Grant’s nationwide network of plumbing and heating merchants plays a central role in making its heating technologies accessible to installers, developers and homeowners throughout Ireland. The long-standing relationships Grant has built with merchants provide an established route through which complete heating systems, individual products, accessories and spare parts can be supplied locally. As home heating increasingly moves towards integrated systems, this network also plays an important role in bringing multiple, complementary heating technologies together for projects.
“At Grant, the distribution of our heating technologies has always been through our dedicated network of plumbing and heating merchants across Ireland,” said Barry Gorman, National Renewable Sales Manager at Grant. “We are proud of the relationships we have developed with our merchants and grateful for their continued support.”
For installers, purchasing through a local Grant merchant provides a trusted and traceable route to the products specified for each project. It also provides convenient access to the products, accessories and spare parts required.
For developers, this merchant network supports the local supply of Grant’s professionally designed and specified heating systems. Grant’s free Design & Specification Service supports this process, with its in-house technical specialists sizing and specifying the heating system for each project and providing a detailed specification and bill of materials. This gives merchants a clear schedule of the Grant technologies required for supply.
A strong partnership with the trade
As heating systems become increasingly integrated, close collaboration between manufacturers, merchants and installers is important. Grant’s established merchant relationships form an important part of this approach.
Depending on the requirements of the property, a package can combine the award-winning Grant Aerona R290 4kW air source heat pump with a Grant QR hot water cylinder, Uflex underfloor heating and smart heating controls. Following the system design and specification process, a quotation detailing the required Grant technologies provides the merchant with a clear schedule for supply.
For merchants, this creates the opportunity to supply a wider range of Grant technologies within an individual project, while installers and developers benefit from a clear route from system specification through to local supply.
“It is important that we continue developing technologies and services which our merchants can recommend with confidence,” continued Barry Gorman. “Our integrated heating packages bring together technologies designed and specified to work as part of a complete heating system, giving our merchant network a clear package to order and supply.”
Merchants are also supported by Grant’s technical expertise, product training, commissioning and aftercare services, providing a connected network of support throughout the project.
