Standard wall controllers are highly reliable and perfectly fine if you just want to set a temperature and forget it. However, if you want total control over your home’s comfort and efficiency, upgrading to a smart system like MyAir or MyPlace by Advantage Air is absolutely worth the investment. Recent studies suggesting up to 20% savings, and potential reductions of up to 46% when fully utilising smart features.
Smart systems allow you to control your ducted air conditioning from your smartphone, meaning you can turn the AC on before you leave work. More importantly, systems like MyAir give you exact temperature control and airflow adjustment for every single room individually, eliminating hot and cold spots and ensuring you never waste money conditioning an empty room.

A multi-head split system operates multiple indoor air conditioning units connected to a single outdoor compressor. This is an excellent solution for homes, townhouses, or apartments where outdoor space is strictly limited, or where body corporate rules prevent the installation of multiple outdoor units.
With a multi-head system, you can independently control the temperature in different rooms (like three separate bedrooms) without cluttering your exterior walls or garden with multiple bulky outdoor condenser units.

Choosing the right kilowatt (kW) capacity for your air conditioner is the most critical part of an installation, and it involves much more than just measuring floor space. If a unit is too small, it will overwork, burn out prematurely, and drive up your power bill. If it is too large, it will constantly cycle on and off, failing to properly dehumidify the room and wasting energy.
To calculate the exact size you need, an Ample Air technician must assess your home’s specific heat load. We look at your ceiling height, the size and direction of your windows, your roof insulation, and the local climate. This is why we insist on a free site visit to ensure you get a system perfectly tailored to your home.

Historically, gas heating was the standard for Australian winters. However, with massive advancements in technology, modern reverse cycle electric air conditioning is now significantly cheaper to run and much more energy-efficient than gas heating.
Reverse cycle systems extract ambient heat from the outside air (even on freezing Blue Mountains mornings) and pump it inside, meaning they produce more heat energy than the electrical energy they consume. When paired with a home solar system, running a reverse cycle air conditioner during the day can cost almost nothing. Plus, you get the added benefit of cooling during the summer months from the exact same unit.

The right choice depends entirely on your lifestyle and budget. High-wall split systems are highly cost-effective and perfect for climate-controlling individual spaces, like a master bedroom or a main living area. They are relatively quick to install and allow you to only cool or heat the rooms you are actively using.
Ducted air conditioning is the ultimate solution for whole-home comfort. The main unit is hidden in your roof space or outside, with only sleek vents visible in your ceiling. Ducted systems allow for “zoning,” meaning you can push air to the living rooms during the day and switch it to the bedrooms at night. If you want seamless, quiet temperature control throughout your entire house, ducted is the way to go.
