Leading heating technology manufacturer Grant has announced the launch of its next generation air source heat pump – the Grant Aerona R290 which is now available to order. Designed in Ireland, specifically for the Irish climate, the Grant Aerona R290 heat pump and is already proving itself to be in another league in terms of innovation and efficiency and a significant addition to the Grant product portfolio.
The launch of the Aerona R290 further demonstrates Grant’s commitment to innovation and sustainable home heating. This dedication was acknowledged with a recent industry award for outstanding innovation.
The Aerona R290 mono bloc heat pump range features five models, with the 4kW, 6.5kW and 9kW units available first and the larger 12kW and 16kW coming in early 2025.
Built upon three core pillars – design, performance and peace of mind, the Aerona R290 provides an even more environmentally friendly, low carbon heating solution for the next generation as it uses the energy efficient and natural R290 refrigerant, which has an incredibly low Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 3, signaling an important advancement in sustainable home heating.
Throughout the research and development phase, Grant heavily invested in design and testing of the new heat pump range to ensure the technology is best suited for year-round climate conditions in Ireland and the UK.
Designed with aesthetics and acoustics in mind, the Aerona R290 combines modern styling and sleek colourway with high performance. Featuring a durable, powder-coated black casing, the Aerona R290’s appearance has been developed following extensive analysis of feedback from customers. The ultra-low noise levels of the units, which have achieved Quiet Mark accreditation, are the result of innovative sound-reducing features within the units including acoustic cotton sound insulation in the casing and anti-vibration feet.
Delivering exceptional performance levels, models within the range have an energy rating of A+++ (at 35°C flow temperature) and their outputs have been rated at -5°C air temperature and 55°C water flow temperature. All models within the range have been tested to perform in extreme low and high temperatures with performance levels in terms of kW output consistent regardless of the climate and outside temperature, even at –3 degrees. The Aerona R290 also features a built-in immersion and high capacity 9m head circulation pump.
Providing peace of mind, models in the range can be monitored and managed remotely, giving both installers and their customers full control of their heat pump system and providing offsite diagnostic support when required. Designed for use with the Aerona Smart Controller, the Aerona R290 can be operated and managed with ease through straightforward set-up and commissioning, innovative control and support thereafter.
Grant’s in-house renewable technical specialists will also continue to provide their free of charge heating system and design specification support to ensure correct sizing of the Aerona R290 heat pump as part of an integrated heating system. All Aerona R290 heat pumps are also commissioned onsite by Grant at no extra charge.
Alongside the new Aerona R290 heat pump range, Grant is also launching the Aerona Smart Controller, and QR Smart Pre-Plumbed AWave Integrated Cylinder. These new products will feature within the company’s integrated heating package solutions, providing further choices and flexibility for design and installation whilst providing the same quality and reliability that they have come to expect from a Grant heating system.
