*Published COP figures are under stated test conditions and should not be treated as guaranteed year-round household performance. Household sizing is also a starting point only.

PRO 220L

Emerald Energy PRO 220L E-Heater

The Emerald All-In-One PRO 220L is the smallest current model in the range.

It can suit smaller family homes, townhouses, secondary dwellings and households wanting a compact heat-pump upgrade from conventional electric storage.

Current Installed Today sizing positions the 220L around four occupants as a general starting point.

PRO 270L

Emerald Energy PRO 270L E-Heater

The 270L is the middle and most broadly family-sized model within the current Emerald PRO range.

It provides more stored capacity than the 220L while remaining smaller than the 320L model.

It can suit family homes, townhouses and rental properties with moderate to stronger everyday hot-water demand.

PRO 320L

Emerald Energy PRO 320L E-Heater

The 320L is the largest model in the current Emerald All-In-One PRO range.

It is designed for larger households and homes where additional stored hot-water capacity is needed.

Its greater physical height means access and available installation space should be checked before automatically upsizing from the 270L.

R290 HEAT PUMP

Emerald PRO Uses R290 Refrigerant

All three current Emerald PRO systems use R290 refrigerant within the sealed heat-pump refrigeration circuit.

R290 is widely used in newer heat-pump technology due to its favourable thermodynamic characteristics and low global-warming potential compared with many older refrigerants.

Refrigerant type is only one factor in choosing a heat pump. Capacity, recovery, controls, noise, installation position and household demand remain equally important.

DC INVERTER

DC Inverter Compressor Technology

The Emerald All-In-One PRO range uses DC inverter compressor and fan technology.

Inverter control allows the system to manage compressor operation rather than relying on one fixed output under every condition.

Real-world efficiency still depends on ambient temperature, incoming water temperature, system settings, household use and installation conditions.

OPERATING MODES

Standard, Silent, Booster & E-Heater Modes

Standard

Normal heat-pump operation designed to balance recovery and efficiency.

Silent

Reduces operating output and sound level where quieter operation is preferred.

Booster

Uses additional heating support for faster recovery during higher demand.

E-Heater

Uses the built-in electric heating element as a dedicated heating mode where required.

Smart Control

Selected operating functions can be managed through the Emerald App.

Choose by Need

Faster recovery modes can use more electricity than normal heat-pump operation.

BUILT-IN E-HEATER

1.6kW Electric Heating Element

Current Emerald PRO E-Heater models include a built-in 1.6kW electric heating element.

This provides additional recovery support during Booster operation, periods of greater household demand or conditions where extra heating assistance is required.

The presence of an electric element does not mean the heat pump operates as direct electric resistance heating all the time.

RECOVERY

Emerald PRO Recharge Rates

Current Emerald product data lists approximately 58L/hour in Standard mode across the current PRO E-Heater range under stated test conditions.

Silent mode reduces recovery to around 41L/hour, while Booster mode can increase listed recovery to approximately 108L/hour.

This illustrates the trade-off between lower-noise operation and faster recovery.

QUIET OPERATION

Emerald PRO Standard vs Silent Mode Noise

Current Emerald PRO specifications list approximately 49dB(A) at 1 metre in Standard mode.

Silent mode reduces the listed sound level to approximately 45dB(A) at 1 metre.

Silent mode also reduces heating output and recovery, so it should be selected with household hot-water demand in mind.

Noise figures should only be directly compared with other heat pumps when measurement distance and test conditions are equivalent.

WI-FI & EMERALD APP

Smart Wi-Fi Control with the Emerald App

The current Emerald PRO range includes built-in Wi-Fi connectivity and Emerald App compatibility.

Current app functions can include:

  • Remote on/off control
  • Tank temperature visibility
  • Tank capacity visibility
  • Boost control
  • Silent mode control
  • Energy-use information
  • Smart actions
  • Automation options
SOLAR PV

Emerald Energy Heat Pumps with Rooftop Solar

Smart controls can help households schedule heat-pump operation toward periods of stronger daytime rooftop-solar generation.

Because the system stores hot water for later use, water can be heated during the day even when most household showers occur in the morning or evening.

Solar scheduling does not guarantee every heating cycle will use only surplus solar electricity.

ENAMEL TANK

Enamel-Lined Tank with Dual Magnesium Anodes

Current Emerald PRO models use an enamel-lined inner storage tank.

Tank protection includes dual magnesium anodes.

Tank construction should be considered together with water quality, servicing requirements, warranty conditions and long-term maintenance.

220L VS 270L

When Should You Choose Emerald 270L Instead of 220L?

The 270L is worth comparing where the household has greater peak demand, more occupants or more back-to-back shower use than the 220L is intended to support.

Moving from 220L to 270L provides additional stored-water reserve without moving to the physically taller 320L model.

