To ensure comfortable, efficient and affordable heating for new-build properties, Grant offers a free-of-charge heating design service.
The service is helping to save time on projects and is providing peace of mind from knowing that the exact heating requirements of the property are being met, which in turn results in reduced carbon emissions and greater long-term savings for the property owner.
Financial and carbon savings
By working with Grant’s technical specialists, engineers, architects and installers can optimise the property’s heating investment and achieve long-term financial and carbon savings.
These benefits are delivered by a smart, bespoke heating system, consisting of correctly sized heating technologies, designed with the unique needs of both the property and its owner in mind.
The first step in Grant’s heating design process is heat loss calculations. Once property plans are received, Grant’s technical specialists use these plans to carry out room by room heat loss calculations in line with SR:50 requirements.
This information provides the heat load requirement for each room and helps to prove compliance with Part L of the building regulations and calculate the heat pump output, the hot water demands and underfloor heating and/or radiators for the property.
Correctly sized heating technologies
Once the heat loss calculations are finalised and the heat load for each room within the property is known, the Grant team can specify correctly sized heating technologies, bespoke to the individual needs of the property.
It is essential that heating technologies are correctly sized to ensure a highly efficient heating solution for the property.
With a growing focus on sustainability, carbon reduction, and reducing environmental impact, incorporating renewable energy sources into the property’s heating design is important and can help to future-proof for changing heating needs.
Proving popular in new build projects is the Grant Aerona3 R32 air to water air source heat pump range which has an ErP rating of A+++ and an SCOP of up to 5.4:1.
Available in outputs of 6kW, 10kW, 13kW and 17kW, models within the range provide compliance and an energy efficient, sustainable, cost-effective heating option.
Following the specification of the main heat source, the Grant technical team will identify the correct high performance hot water cylinder to support the system’s overall efficiency.

Heat water faster
The Grant pre-plumbed hot water cylinder range is designed to heat water faster and more efficiently than standard cylinders.
These highly versatile cylinders are configured for two heating zones but have options for two further heating zones and a domestic hot water zone and complement an air to water air source heat pump.
Selecting the correct heat emitters to suit both the property and the heat source’s needs is a vitally important step in the heating design process.
Grant’s expanding range of heat emitters includes Grant Afinia aluminium radiators and the popular Grant Uflex underfloor heating system.
Underfloor heating and aluminium radiators are great choices to heat individual rooms in a new build property as both work effectively with high and low temperature systems like an air to water air source heat pump.
Balance of warmth
This means that in addition to providing a balance of warmth throughout a property, both heat emitters will use less energy.
Having delivered reliable, efficient home heating solutions for over four decades, Grant is a trusted partner for those working in the trade.
*The energy source used by a heat pump is electricity which can be renewable.
