Emerald Energy All-in-One
Australia’s Most Efficient Single Unit Heat Pump
The Emerald Energy All-In One Unit is Australia’s most efficient single unit heat pump, and remarkably places #7th out of over 238 heat pumps in the government scheme despite not having a seperate compressor.
It is a major innovation in a single-unit system thanks to it’s handy inverter, and comes with many handy features. In this review, we go over the specifications of the system, the system’s warranty, it’s specifications, and the perks of getting an electric booster. This unit is a great compromise for getting a heat pump system with great performance and a sleek and minimalist design. While not the most powerful heat pump out there, it certainly does pack a punch and will certainly reduce your electricity bills.

Performance Comparison
In terms of single-unit systems, the Emerald 220L heat pump ranks 7th overall in the market. This is remarkable because of it’s single-unit design. Meanwhile, the Emerald 270L heat pump ranks 20th overall. These systems are quite efficient despite being single-unit systems; in particular, the 220L model has a great efficiency rating.
Environmental Impact
A key highlight of Emerald Energy Heat Pumps is its use of R290 refrigerant. With a significantly lower global warming potential than traditional refrigerants, it stands as an environmentally conscious choice. It’s long term GWP of 0.02 (over a 100 year period) is even less than CO2.
Warranty and Support
Emerald offers a competitive warranty on their system, with 5 years on the compressor. They offer a standard 5 years on the tank and 2 years on all labour. In addition, their wifi capability allows them to diagnose any issues and resolve them before they become a problem.
