5 Quoc  · Great service from Prantic in sales and Dina in office. Installation technicians were professional and efficient.
5 Steve  · Great product and the WiFi App is incredibly useful as can turn on or off from anywhere if not at home.
4 Lexus330  · Very basic heat pump. Even though come with app to control the device. You can only turn on and off plus boost function. Very simple and not useful.
5 Sachin K.  · Excellent unit .Saving on electricity. Instant hot water. Wi fi connectivity
5 Peejay Chown  · Super happy, have notice a big difference in our power bill in the last months bill and don't run out of hot water
5 Neil Tucker  · Best decision for replacement of our old gas hot water heater. Works extremely well, plenty of hot water. Suits our needs perfectly

We Purchased this unit in August 2024 through O’Brien electrical and plumbing in Roweville, and were told that this unit would not let us down. Do not buy one of these units!!!! We went with this option as we wanted to utilise our solar energy, and were told that it would be suitable for our 3 person household. It’s now not quite 2 years later… Read more

and within the last 4 mths we have had only lukewarm warm water, that runs out after 1 shower!!

We have tried to email the supplier(Obriens electrical and plumbing in Rowville Victoria) and also emailed emerald directly with no response!!

We have also tried to call an emerald 02 number who gave us another number to speak to someone, that only goes to a recorded information message telling you to email your query!

We are at the end of our rope and are considering taking this further with consumer affairs, as after reading other reviews it appears that we are not the only ones experiencing these issues!

It is a basic need to have HOT water available to a household and this company is obviously not giving a ‘rats’ about how many people are suffering!

We need this issue fixed or replaced today!!! Do something about it EMERALD!!!

I was recently convinced to convert to heat pump technology as it would use less energy than my twin element 305litre Rheem system, which has been now proven to be correct. We purchased the Emerald system through Carbonsavers Melbourne because of the good reviews we saw on both Carbon Savers and Emerald on Product Review and other sites… Read more ·  1

highlighting the high quality of the product, the backup service and the standard of the installation. This too proved to be correct, starting with Ella from Carbon Savers who oversaw the purchase and planning and Martin also of Carbon Savers who ensured that the installation complied with all specifications. This was followed by the installation team of Brady and Ryan who were punctual, knowledgeable, efficient and obviously took pride in their work. Seventy minutes after their arrival the only obvious sign of their visit was a new 320 heap pump heating our water. Thank you team

It’s been a few weeks since I got my Emerald heat pump. From the first time dealing with Carbon Savers I was very impressed with the professionalism from start to finish. Everything went smoothly with the installation and there was no hidden extras as they did a very thorough quote. Very happy. Show details ·  1

I recently purchased the Emerald All‑in‑One Heat Pump 270L, and while the experience began with significant issues, it ended with a result I am very happy with. The company I originally paid for both the sale and installation — Australian Green Solution (AGS) at Springvale Office & Warehouse — failed to deliver a properly functioning system. The… Read more ·  1

tank was not operating correctly from the start, and instead of taking responsibility, AGS repeatedly delayed, avoided action, and shifted blame. As a customer, this was extremely disappointing. Fortunately, the Emerald team stepped in and took ownership of the situation. Their support was outstanding. They arranged for a troubleshooting technician to inspect the system, organised a replacement tank, and coordinated a proper re‑installation. Their communication, professionalism, and willingness to resolve the issue made all the difference. Now that the new tank is installed, the system works perfectly. It runs very quietly, heats water efficiently, and performs exactly as advertised. The mobile app is simple to use and provides helpful monitoring of water temperature and tank status. The Boost function is especially convenient — one tap in the app gives a fast heat‑up when needed. I am genuinely grateful for Emerald’s product warranty and the technical support they provided during a difficult time. Without their intervention, I would not have received the working product I paid for. Their commitment to customer care deserves recognition. Overall, the Emerald 270L heat pump is an excellent unit, and the Emerald team has proven they stand behind their product.

Only had the heat pump for two months. I only have 2 people in the house but we often have family visiting from overseas, hence, getting the 320l model. First day after installation, I suspected it was already a bit slower than expected, took a total of 7 to 8 hours to heat up to 60 degrees. Specially it was in the middle of summer. I have setup… Read more

