Features

All star performer
Serene Series 2 is one of Actron Air’s most energy efficient air conditioners yet, with our 2.65kW model reaching the highly sought after 7 star energy rating*.
*7 star energy rating applies to WRC-026DS / WRE-026DS combination. Rated under new climate zone SEER rating.

More cooling in extreme heat
With a market-leading operating range of up to 60°c, Serene is guaranteed to keep working in hotter temperatures. Not only that, Serene is also able to maintain far better capacity in extreme heat than comparable systems, which provides you with more cooling comfort right when you need it most.

R32 for efficient energy performance
Serene uses R32 refrigerant – a gas that offers a low Global Warming Potential – reducing its impact on our environment.

AC vs DC for rockin’ efficiency and performance
Serene uses more energy efficient Direct Current (DC) inverter technology in its inverter compressor, indoor fan and outdoor fan. While some competitors use less efficient AC technology, or combinations of both, we choose DC technology as it can make a huge difference to your electricity bill. With an impressive 25 frequency stages, our DC inverter compressor is up to 35% more efficient than AC technology, while Serene’s DC outdoor fan with five speed settings is up to 40% more efficient. The result is improved efficiencies overall, as well as optimal cooling performance at high and low ambient temperatures, and quieter operation on part load.

Q&A

Q: What is the Actron Air WRE-085DS split system air conditioner?
A: The Actron Air WRE-085DS is an 8kW Serene Series 2 wall-mounted split system air conditioner designed for efficient cooling and heating in large single rooms, living areas, or apartments.

Q: What size area is it suitable for?
A: With an 8kW cooling capacity, it is typically suited for large living rooms, open-plan areas, or multi-use family spaces, depending on insulation and climate conditions.

Q: Is it suitable for both heating and cooling?
A: Yes, it is a reverse-cycle system, meaning it provides cooling in summer and heating in winter from the same unit.

Q: Is the Actron Serene Series 2 energy efficient?
A: Yes, it uses DC inverter technology and R32 refrigerant, which improves efficiency and reduces energy consumption compared to older fixed-speed systems.

Q: Can it operate in extreme weather conditions?
A: Yes, the Serene Series 2 is designed to operate in a wide temperature range (approximately -25°C to 50°C depending on configuration), making it suitable for harsh climates.

Q: Is it suitable for residential use?
A: Yes, it is built for home use, especially in living spaces that require strong, consistent airflow and year-round comfort.

Q: Why choose a split system like this instead of ducted air conditioning?
A: A split system like the WRE-085DS is more affordable to install, easier to control per room, and energy-efficient for single-zone cooling/heating needs, especially in apartments or individual spaces.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean filters every 2–4 weeks: Wash or vacuum indoor filters to maintain airflow, efficiency, and air quality.
• Keep outdoor unit clear: Remove dust, leaves, and debris to ensure proper heat exchange and avoid compressor strain.
• Inspect drainage line: Check condensate drain for blockages to prevent water leaks indoors.
• Check airflow settings: Ensure louvers move freely and aren’t obstructed for even cooling/heating distribution.
• Run self-clean mode regularly: Helps reduce internal moisture and improve hygiene of the indoor coil.
• Monitor for unusual noise/vibration: Early sign of fan, compressor, or mounting issues.
• Maintain clear space around units: Improves efficiency and prevents overheating or airflow restriction.
• Annual professional service: Have a licensed HVAC technician inspect refrigerant, electricals, and system performance (required for R32 systems).
