been great. 4 years in we have seen small surface rust appearing on the connection from rain/condensation but I hear this is to be expected as the metals are dissimilar which causes galvanic corrosion. This is wear and tear and connectors should be replaced every 5 years so will do that soon. Overall we are happy with the unit and recommend it.

The unit has been installed for a month now. So far so good. The savings against my old gas HWS is amazing. I’d read of the energy efficiency of heat… Read more

pump based HWS units before, but the lived-in reality surprised my expectations. With the Emerald EE-HWS-A1-320E, I am averaging 40c a day in electricity charges to heat water, previously on gas, that was around $2 per day.

The Emerald app is easy to understand and use. The only negative is that it doesn’t allow you to customise the electricity tariff rates, so if you have a plan that is not the typical plan, eg one of those EV-night plans, you can’t accurately enter your rate details. Emerald should consider adding a feature for customers to enter their own time of day rates in a future software update.

purchased one of these units 4 years ago. I was disappointed to find out how noisy it was. The unit failed with in a 2 year period. It was replaced under warranty in March 2024. The second unit was about as noisy as the first. I don't believe the SPL information is accurate. The units make much more noise than the levels nominated in the manual. The second (replacement) unit has now had the Temperature & Pressure Relief Valve fail. Stiebel Eltron have informed me without inspecting the property that the valve failed because the mains pressure was too high . They suggested 850 KPA as the level that probably made the valve fail. In any event the T & P relief valve has a 12 month warranty so they can't do anything about changing it. What should I think about that?

A business is only as good as it's reputation. I would like to give them less than one star but it wouldn't make me feel any different.

should be removed as these units work on water pressure to activate and stay on . Turn you hot on full and then adjust with your cold . If your still having issues the either your cold water pressure is to low or one of your electric phases is out or not producing at full capacity....

which Rheem don't seem to manage well. On mine the welding on the heater flange is VERY poor, causing it to fail and leak just on the 7 year warranty (I don't think 7 years is awesome for a tank with wires connected to it - I've had gas ones that have done 4 times that). So it's not inherently terrible - if you get one that was made by the good welder it would be great, but how would you know?

the time settings on it so that it heats in the middle of the day, for when the peak heat of the day is available (eg drawing heat from the environment), and also so that our solar PV system generates power to cover its use. It seems to be very efficient.

Australian environment. This unit has failed twice - the first within the warranty period (a faulty seal and heating element) and the second just outside (but still covered by consumer law) being a faulty sensor.

The good news is the service department is responsive and they have a local plumber who can get to the unit quickly. But make sure you have those contact details handy. The first time this unit failed, it took three days for my plumber and the plumbing wholesaler to track down how to get repairs under way.

Note that my unit is now five years old. I hope that the current generation has addressed the quality issues.

well - gives near instant heat when we turn the shower on, then powers back as the Sanden hot water comes through. However, after 4 years it stopped working! I was worried since the stated warranty is only 3 years. But MicroHeat replaced the unit with no squabbles. A replacement unit arrived in the mail very promptly and they even covered the cost of the electrician and plumber! This is great service from a small Aussie company. Thank you guys!

They put me in contact with their water specialist who called me straight away, asked all the right questions and came up with a great plan for me straight away.

(that will follow). Ballina Hot Water Specialists were excellent from start to finish. Dane was clearly more concerned about me getting value for money than them making a profit. They made sure they extended the life of my old system as long as they could before replacing it. I cannot speak highly enough about them, their prompy response and support, clean and efficient work, everyhting we asked and hoped for and finished the job well inside the allocated time frame. Also, excellent pricing (and I was prepared to overlook any variance in return for the high service level, but they came in as Best value as well. If your in this area, look no further.
