5 reasons why the TCL Elite Series is the perfect air con for South Africa

South Africa has never been a country with widespread air conditioning adoption. According to  one report, only six percent of South African homes have air conditioning. Compare that to 86 percent in Korea, 90 percent in the USA and 91 percent in Japan, and it’s clear that this isn’t particularly popular just yet. 

But that is changing. Every year the seasons in South Africa are more erratic with higher highs and lower lows, making the usually temperate country a harsher place to live in. 

If you are a South African thinking about making the jump into air conditioning, it can be an unfamiliar process given the country’s low adoption, but thankfully TCL has you covered with its high end Elite Series of air conditioning units. 

Today let’s look at what makes the Elite Series so great for our country.  

1. Both extremes sorted 

While South Africa is known for its higher temperatures and constant sun, the colder and darker months are growing even colder and darker. 

Thankfully the TCL Elite Series works equally well either warming or cooling your home, work, school classroom or any other location. 

Enjoy temperatures as low as 18°C or as high as 40°C. While these are two extremes, you can set your temperature anywhere in between to perfectly suit you.

2. Extreme speed to match extreme temperatures

Maybe it’s just us here in Joburg, but South Africans love when things happen fast. That 18°C temperature can be reached in just 30 seconds, and the high 40°C takes only 60 seconds. 

Even if you’re a more chilled out South African (we’re looking at you, Capetonians and Durbanites), this speed in heating or cooling shows off just how efficient these air cons are and how they make the most use of your electricity. Speaking of…

3. Smart power usage

When loadshedding was in full swing, South Africans faced a paradox: despite using less electricity than ever, the electricity bill was still high. Power isn’t cheap in South Africa and while loadshedding has made a hopefully permanent pause, the citizens of the country are still wary about what they’re paying for electricity. 

Thankfully the TCL Elite Series has Eco Mode to tackle this problem. Using a specialised and energy-optimised 26°C programme, the air con uses the minimal amount of power to maintain a very comfortable environment all year round. 

Eco Mode was made to protect the environment, but it will also protect you from high electricity bills without sacrificing the luxury of premium air conditioning. Eco Mode is also part of the Elite Series’ generally high efficiency that makes the most of every Watt of power. 

4. As smart as they come 

TCL has packed the Elite Series with a bevy of smart features to make it as clever as can be to best do its job. 

While you can control your air con with the included remote, you can also take over through Wi-Fi on your smart device joining many other TCL products in smart home integration. 

No matter how you control your air con, enjoy features such as 4-way airflow with 72 angles of coverage,  3D airflow which moves air not only up and down but also left and right, Sleep Mode for super quiet operation at night and even the special I Set and I Feel systems which remember your settings and carefully control the temperature respectively. 

These air cons are so smart that they can even communicate to you for certain important tasks, such as when to replace the filter and how to fix issues with an automated self-diagnosis system. 

5. Available now 

South Africans are used to many great products not being available locally with only those overseas able to enjoy top of the line products. 

That is not the case with the Elite Series as it is available right now at great prices thanks to TCL. For more info and where to buy the TCL Elite Series, as well as the rest of the TCL climate control family, visit https://www.tcl.com/southafrica/en
