 AI reviews summary 

Advantage Air receives high praise for its technical support and on-site service, with many users highlighting the professionalism and patience of specific staff members. While the service team is a significant strength, there are critical recurring complaints regarding the longevity of the control tablets and the high cost of repairs once systems fall out of warranty.

Pros
Exceptional Technical Support: Users frequently report that phone and email support is fast, with technicians often calling back within minutes to provide clear, step-by-step guidance.
Professional On-site Service: Technicians are consistently described as punctual, knowledgeable, and polite, often going beyond basic repairs to provide comprehensive system tutorials and efficiency tips.
Effective Remote Troubleshooting: The support team successfully resolves many software and connectivity issues remotely, saving users the time and cost of a physical call-out.
Comprehensive Handover Service: New users value the "White Glove" handover, where staff explain complex features, customise zones, and set up smart home integrations like cameras and garage doors.
Cons
Tablet Longevity and Costs: A significant number of users report that the wall-mounted tablets fail shortly after the warranty period, leading to expensive replacement quotes of $1,500 or more.
Compatibility and "Planned Obsolescence": Several reviewers express frustration that newer tablets are incompatible with older dampers and motors, forcing customers to pay for a full system overhaul rather than a simple part replacement.
Persistent Connectivity Issues: Multiple users experience ongoing difficulty linking smartphones to the system or maintaining a stable Wi-Fi connection, rendering remote operation unreliable.
MyLights Performance: While air conditioning feedback is generally positive, the lighting system received specific complaints regarding flickering bulbs and poor installation quality.
Verdict

Advantage Air is an excellent choice for those who prioritse high-quality, local customer service and expert technical guidance. However, potential buyers should be wary of the potential for high long-term maintenance costs and tablet hardware failures once the warranty expires.

Completely useless paperweight of a system once the cheap and nasty Android wall tablet dies. A Google Play software update on the Android wall controller supplied by AdvantageAir rendered our entire 3 x Daikin ducted systems inoperative and the only option to reinstate is a complete new MyAir system (including new wall sensors and all cabling)… Read more

at a cost of $4k to repair. After spending such an incredible amount of money on these systems, I find this completely unacceptable. Buyer beware.

We got our old controller replaced with the MyPlaceIQ directly controlled from the app on our mobile phones and it is fantastic. Now I can turn on or off the aircon from anywhere so it is nice and cold/warm when I get home. It also allows for several programs to run automatically. The team did a great job in the installation and the support… Read more ·  1

afterwards particularly Dan the technician was fantastic in troubleshooting and went out of his way to get it working smoothly. Highly recommend these guys for your aircon system!

Following a recent power outage, I was unable to operate my Advantage Air Mobile Phone App, I could only do that from my wall mounted 8” Android Wall Touch Screen Tablet. I contacted E l w y n at Advantage Air Tech Support as I had done so previously, requesting for help. Elwyn organized with Josh from Tech Support to contact me, which he did… Read more ·  1

without delay. I explained to J o s h that I wasn’t tech savvy, so he had to be patient with me as I went through the process with him of reconnecting my internet router to the system. I was very impressed with Josh as he took the time to slowly walk me through the entire process of reconnecting and restarting my system. He stayed on the phone until I told him that all systems were go, and I could operate my mobile app from my bed, following my recent surgery. We are very pleased with the Advantage Air/My Place system, as I use it mainly for my air-conditioning and security systems which can be operated from the wall mounted unit or our mobile phones, even when we are overseas. We highly recommend the products and the Fantastic After Sales Service/Tech Support that we have received from E l w y n and J o s h.

Awesome handover and explanation on how to use the system! Had Dan the tech from advantage air do a handover and brief on how to use the set up. He explained the overall the working of the ac as well as all the features of the app and answered any extra questions me or my wife had. So big up to Dan and the team for taking the time to get me set up!

Service with a smile – Ashley attended my home today (with a prior phone call to check if it was ok he arrived earlier than the scheduled appointment). He was polite & super helpful in replacing a fuse box. My lights are working again - happy days! He was also helpful in explaining how some app features worked. Timely & efficient service. Thank you Show reply

 Follow-up  · The part was under warranty therefore no cost. The technician replaced the faulty fuse within 30-40 minutes. He then showed me how to relabel lights that had reappeared after the faulty fuse was replaced. He also answered any questions I may have had regarding the app.

