A new generation of home water heating is here! The Emerald Split System heat pump with R290, as a standalone addition to your household, can transform your home’s water heating experience. Find out what the benefits of installing an Emerald Split System heat pump are and why this powerful new technology delivers enhanced control, exceptional energy efficiency, and unparalleled convenience for your home.

1. Environmental Impact

At Emerald, we prioritise eco-friendly solutions, and the Split System with R290 is a testament to this commitment. R290 is a natural refrigerant with a very low global warming potential (GWP), making it an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional water heaters that contribute to global carbon emissions. By choosing an Emerald Split System, you’re not only enhancing your home’s comfort and efficiency but also reducing your family’s carbon footprint and impact on the planet. As the Emerald Split System uses R290, it has trusted government backing and has been approved by the Australian Government Energy Efficiency Scheme. You can rest assured that the Split System with R290 is key to a greener future.

2. Cost Savings

Switching to an Emerald Split System can lead to substantial cost savings for your home. The improved energy efficiency of these systems means that they require less electricity to maintain your desired water temperature. This reduction in energy use directly impacts your monthly utility bills, allowing you to save money year-round. In fact, by switching to a heat pump such as the Split System, you can reduce your energy requirements to heat hot water in your home by up to 80%! Additionally, the durability and reliability of the Emerald Split System with R290 mean fewer maintenance issues and a longer system lifespan, further reducing the overall cost of ownership.

3. Energy Efficiency

Heat pumps are a great way to improve energy efficiency, and, with Emerald’s Split System even more so. R290 is a natural refrigerant with superior thermodynamic properties, allowing the Emerald Split System to operate more efficiently than traditional systems. By transferring heat instead of generating it, our Split System with R290 uses significantly less energy to provide the same level of heating or cooling. This energy efficiency translates into lower electricity consumption, reducing your carbon footprint and contributing to a more sustainable future.

4. Smart Home Integration

One of the most exciting benefits of the Emerald Split System is its compatibility with Emerald Home, our smart home technology app. Emerald Home is your own personal energy manager for your home that helps you set up, manage, and control an energy efficient household. When combined with the Emerald Split System, it drastically lowers your household carbon footprint whilst also using our smart intelligence products to assist you on your energy efficiency and cost saving journey.
