Convert Air to Savings!

The Future: Heat Pump Hot Water

A heat pump hot water system is an energy-efficient alternative to traditional electric or gas water heaters. It works by extracting heat from the air and transferring it to water, using a small amount of electricity to power the process.

This method is significantly more efficient because it leverages renewable energy from the environment rather than relying solely on electricity or gas. As a result, heat pump hot water systems can reduce energy consumption by up to 80%, leading to substantial savings on utility bills and a lower environmental impact. Ideal for eco-conscious homeowners, these systems offer reliable and sustainable hot water solutions.

Save up to 80% on your hot water bills

Hot water heating systems are often the most significant contributor to household energy costs, amounting
to approximately 25-30% of the total energy consumption.
Whether replacing an existing system or installing one, opting for an Emerald hot water heat pump guarantees both comfort and energy efficiency for your home.

Yes, it really is hot water out of thin air
Heat pumps extract thermal energy from the surrounding air. From 1kW of power input they can output 5kW to heat water. Such an eco-friendly and cost-effective solution for heating water.

3 sizes available - 220, 270 and 320 litres
These are ideal capacities for most homes. Each size offers ample hot water for various household needs, ensuring consistent and reliable hot water supply all year.

Amazing savings!

The initial investment in a heat pump hot water system often pays off within a few years due to reduced energy costs, making it a smart, long-term financial decision for eco-wise homeowners.

How heat pumps work

Emerald Energy heat pumps operate by extracting heat from the air and transferring it to the water in the tank. This process is similar to how a refrigerator or air conditioner works but in reverse.

The heat pump contains a refrigerant that evaporates at low temperatures, absorbing heat from the air. This vapor then runs through a compressor, raising its temperature, and the heat is transferred to the water. An electric element is also built in to provide backup heating.


iStore - Air to Energy

The iStore heat pump range offers 3 capacities - 180, 270 and 360 litres. We recommend this brand for customers who want the smaller or larger capacity as the Emerald range is somewhat restricted within the 220 to 320 litre sizes.

If you are already interested in getting a solar system from us, then the iStore 180 or 360 litre tanks could be the ideal complimentary piece for an energy-saving ‘whole of house’ solution.

Features

  • Make the most of your solar power system with this effective battery alternative

  • Reduce your electricity bills

  • Lower your annual carbon emissions

  • Increase the value of your property

  • Access Federal & State Government incentives

Battery Alternative

The iStore takes in PV energy that would otherwise be redirected back to the grid or sent to a far more expensive battery for later use. This allows you to make the most of your solar energy system, by converting all that excess energy into hot water for your home, providing fantastic savings!

Lower your annual carbon emissions

We all need to do our part for the environment, and the iStore can help reduce your home’s carbon emissions by as much as 4 tonnes annually.

Access Federal & State Government Incentives

Australian Federal Government Clean Energy Regulator approved, receive up to a $1,080 incentive once your iStore system is installed.

iStore - How it Works

  1. A fan draws in air, containing heat energy, across the evaporator.

  2. The evaporator turns the liquid refrigerant into a gas.

  3. The compressor pressurises the refrigerant into a hot gas.

  4. The hot gas inside the condenser coil heats the water inside the coil-wrapped tank.

  5. The refrigerant reverts back to a liquid after heating the water and continues to the evaporator for the process to start again.

  6. The cycle continues until the set target temperature is achieved.

    As water is used in the home, the cycle will restart once the temperature in the lower section of the tank has dropped 12 degrees below the target temperature.
