Key highlights
🎨
Award-winning Emura design
The Emura 3 has won multiple design awards — the curved white glass panel blends into modern Irish interiors rather than dominating the wall. Available in white, silver and matte black
🌡️
Heat and cool — one unit
Reverses the refrigerant cycle for cooling in summer. As Irish summers warm, this dual function is increasingly valued in apartments and open-plan living areas
📱
Full smart home ecosystem
Apple HomeKit, Alexa and Google Home natively supported — the only heat pump in this directory to support all three major smart home platforms simultaneously
🏠 Suitable for
ApartmentsIndividual roomsSupplement heatingOfficeLiving room cooling
Compatibility note: N/A — air-to-air heats and cools room air directly (no water circuit). A SEAI-registered heat pump installer will complete a heat loss assessment and radiator compatibility check before installation — this is required as part of the grant process.
✅ What we like
- Heats and cools — one unit for winter heating and summer cooling
- COP 4.97 for heating — very efficient room heating
- 21 dBA indoors — near-silent operation
- Apple HomeKit + Alexa + Google Home native integration
- Award-winning Emura design — discreet and stylish on any wall
- ~€2,500 installed — lowest installed cost of any heat pump in this directory
⚠️ Worth knowing
- No Central Heating Upgrade component in the SEAI grant — air-to-air cannot heat hot water
- Cannot connect to radiators or underfloor heating — heats room air only
- Single-room heating — multiple units needed for whole-home coverage
- Cannot replace a central heating system

☀️ Pair with solar panels — maximise your SEAI grants in Ireland
A heat pump and solar panels are the most powerful renewable combination available to Irish homeowners today. Your Daikin heat pump runs entirely on electricity — solar generates that electricity from your roof at zero cost. Both qualify for substantial SEAI grants. See the full Solar Panel Directory for all models available in Ireland.

Maximum total combined grant€9,600
💡 Apply BEFORE installation begins. Both the Heat Pump and Solar PV grants require a SEAI Letter of Offer before any contractor starts work. You can apply for both in the same process — ask your installer to coordinate a combined application. Also note: 9% VAT applies to heat pump supply and installation (reduced from 23% since 1 Jan 2025).
🌡️ Why a heat pump and solar are the perfect pair: A heat pump runs entirely on electricity — and a solar system generates free electricity from your roof. A typical 4kWp solar system generates ~3,400–3,800 kWh/year. Your Daikin Emura 3 3.5 kW uses ~3,000–5,000 kWh/year for heating and hot water. With both installed, your solar covers a large portion of your heat pump's electricity use — at zero cost. The combination is the highest-savings renewable upgrade available to Irish homeowners today.
