Very happy customer. Water pressure is decent, and there's no problem with running out of water so far. It would be great if the boost function could be scheduled in the app. Show reply

If I could give a zero I would!!! they don’t call back or even reply we have had the machine broken and won’t give us a day to repair not hot water no showers in a week and it pours out with water. Cheap Chinese crap beware do not purchase this product … only buy Australia made . Never ever again will I buy Chinese crap. Stick with brands you know and you can’t go wrong. Show details
I decided to replace my reliable instant gas hot water system with an Emerald 320L heat pump system to utilise the large solar system I just got installed. I used Australian Energy Upgrades to do the purchase and installation, which it appears that they got Trigger Group Plumbing to do the work. The installation was done last Tuesday and the job… Read more
looked fairly decent, but the installers let me know once they had completed the job that there was an E09 error that they could not fix, but they assured me that the installation was complete and that I would get a call back to organise what next. We got a call back from a plumber who told me someone was going to try and get out to my place on Wednesday but if they did not have enough time it would be Thursday for sure. They also told me that they are going to replace the PCB board which commonly fixes the issue. Cold showers for the household on Tuesday, the 21st of July, in the middle of winter. Wednesday came and went with no plumber coming, more cold showers. Plumber came on Thursday, he arrived at 6:45pm, replaced the PCB board and was done by around 8:15pm. Error E09 remained, the plumber told me that if it was not the PCB board it is likely the communication cable which is really hard to get to. He told me that someone would get back to me on Friday. Hats off to the plumber, appreciate the hard work and dedication, I think they worked for Avenue Plumbing and Drainage. More cold showers on Thursday. On Friday (today) we contacted AEU around 10am and they had no update and were getting in touch with Emerald. I sent another email asking for further details around lunch, which they replied to but more of nothing. My partner directly called Emerald around 3pm to try and get some details, which they said they were following up. We got a call back from the installers (not sure who as my partner chatted to them) around 4pm, they let us know that they were going to come out Monday and try and fix the communication cable, and if that repair fails they will have a backup unit that they will install. Friday, Saturday and Sunday, more cold showers. I do understand that unfortunate things happen and no one really wants them to happen. But I also don’t understand how they have no quality control of inventory coming from the factory floor. I would have thought a quick diagnoses test would reveal that this unit has an issue, saving the installers time and money to install a dud unit, and then all the extra time spent by everyone involved. I also find it hard to understand how there have been 2 business days this week where nothing has happened, surely it would be a great idea to look after a customer who got a unit dead on arrival. I am going to exercise my rights under sections 260 and 263 of the Australian Consumer Law, a non-functional unit upon installation where a PCB replacement has failed constitutes a major failure. Under section 263, the choice of the remedy sits with the consumer, and I am formally requesting a full replacement unit. Also under Australian Consumer Law a replacement product is legally treated as a brand-new purchase. Which automatically gets full statutory consumer rights on the new unit starting from the day it is installed. I hope this review helps other consumers and Emerald in the long term. I will add an update on Monday and let you know how it went. Thanks

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
I can't believe how efficient it is to run & provided us enough hot water all the time, no hot water fluctuation while using it Savings of a hundred dollar, than using gas water heating Show details · 1
Thank you for providing an efficient hot water system for our home. Installation crew were professional and skilled, happy with all aspects of installation and product. Show details · 1
The unit work as it designed to do, very happy with it to date. The only negative I have is the unit should have a better designed with the cable location. Show details · 1
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
It's a great unit. Works very well, it's quite when it's on. Temperature is good and so far haven't run out of hot water. 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.
I am very happy with my Emerald hot water heat pump, which operates as expected and is very economical to run. The installation went smoothly and the installation team was very efficient and professional. After installation, I had some WiFi connectivity issues with the controller and contacted the Emerald customer service. Their response was very… Read more · 1
prompt and a replacement controller was delivered within a couple of days after the initial call, my unit is now working fine.
The 220 ltr unit has excellent quick / direct hot water supply, no lag experienced. The functionality of the App needs improvement, could be more user friendly. Replaced an existing Gas hot water unit. Show details · 1

Slow recovery rate, app "smart actions" is confusing, why dont they just have a "sun out mode" which is peak solar times 10am-4pm. Could do with larger compressor and a faster recovery time. Show details · 1

work, making time for detailed answers to questions. Installation to replace the existing unit was very smooth, carried out by people who talked through what they were doing and how to use the new controls.
Follow-up · It's coming on to two years, and I have see the lower energy bills for heating water. Good pressure throughout the house, as before the change-over. All good.
Great install , I’m really happy so far with this unit, it heats quickly I’m not running out of hot water even with two kids, I have solar so it only heats in the day and is still hot next morning, I haven’t had an electric bill for hot water for two months so far. Love it .. Jimmy Installed Feb 26 Show details · 1
Follow-up · Well it's been another month since last review, I have no change, the taste is no different (but I don't drink hot water from the tap:) The pressure is still great, its not noisy at all, it use to heat through the day as I have solar, now I have batteries it can heat when ever. We are really loving the change..
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. As for Emerald, their customer service remains shocking;… Read more
Follow-up · Emerald has not made any effort to reach out, apart from putting a comment on this review and contacting me, as they really don`t care about customer service, but instead expect you to solve your issues by yourself

Early days yet but many positives!

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
This is my initial 3 weeks of usage review I'll just recently moved from a gas heater to a electric heater and to be honest I'm not seeing a lot of difference it's quite seamless the transition and also I'm more happy to be controlling the temperature and understanding heater a lot bit more but these are just initial reviews probably I'll come back and update my reviews another six months time.

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 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.

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 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,… Read more · 1
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.
