How to Turn Your Home into an Entertainer’s Paradise

Want to turn your Brisbane home into an entertainer’s paradise? As the days start to get longer and warmer, now is the perfect time to prepare your house for weekend barbeques and Summer soirées.   There are plenty of simple electrical and lighting upgrades you can make to ensure your home is welcoming and comfortable for your guests. One of the best ways to do that is to dress up your outdoor space with mood lighting. Outdoor fans can make a big different when the temperature starts to soar while an epic sound system never goes astray. And finally, a home automation upgrade means you can impress your guests by being able to control all these items with the click of a button from any smart device, anywhere. Ready to transform your home into an oasis? Find out how Power Trip Services can help you today below or by calling (07) 3385 5833. Outdoor Lighting Ideas  Turn your Brisbane backyard into the place to be by adding: Feature lights to draw attention to certain plants or garden beds. LED Strip lighting on steps, courtyards or in pools. Warm festoon lighting strung up around the garden. These above ideas will offer some mood lighting and will give enough light without being too bright. Pool Lighting Brisbane A pool can be the focal point for many entertainers. The team at Power Trip Services recently finished a complete pool lighting upgrade in Burpengary. We added: Extra low voltage festoon lighting above pool, Colour changing pool light, LED strip lighting, and LED garden spikes. Outdoor Electrical Solutions While lighting works well to create an enjoyable environment, we can also help with other electrical solutions, such as outdoors fans and speaker systems. Impress your guests even more by adding a home automation system, so you can control all your devices from the comfort of your chair.  Read more about home automation and the My Place Installation process here.

6 Reasons You’ll Love Advantage MyAir Smart Air Conditioning

Power Trip Services is your go-to for smart air conditioning in Brisbane and across Moreton Bay. We are proud to be an official partner of Advantage Air, the leader in home automation in Australia. Our team of qualified and experienced electricians and air conditioning specialists love bringing our clients smart home dreams to life. Offering the latest technology and affordable solutions, MyAir seamlessly integrates with MyPlace so you can connect your air conditioning, lights, fans, garage door, sound system and more for maximum comfort and stress-free living. Here are 6 reasons you won’t regret having Advantage MyAir connected to your air conditioning: 1. MyAir is compatible with all major brands Whether you have an existing ducted system installed or you’re in the process of building, MyAir integrates with major air conditioning brands including: Daikin Fujitsu Panasonic Samsung Mitsubishi Been thinking of upgrading your ducted air conditioning? Check out our current specials here. 2. Dedicated tablet with stylish and intuitive user interface The 8-inch MyPlace colour touchscreen is an Android tablet and serves as your smart home control panel (10-inch option available). This single touch screen controls both the air conditioning unit and air management system eliminating the need for 2 separate panels. Plus, if you’ve got other smart home integrations with MyPlace, these also operate off the same tablet. 3. Control from any smartphone or tablet via MyAir app One of the biggest advantages of MyAir is that you’re not restricted the wall mounted tablet. Download the MyAir app and you can control your air conditioning form any smartphone or tablet device, wherever you are! Want to cool your home before you get home? You can thanks to the MyAir app. Got a forgetful family member who forgets to turn off the air conditioning before they leave? No problem, you can quickly and easily check – and turn off – air conditioning remotely. 4. Precision air flow for maximum comfort Advantage Air’s patented Exact Air Regulator (EAR) controls how much air each room will get. This is one of MyAir’s secret weapons for striking the balance between energy savings and achieving your preferred temperature. Using technology normally found in commercial high-rise buildings, you can adjust the airflow in each room by as little as 5%. 5. Energy Saving Motion Sensors Another clever energy saving feature of MyAir is the option to have motion sensors installed in one or several rooms. If a room is empty for 10 minutes the target temperature will be adjusted (increased or decreased) by 1 degree. If there’s no motion detected for another 10 minutes it will adjusts the temperature by another 1 degree. While these are only small adjustments, it’s enough to reduce a room’s energy usage by a whopping 20% which is helpful to your hip pocket. This one’s an optional extra so just let us know if you’d like it included in your quote. 6. Individually control the temperature of each room – for comfort and energy savings One of our favourite features is the ability to control temperature and airflow for up to 10 zones – very handy for Queensland’s hot summers! Temperature of rooms can vary greatly throughout the day depending on the orientation of the house and season. But if you install an Individual Temperature Control (ITC) sensor – the system can automatically adjust the air flow to each room to maintain the desired temperature for that space. Example: Let’s imagine you’re running your air conditioning in the peak of summer. You’ve got a 1 year old who still has an afternoon nap, but their room is on the western side of house which cops the harsh afternoon sun. By installing an ITC sensor in this room/zone you can be confident that the room temperature will be maintained as the system will adjust the airflow without you having to constantly check. Expert tip: ITC sensors are super helpful for rooms that heat up faster than the rest of the house. And they can be installed in as many rooms at time or installation (or later!) Advantage MyAir – Smart Home Air Conditioning Smart air conditioning is a gamechanger and Power Trip Services has the knowledge and expertise to help you transform your home into a smart one.
