Summertime on the Mid North Coast is getting hotter, with recent years bringing more stretches of consecutive days above 35°C. As the heat ramps up, homeowners and businesses are turning to smarter cooling solutions.
Here’s how modern air-conditioning technology can keep you comfortable and slash your energy bills at the same time this summer.
Why Smart AC Matters in the Mid North Coast
As a subtropical region, the Mid North Coast experiences high humidity throughout summer. These conditions force older air-conditioning systems to work overtime just to keep residents, workers and holidaymakers comfortable.
Newer technology, however, has blown in a fresh breeze of efficiency with smart controls, zoning options and inverter systems that optimise energy use.
Key Smart Features That Reduce Energy Use
Modern air-conditioning systems are now equipped with smart features designed to keep you cool without burning through electricity. Here’s how each one helps you stay comfortable during a Mid North Coast summer:
- WiFi controls: Control your system from your phone and set cooling schedules that match your daily routine. This prevents overrunning and ensures you only use energy when you actually need it.
- Zoning: This feature lets you cool specific areas rather than the whole home or business. It’s an easy way to cut energy use, especially if you spend most of your time in just a few rooms.
- Inverter technology: These compressors adjust their output smoothly instead of constantly turning on and off. This steady operation reduces energy waste and maintains a more consistent temperature.
- Smart thermostats: These devices automatically respond to occupancy, humidity and outdoor temperatures. The system adjusts itself in real time, delivering the right amount of cooling without unnecessary power use.
Two Essentials for Peak Performance
While choosing an air-conditioning system with smarter features is a game-changer, there are two other crucial factors to consider and that’s correct sizing and regular servicing.
Choosing the perfect-sized split or ducted system ensures your home cools efficiently without the energy drain of units that are either too large or too small. Once installed, routine servicing keeps everything running at its best. Clean coils, strong airflow and optimised components all contribute to lower energy use, making it one of the most important tasks on your pre-summer checklist.
