Parashis (Sales Account Executive) of Actron Air.

Actron Air have been a household name in Australia when it comes to climate control in your home for many years and Darren and George helped us to understand a bit more about their product and their business.

Here’s a sneaky peak of what we covered…..

> Where and how did Actron start? (2:30)

> How long have you both been working with Actron and where have you worked previously? (5:00)

> Having worked with other Manufacturer’s we tend to become very passionate about the brands and advocates of their products, how did you go shifting your mindset from one brand to another? (8:50)

> You mentioned being able to wind down the fan on your variable fan indoor ducted units so you can operate a single zone, does this apply to a specific control system? And does the compressor wind back as well? (10:15)

> With the Inverter Technology that you’ve now adopted, can you see that you will be moving in that direction or are sticking with digital scroll compressors? (13:30)

> Actron ducted outdoor units have traditionally been top discharge units, are you looking to introduce side discharge? (16:15)

> Within your range, what unit capacities do you go up to? (17:40)

> Can you tell us more about your Package units? (19:30)

> Where is the technology developed? Is it here in South Australia or interstate? (22:15)

> Actron seem to be doing great things with their wall controllers, do you think this is because you’re an Australian company that you are catering for what appeals to the Australian market? When compared to other international manufacturer’s they don’t seem to place as much emphasis on their controllers because it appears that they are not of great importance, would you agree? (26:00)

> Can you control your zoning through the wall controller? (30:10)

And much more.
