FAQs
WHAT IS THE LIFESPAN OF AN EMERALD
HEAT PUMP?
The life expectancy of an Emerald Heat Pump is 10-20 years.
Emerald Energy systems are built to last.
To ensure this heat pump hot water system operates optimally
and lasts longer, regularly clean the heat pump to prevent the
accumulation of dirt and leaves that could impact its operation.
HOW CAN AN EMERALD HEAT PUMP SAVE
MONEY?
Heat Pumps have an energy saving of up to 80% compared to
electric and gas systems.
Heat pump hot water systems are more energy-e cient than
traditional hot water systems. This is because it only uses electricity
to operate the compressor and fan, rather than using electricity to
directly heat the water using an electric element.
WHAT IS LEGIONELLA CONTROL?
To prevent Legionella bacteria growth heat pumps runs a
daily cleaning cycle every morning at 8:00am. This cycle heats
the system to 60°C regardless of the system's current state or user
preferences. It's a proactive measure to ensure thorough cleaning.
However, if the system reaches the 60°C target temperature before
8:00 am (for example, if it turns on at 3:00am and reaches the desired
temperature), the day's cleaning process is considered complete.
This approach ensures e ciency, avoids unnecessary heating
cycles, and optimises energy usage while maintaining cleanliness
and Legionella protection in the system.

WHAT IS THE kWh USAGE OF AN EMERALD
HEAT PUMP?
The average kWh usage of an Emerald Heat Pump is 3-4 kWh per
day (0.85 kW) compared to the kWh usage of a standard electric
standard hot water system, which is 14-18 kWh per day (3.6 kW).
These figures are based on average usage and will vary depending
on how often the system needs to heat large amounts of water in the
tank.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

Heat pump technology stands out for its energy e ciency,
contributing to lower greenhouse gas emissions when compared
to traditional heating methods.
Designed with energy-e ciency and environmental sustainability
in mind, they are an excellent choice for homeowners and businesses
looking to reduce their carbon footprint and lower energy costs.
