Hot water heat pump size guide

Choosing the right hot water heat pump size for your home can feel overwhelming, especially with all the technical jargon and numbers thrown around. But it doesn’t have to be complicated. To simplify this hot water heat pump size guide, we will use an analogy: think of your hot water heat pump like a set of kitchen pots. They all do the same job—cooking your food—just in different sizes, depending on how much you need to prepare.

Does size really matter when choosing a heat pump size?

Ah, the age-old question. In the case of hot water heat pumps, yes it does. But why? Well, a heat pump that’s too small won’t meet your properties hot water needs, leading to cold showers and nobody wants that. On the other hand, an oversized heat pump might seem like a safe bet, but it can be inefficient and unnecessary for your needs.

How do you find the perfect fit?

It’s all about matching the hot water heat pump’s capacity to the size of your property. But keep in mind, *information provided here is an estimate only. Make sure you take your personal needs into consideration before installing an Emerald All-In-One Heat Pump.

Small families

If you’re part of a smaller household with a family of up to four, the 220L All-In-One Heat Pump is likely your best bet. It’s like using a small pot for a light meal—efficient, reliable, and perfectly suited to your needs. This system is compact and efficient, providing plenty of hot water without taking up too much space or consuming too much energy. Whether it’s for your morning shower or washing the dishes after dinner, this heat pump will keep up with your daily demands for your smaller sized family without breaking a sweat.

Medium-sized households

For properties that fall into the medium-sized category, the 270L All-In-One Heat Pump is recommended. Think of it like using a medium-sized pot when cooking for more people—sturdy and dependable, with a bit more capacity. This system ensures that everyone in the house gets their hot shower, even during the busy morning rush. It’s designed to manage the increased demand, making sure you never have to worry about running out of hot water.

This powerhouse heat pump ensures that you’ll always have enough hot water, even on the busiest of days. It’s the ultimate solution for families or small businesses with high hot water demands.

Understanding the recharge rate

Another important factor to consider when choosing a heat pump size is the recharge rate. Simply put, the recharge rate is like your phone’s charging speed – the faster it is, the quicker your heat pump can reheat your water. This is especially crucial during those chilly mornings when everyone is queuing up for a hot shower.

Emerald’s standard heat pump models heat up to 58L per hour, which is perfect for regular usage. But if you live in a region that hits temperatures of less than -12°C, you might want to consider the optional e-heater, which can ramp up the heating to 112L per hour. This ensures that even for large households in extra chilly climates, there’s always hot water available when you need it most.

Why efficiency matters

Choosing the right heat pump size isn’t just about ensuring comfort; it’s also about efficiency. The right-sized heat pump will use energy more efficiently, reducing your utility bills and minimising your carbon emissions. In other words, it’s a win-win situation: you get the hot water that costs you, and the planet less.
