Globally renowned heating technology manufacturer Grant has announced the launch of its next generation air source heat pump – the Grant Aerona R290 – further demonstrating the company’s commitment to innovation and sustainable heating.
Representing an investment of €2.4 million, the new Grant Aerona R290 heat pump was designed in Ireland, specifically for the Irish and UK climate, 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.
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.
The new Grant Aerona R290 heat pump range is currently the only range of heat pumps to offer the complete range of outputs over 5 models from 4kW to 16kW – this means the range offers more solutions for a wider range of properties.
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 of three, signaling an important advancement in sustainable home heating.
Stephen Grant, Founder of Grant said, “The launch of the Aerona R290 heat pump marks a significant development in sustainable home heating and within our product portfolio. As our next generation heat pump, the Aerona R290 comes as Grant celebrates 15 years of being in the heat pump market and is testament to our commitment to design highly efficient, reliable heating technologies which can make a real sustainable difference.
As more properties make the transition to lower carbon heating solutions, we look forward to continuing to support customers through the delivery of technologies, products and services that can help them make a real difference.” Cleverly designed, taking both aesthetics and acoustics into consideration, the Grant Aerona R290 combines modern styling and sleek colorway with high performance. Featuring a durable, powder coated black casing, the Aerona R290 heat pump’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, www.quietmark.com, 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 within the Aerona R290 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 installers, merchants, and their customers to ensure correct sizing of the new Aerona R290 heat pump as part of an integrated heating system. All Aerona R290 heat pumps will also be commissioned onsite by Grant at no extra charge. Barry Gorman, National Renewable Sales Manager at Grant said, “These new products are welcome additions to our integrated heating package solutions offering. Together they will help to provide further choices and flexibility for design and installation of integrated heating systems for homes of different sizes, whilst providing the same quality and reliability that our customers have come to expect from a Grant heating system.”
