Move beyond generic plastic thermostats. Polar Bear control plates are crafted from premium materials and can be custom-engraved with clear, intuitive labels for each function. A single, sleek keypad can replace multiple thermostats and switches, providing control over temperature, fan speed, and system modes for different zones. Available in a range of finishes to match other switch plates in your home, they provide a cohesive, sophisticated, and decluttered look for your walls.
I Media will work with you or your interior designer to specify the perfect custom keypads, ensuring the controls for your home's climate are as beautiful as they are functional.
Modern, well-insulated homes can trap pollutants and humidity. A Polar Bear system can intelligently manage your MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery) system to ensure a constant supply of fresh, filtered air. The system can monitor CO2 and humidity levels, automatically boosting ventilation when needed—such as when you have guests or after a shower—to maintain a healthy and comfortable indoor environment. This proactive air quality management is a cornerstone of a modern luxury home.
Our technicians can program your Polar Bear system to automate your home's ventilation, creating a healthier living space for you and your family without you having to touch a thing.
Polar Bear excels at managing sophisticated HVAC setups. It can seamlessly control multi-zone underfloor heating, trench heaters, and air conditioning systems from the same keypad. The system ensures these different components work in harmony rather than fighting against each other, providing precise temperature control and maximising energy efficiency. Whether you need to warm the floor on a cool morning or activate cooling on a hot afternoon, a simple button press is all it takes.
I Media's expertise in HVAC integration ensures your Polar Bear system is programmed to manage your entire climate system efficiently and effectively, delivering perfect comfort all year round.
A Polar Bear system is designed to be part of a fully integrated smart home. It communicates flawlessly with control platforms like Control4 and Crestron, allowing your climate control to be part of wider home automation scenes. For example, an "Away" button could set back your heating, turn off all lights, and arm the security system. When integrated, temperature status and controls can also appear on your main smart home touch screens, providing unified control from any interface.
As smart home integration specialists, I Media will expertly link your Polar Bear system with your central controller, creating a truly intelligent and responsive home.

HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. In high-end properties, these are often complex, centralised systems. A specialised controller like Polar Bear is needed to ensure all these components work together efficiently, providing seamless control over the entire indoor environment from a simple user interface.
While Polar Bear keypads are primarily for HVAC control, when integrated into a smart home system like Control4, their buttons can be programmed to control almost anything, including lighting, blinds, or music, providing a truly unified smart home keypad.
MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery) is a system that extracts stale, moist air from a building and replaces it with fresh, filtered outside air. In the process, it recovers heat from the outgoing air to warm the incoming air, improving energy efficiency. It is vital for maintaining good air quality in modern, airtight homes.
While smart thermostats are excellent for controlling heating, Polar Bear is a comprehensive HVAC control solution. It is designed to manage complex systems with multiple elements (heating, cooling, ventilation) and is built around elegant, hard-wired keypads and deep integration with professional smart home systems.
Polar Bear is a powerful and sophisticated control solution, not a DIY product. Expert programming from I Media is crucial to correctly configure the HVAC logic, integrate it with the smart home platform, and customise the keypads to your exact needs. This ensures the system is reliable, efficient, and simple for you to use.
Our process starts with a thorough analysis of your home's specific HVAC plant and your desired outcomes. We design a control solution and specify the custom keypads to match your interior. Our expert programmers then bring it all to life, creating a seamless, intuitive, and powerful climate control experience.
