Hi all,
I’m planning to upgrade the heating and cooling systems in my home, and I’d like to make sure I invest in something energy-efficient and smart-home compatible. We’re in a fairly warm climate (South East Queensland), so having an effective air conditioning system is essential—but I also want something that won’t drive up our power bill.
I’m particularly interested in options that work well with solar power setups and possibly allow for smart zoning or scheduling (like Airtouch or myAir systems). Has anyone here installed something similar? What brands or features would you recommend? Are there any hidden costs or maintenance issues to be aware of?
Also, if anyone has experience with local professionals who are good with this kind of work, I’d love a recommendation. I came across a company—DGB Refrigeration & Air Conditioning—that seems to specialise in energy-efficient and smart AC installations. You can check out their services here, in case it's helpful to anyone else researching the same.
Looking forward to hearing your experiences and tips!
