Smart AC

Cool the room you're in. Not the empty ones.

What this actually does

The average Dubai household spends AED 800+ monthly on cooling. Whether you're in a Dubai Marina apartment or an Arabian Ranches villa, smart AC pays for itself within 3 months of DEWA savings — and you never come home to a hot house again.

Control From Anywhere

Turn the AC on from the office to arrive at a cool home. Turn it off from the airport after realizing it was left on.

Smart Scheduling

AC that follows a daily routine. Cooling kicks in before wake-up, reduces at departure, and adjusts automatically throughout the day.

Zone Control

Control each AC unit independently. Keep bedrooms comfortable while reducing cooling in unused spaces.

Usage Tracking

See exactly how much is being spent on cooling. Identify waste, optimize schedules, and track savings over time.

A RECENT PROJECT

3-bed apartment, Dubai Marina · 1,400 sqft

Smart AC controllers in 3 zones. Pre-cool kicks in 30 min before the owner arrives home. Schedules adjust for weekday vs weekend automatically.

AED 9,400. Done in one day. Average DEWA bill dropped from AED 1,100 to AED 740 in summer.

“I used to come home to a hot apartment three nights a week because I'd forgotten to turn the AC on from work. Now it just knows. My DEWA bill dropped 30% in the first month.”

Frequently asked questions

Will this work with my AC?+

If your AC has a remote control (most split units do), yes. We support virtually all residential AC brands used in the UAE.

What's the difference between wireless and integrated options?+

Wireless controllers are plug-and-play, work with existing split ACs, and can be moved. Integrated solutions involve hardwired thermostats and central AC system integration for deeper control.

Will this really save me money?+

Yes. The average client sees 20-30% reduction in cooling costs. Exact savings depend on current habits - frequently forgetting to turn off AC or running it in empty rooms means even greater savings.

How long does installation take?+

Wireless controllers take about 15 minutes per unit — no electrician needed. Integrated thermostat installations typically take half a day for a standard apartment.

Can I control it when I'm outside the UAE?+

Yes. The app works from anywhere with an internet connection. Many clients turn on the AC from the airport so they arrive to a cool home.

Is this renter-friendly?+

The wireless option is completely renter-friendly. No drilling, no wiring, no modifications to the property. Take it with you when you move.