If household demand is genuinely modest, the extra capacity may not be necessary.

270L VS 320L

When Should You Choose Emerald 320L Instead of 270L?

The 320L is better aligned with larger households and properties where peak hot-water use regularly tests a standard family-size system.

Compare the 320L where several occupants shower close together, multiple bathrooms are in regular use or the household simply needs more stored capacity.

The 320L is considerably taller, so confirm physical installation space before upsizing.

PHYSICAL SIZE

Emerald PRO Dimensions Increase with Tank Capacity

Model Approx. Footprint Approx. Height Approx. Net Weight
220L 600 × 600mm 1598mm 118kg
270L 600 × 600mm 1826mm 132kg
320L 600 × 600mm 2105mm 146kg

Dimensions and weights should be confirmed against the current exact product specification before installation.

ACCESS

Check Height, Weight and Delivery Access

Emerald PRO heat pumps are substantially heavier and taller than many compact conventional electric-storage systems.

Narrow side access, stairs, retaining walls, raised platforms and restricted delivery paths can materially affect installation.

The larger 320L system in particular requires more than two metres of vertical space before allowing for required installation and service clearances.

OPERATING TEMPERATURE

Emerald PRO Operating Temperature Range

Current Emerald specifications list operation down to approximately -7°C without electric-element assistance.

With element support available, the published operating range extends to approximately -15°C.

Real-world heating performance and recovery still change with ambient temperature.

AIRFLOW

Emerald Heat Pumps Need Suitable Airflow

Heat pumps extract energy from surrounding air, so the installation position needs adequate airflow.

Tight enclosed areas, poorly ventilated cupboards and positions where air intake or discharge is obstructed can affect performance.

The old electric-storage location should not automatically be assumed suitable for a heat pump.

CONDENSATE & DRAINAGE

Plan Heat Pump Condensate and Hot Water Drainage

Heat-pump operation can create condensate as the system cools the surrounding air.

The installation therefore needs appropriate condensate drainage as well as suitable drainage for normal hot-water valves.

Poor drainage can make an otherwise convenient installation position unsuitable.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Emerald PRO Electrical Supply

Current Emerald PRO models use a 220–240V single-phase electrical supply.

The built-in electric element and Booster operation mean the electrical requirements should be checked against the exact installation rather than assuming the old electric hot-water circuit can automatically be reused unchanged.

Current product data lists maximum current in Booster mode at approximately 11.3A.

ELECTRIC STORAGE UPGRADE

Replacing Electric Storage with Emerald Energy

Emerald PRO heat pumps are particularly relevant when replacing an old conventional electric-storage system.

The heat pump can provide stored hot water with lower reliance on direct electric resistance heating during normal operation.

The replacement should still be checked for airflow, drainage, electrical requirements, physical dimensions, noise position and household demand.

HEAT PUMP REPLACEMENT

Replacing an Existing Heat Pump with Emerald PRO

If an existing heat pump has performed well, its capacity and recovery provide a useful replacement starting point.

If the existing system frequently ran out, was noisy or was installed in a poor location, review those issues before simply installing another heat pump in the same position.

  • Existing tank capacity
  • Current household size
  • Peak hot-water demand
  • Electrical supply
  • Airflow
  • Condensate drainage
  • Valve drainage
  • Noise-sensitive areas
  • Base condition
  • Unit dimensions
  • Delivery access
  • Service access
EMERALD VS STANDARD ELECTRIC

Emerald Heat Pump vs Standard Electric Storage

Emerald PRO Heat Pump

Uses heat from surrounding air, inverter technology and smart controls with electric boost available when needed.

Electric Storage

Uses direct electric resistance heating and can provide a simpler traditional replacement.

The Decision

Compare upfront cost, electricity use, airflow, drainage, noise, smart features, available space and expected ownership period.

SMART HEAT PUMP

Emerald Energy as a Smart Heat Pump Option

Built-in Wi-Fi and Emerald App integration give the current PRO range a strong smart-hot-water position.

Users can access selected functions such as tank status, temperature, operating modes, energy information and smart actions from the app.

Smart functionality is useful, but the correct system size and installation location should be selected first.

QUIET HEAT PUMP

Emerald Energy for Noise-Sensitive Installations

Emerald PRO includes a dedicated Silent mode for households wanting lower operating noise during selected periods.

The listed reduction from approximately 49dB(A) to 45dB(A) at one metre is useful, but quieter operation also reduces heating output and recovery.

Installation position remains important around bedroom windows, neighbours and narrow side passages.

REBATES & STCS

Emerald Energy Heat Pumps and Available Incentives

Eligible Emerald Energy heat-pump installations may qualify for Small-scale Technology Certificates or other available energy-efficiency incentives.