I bought an ex display home in April 2019 in Brisbane. It's shocking that I've just been told my Panasonic outdoor AC unit & unit in the roof are fine, it's the Advantage Air control tablet that is at fault - AA1 error. The part that is needed… Read more

cannot be supplied. AC technician told me is planned obsolescence by Advantage Air to force people into paying $4,000 to $5,000 for a completely new system. I'm NEVER, EVER going near crappy Advantage Air again. I'm now a pensioner & disabled so finances are scare. No AC is the Qld heat is a real [Content Removed].

 Follow-up  · My Advantage Air system was 6 - 6.5 years old. I was told by AC Brisbane that they couldn't get the parts & if I wanted to update the Advantage Air panel it would cost me between $4 - $5 K - what a rip off!! I ended up getting rid of Advantage Air entirely, replacing it with a Panasonic controller plus Air Touch panel. This has a 5 year warranty.

I had a wonderful experience with CJ from MyPlace today.

We recently had a faulty zone controller on our ducted air conditioning system. Advantage Air contacted us and said that a Technician would be arriving the next day. On the day, CJ (Technician) rang to say he was 20 minutes away, CJ arrived as scheduled and checked the system. CJ replaced the faulty motor, he explained what he had done and was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and polite. Couldn't ask for better service. Show reply

We have the whole My Place system Air, Lights, Garage. The air and garage are great but the My Lights system is terrible. when we have the lights dimmed they flash and full brightness intermittently. Spoken to My Place a number of times and they call it the box protecting it self from a power surge. We paid a lot of money to have the whole house… Read more

controlled and its been a complete waste of money. When they installed the light modules they damaged our plaster board and sent electricians that had not done house setups before.

I have same issues like others on tablets stops working and now I have been asked to update the dampers if I want to upgrade the tablet and my motion sensor will not work either. any reason why this people shouldn't be reported under consumer protection ?

I thought it was an intuitive system until the tablet stopped working. Good luck to those who choose this system as the tablet cost thousands to replace. The app itself is locked to a few tablets so you can't just use any tablets to control the ducted system or any myplace devices. In addition, you will need a special port to control it. Tablet… Read more

itself is slow. Constant powering cause it to degrade quicker. Better off with a manual control system that doesnt need replacement.

There was once they updated the API and all my lights stopped working. Called up and because I am still in the warranty period, they have replaced the relays for free. However when I asked if this will be done for free in the future if the same thing happened, they told me I have to pay $300 per relay to replace it.

So you are pretty much at the mercy of this company. If they upgrade anything, and even it's not your fault, you will have to pay for the upgrade which you dont even need just for wifi control.

Not impressed at all. Builders should stop using this for new builds. What a waste of money.

For me, I have removed the tablet and rewired everything. The cost is less than the tablet.

A cr^p system, littered with failures and a failing team and breakdowns – This is the 10th fault issue, not sure where the 5 start is coming from. (even read all the 5-star reviews, all to do with calling regarding an issue with the unit, and with as fixed under the best circumstances for the time being) One tablet replacement within 6 months.… Read more

One week's wait between callouts means you will have no heating or cooling for this time. The actual Tablet unit looks like, feels, and operates like a $20 Chinese dummy unit. can't be used for anything at all SLOW AS A Snail.

Very inconvenient, very unhappy with this poor quality device and SYSTEM. ADVANTAGE FAILER should have been called. FAIL PILOT

My Air / My Place: Every time a unit fails, nothing can be used. Imagine the garage door is left open remotely, and the unit fails!!

The latest screw up is no home temp reading, Literally 28-10-2025, ongoing 4 weeks now. It Support. Instead of fixing the issues, they will try to sell you a new unit. That is not compatible with all your current extras that they have sold you with the first unit, so then they will sell you all the extra replacements. GARBAGE AIR.

Trash system and team. no feedback, no updates, and no follow-up. Having trouble with the temperature reading being different from the main home temp, and then remotely accessing. Been waiting 6 weeks to get resolved. Been very poor indeed. Useless bull promises. Wait till everyone starts complaining.
