The specification of the right heating system is a key priority for construction professionals working on new build projects, as energy efficiency, sustainability, and homeowner comfort continues to shape the industry.
Leading heating technology manufacturer Grant has simplified this task with its fully integrated heating solutions, which combine award-winning heating technologies to deliver optimal performance and efficiency.
A Grant integrated heating package is designed to maximise efficiency by bringing together carefully selected sustainable heating technologies. Each package is customised to the property’s specifications and the occupant’s individual heating needs. Each integrated heating package features a primary heat source, hot water storage, and heat emitters. For enhanced efficiency and control, smart heating technology can also be incorporated.
For new-build projects, Grant’s integrated heating packages typically feature the new Aerona R290 air-to-water air source heat pump as the primary heat source. This award-winning, environmentally friendly heat pump has been described as setting new standards for sustainable home heating. The Aerona R290 uses natural refrigerant R290 which has an ultra-low Global Warming Potential (GWP) of just three, compared to other refrigerants like R32 which has a higher GWP and is gradually being phased out.
Once the heat pump is selected, a complementary hot water storage system such as the Grant Integrated Unit is sized for the property. To complete the package, Grant’s technical specialists specify the most effective heat emitters, which may include, Grant Uflex underfloor heating – ideal for consistent, radiant warmth or Grant Afinia aluminium radiators – high-efficiency radiators designed for modern homes or a combination of both.
Each package is designed in-house by Grant’s technical team as part of the company’s complimentary heating design service. This ensures that the system meets all building compliance requirements while delivering long-term energy efficiency and future-proofing the property.
In addition to the recent launch of the Grant Aerona R290 heat pump, Grant has introduced the Aerona Smart Controller, a smart solution for seamless and efficient heating control. This intuitive system combines sophisticated controller technology with a sleek, modern display, allowing homeowners to easily manage their integrated heating solution.
Key features of the Aerona Smart Controller include:
- User-friendly controls – Set heating schedules, domestic hot water timings, and room temperatures with ease.
- Weather-compensated operation – The controller monitors outdoor conditions and automatically adjusts the heat pump for maximum efficiency.
- Remote access & diagnostics – Through a web-based portal and mobile app, homeowners can monitor and adjust settings, while installers can remotely access system performance data for troubleshooting and diagnostics.
With Grant’s integrated heating packages and smart control solutions, construction professionals can confidently deliver energy-efficient heating systems that enhance long-term comfort and sustainability.
