We are Your Local Emerald Experts: Sustainable Hot Water for Adelaide

Looking to slash your water heating costs while supporting an Australian-owned innovator? At Sharpe Trade Services, we are your specialized technicians for Emerald Energy hot water heat pumps. Since 1980, we’ve been Adelaide’s go-to multi-trade partner, and Emerald’s sleek, high-efficiency systems are the perfect upgrade for any eco-conscious South Australian home.

Founded in 2006 on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Emerald is a true energy efficiency pioneer. Their heat pumps are specifically engineered for Australian conditions, acting like a “reverse refrigerator” to extract heat from the air and transfer it to your water. This process can reduce your hot water energy consumption by up to 80% compared to traditional electric or gas storage systems.

Why Choose an Emerald Heat Pump?

Efficiency is at the heart of Emerald’s design. Our trusted and experienced in-house technicians recommend Emerald for several key advantages:

• Superior Efficiency (COP up to 5.2): For every 1kW of electricity used, the Emerald system can produce over 5kW of heat. This “Solar Soaker” technology allows you to heat your water for free by timing the system to run during peak solar generation.
• Smart Wi-Fi Integration: Every unit is Wi-Fi enabled, allowing you to monitor water temperatures, track energy usage, and activate “Boost Mode” or “Silent Mode” directly from the Emerald App.
• Eco-Friendly Refrigerant: Emerald uses R290 (Propane), a natural refrigerant with a global warming potential (GWP) of just 3—far superior to the R134a used in many budget models.
• Robust Backup: The “Pro” models feature an optional 1.6kW electric backup element, ensuring you never run out of hot water, even during the coldest Adelaide Hills winters.

The Emerald Product Range

• All-In-One Pro (220L, 270L, 320L): A sleek, integrated unit where the compressor sits atop the tank. Ideal for replacing standard electric cylinders where space is at a premium.
• Split System (300L): Perfect for installations where you want the water tank tucked away inside or in a tight spot, with the quiet compressor unit located up to 20 meters away.
• Whisper Quiet: Engineered for minimal noise, producing just 49dB(A) in standard mode and even less in “Silent Mode”—comparable to the sound of light rain.
