“I thought it appropriate that I provide feedback on the recent installation of the Actron ESP Plus SRD160C / SRV160E ducted air conditioning system. As you know, we chose Crest Air Conditioning over other quotations due to your professional approach to the quotation process. You were the only sales person to measure every room and calculate the heat load, and your product knowledge was excellent. As you are aware, we paid a premium to have Crest install the system due to the professionalism of the company and our belief that Crest can provide superior backup service in the long term.

Your installation crew turned up precisely on time on the day of the installation. They were friendly and professional and worked as a team all day with the installation completed on time with no complications. Please pass my congratulations onto the crew as they were a pleasure to deal with.

The Actron ESP Plus SRD160C / SRV160E ducted air conditioning system has surpassed my expectations. In my web based research, there were complaints about the outside unit which have turned out to be completely wrong. The outside unit produces at least half or less noise of the previous 20 year old unit that it replaced. The greatest thing I like about the system is the lack of inside noise, in our old ducted system especially when the system was first turned on, the inside fan noise was intense. The only way to reduce the noise to an acceptable level was to turn all the zones on which meant heating or cooling the whole house, resulting in highly expensive electricity costs. In total contrast, the Actron system is almost silent inside, even with one room turned on; the variable inside fan speed works exceptionally well. My only concern is forgetting the system is turned on when I leave the house as it is so quiet.

Congratulations on a job well done, it’s good to see an Australian company like Actron completely outclassing the overseas competition and being professionally supported by Crest Air Conditioning”