schedule it to turn on at 10am and off at 5pm to utilize solar. Then the next day, after 2 person worth of usage, the temperature dropped to 48 degrees. It took more than 3 hours to get it back 60 degrees. Not sure if this is normal. The performance isnt ideal but manageable. After about month, it starts to take the whole day to get back to 60 degrees. Three weeks ago, I need to keep it in boost mode to get to 60 degrees. Two weeks ago, I could barely get to 50 degrees with boost active the whole day and I only manage to let my wife having shower. I contacted my installer and he advised to contact Emerald directly. It was on a Friday after lunch when I sent email to Emerald. Didn't get feedback until Monday which is fine. So I called their support number provided by my installer. Staff was polite but response time isn't the best. Staff is difficult to reach and I specifically requested for a call back many many many times, only received email for updates. During troubleshooting, I was told to take a video of a list of diagnostic parameters (just a list of 36 numbers) and send to Emerald for investigation. As an engineer, I am interested in knowing what each parameters mean. Therefore, I asked for descriptions of the parameters but was told they are internal use only. After confirming it being a compressor fault under warranty, I have asked to see if there is a way for me to upgrade to the model with heating element so that there can be a second way to heat up water even if compressor is faulty again. I know it won't fix the problem, but at least I can have some warm water while waiting for repair. My request is rejected even if I offer to pay for price difference.... Which is very disappointing. I don't have too much faith in the product. I got the unit replaced within 7 days after initial contact, the installation was a bit of messy job, I need to level the soil around the unit after the installation. It took 5 hours to heat to 60 degrees this time. This is 3 hours faster than the first unit. This suggested to me that I have been living with a faulty unit for 2 months. Hence, I have been spending more than double amount of energy to keep it running. I have requested Emerald to have my warranty reset since it is unfair to waste 2 months of warranty on a faulty unit. Emerald has also rejected this request. Asking to talk to their manager now. No feedback yet. I have no confidence in the heat pump at this point in time and I don't know when it will fail again.

Furthermore, the Wi-Fi is by far the weakest comparing to everything else I got at home. The app is simple to use but very limited in functionality. it would be good if we can setup scheduler with more logical conditions. I.e. activating boost mode if temperature is below a certain point during a particular time of the day.

P.S. I didn't have shower for a total of 7 days and I was very frustrated the whole time. On the days waiting for a warranty replacement, the water couldn't get above 30 degrees regardless of boost mode or not.

Update: at first, they have rejected my request the restart of my warranty. After requesting to speak to a manager, they have agreed to restart the warranty, which I believe is the least they can do.

I've had 2 installers come to set the timer. Neither had used the manual setup before, and both struggled because it's very complex. The unit… Read more

doesn't obey it timer settings, and turns on at random times. I was told Emerald would speak with me during the last review, but I'm still waiting. I want it to use my generated solarpower but it instead uses the power at the premium rates, increasing my power bill, when the heat pump claims to be energy inefficient. It's a scam, and I want this thing removed and my money back. You said you would ring and speak with me, I'm still waiting??? I don't recommend getting one of these units! The programmed times to heat are totally ignored by the unit; my power bill has gone way up due to the peak time of heating. Emerald will not speak with you but rely on yourself to work out the issues

 Follow-up  · I`m still waiting to see if my electricity bill has dropped due to the Heat Pump not being programmed correctly. It has taken 4 installers to come and try to program the settings properly, as they all rely on the app to do it, because the timer control is very complex and not user-friendly.

Looks smart, all-in-one design. Maintains the heat very well and only runs for a couple of hours each day to provide sufficiently for a large house. Only slight negative is the wifi connection isnt strong, possibly a weak antenna design, as several other friends have reported the same with their Emerald units. Show details ·  1

 Follow-up  · It's only been 3 months since I have had the heat pump, but so far so good.

silent mode isn't that silent. However, now we heat up the water during the day, to match solar input, it is not an issue for us but could be for others if situated near living areas or bedrooms using off peak power.

Cannot comment on energy efficiency until our next power bill but should be fine.

Obviously cannot comment on longevity but as the unit is undercover and well ventilated, I am hoping for many years of great service

I bought an Emerald Heat Pump in November 2024. It's been great so far, actually not costing me much ti run at all - but the thing that lets it down is the phone App you get to control it. Basically all you can do through the app is put the unit on quiet mode or boost it if you need more hot water and everyone has just had a shower at once. It… Read more

also lets you know when the tank is low and what temp it's on. Sadly you cannot control the temp digitally - that is done by turning a big dial on the connector hose going to the plumbing. Come on - it's 2026 for Christ's sake. But the worst thing - the reason I'm only giving three stars, is that the app NEVER WORKS because it just will not connect to my phone. No matter what I do.

Control panel failed within 28 days. No hot water for the day. Service team was not that helpful. They expect me to listen to their instructions and get fixed. I am still unsure of setting up smart actions on their app. The lady on the phone in customer service was not polite. I feel that I made a wrong choice of this product. Show details

 Follow-up  · I got the panel fixed as per their instructions by email. App is a still a bit confusing with smart actions. Overall, personal care is lacking as the product is in the market only for about two years. They need to lift their game for customer service. I bought this product to encourage the new entrants in this market.

I’d read of the energy efficiency of heat pump based HWS units before, but the lived-in reality surprised my expectations.

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.
