Turning your home into an oasis with MyAir & MyPlace

As human beings, we’ve always had deeply personal and intimate relationships with our homes. After all, a home is an oasis from the chaos and bustle of the real world. We seek to make our homes as comfortable and personal as possible. From early cave paintings to today’s modern technology, the way we live and the way we interact with our home has evolved significantly over the years.

 

We already know how much convenience and efficiency have been brought to our lives by smartphones – and smart homes are the next logical step. What we want is to make our lives more comfortable, more convenient, more glamorous and yet simpler.
There are a number of things that can be changed or tweaked in a home to make you feel more comfortable. We say, “start with temperature control”. Research has found that weather’s daily influence has more of an impact on a person’s negative mood, rather than helping one’s positive mood. Higher temperatures were associated with an increase in a person’s negative feelings, feelings such as being more irritable, distressed, or jittery. We know that being able to control the temperature in your home, will certainly leave you feeling more comfortable and positive.

Smart Home Solutions – Make the right choice

During the past 30 years of manufacturing Air distribution products, we have certainly taken the time to understand what makes people comfortable. Together with a team of R&D engineers, we set out to create a Smart Home Solution that would make people’s lives better.

MyAir is our signature air management solution that allows you to control up to 10 zones individually from the wall mounted hub or the mobile app. You can control the system from the couch, from work or from the other side of the world. The system can be scheduled to start and stop whenever you want. And if you really want to talk “Smart Features”, MyAir can monitor the temperature in your suburb and run tasks according to your needs. Like switching on your aircon if the temperature increases in your area.

We have tried to consider every possibility when it comes to controlling the temperature in your home. We have found many reasons for having multiple air-conditioning units. Perhaps you live in a 2-storey home or a large home with small roof spaces? Maybe you’re on a smaller block and want to avoid noise pollution? With MyAir, you can control up to 4 ducted air-conditioning units from your system. It doesn’t matter if the units are all different makes – MyAir is compatible with all the leading brands.

Sweltering summers and freezing winters happen throughout South Africa. Enjoying a cool house in the heat of the day or waking up in a warm room on a mid-winter morning, are some of life’s great pleasures.

Energy Efficiency- Ducted Vs Split

An average home with 4 bedrooms, kitchen, lounge and dining room will need approximately 6 split aircon units to cool the home efficiently. This means 6 condenser units outside your home, 6 maintenance costs per year and with this many outdoor units, things can start looking a bit unsightly.

The average running cost per year of a 12000BTU unit is around R4717.44. To run 6 Split units could cost you about R28304.64 over a 12 month period.
(Based on a 12000btu unit, 7.5Amps, 240V, electricity cost of 1.82kWh, 6 hours per day & 20 days per month)

By using a ducted system, you have a single condenser unit to maintain. Noise levels are kept to a minimum as compared to running 6 machines. Most of all, a ducted system using MyAir could save you approximately 40% of your energy consumption.
