Innovative and sustainable home heating
The launch of the Aerona 290 also further demonstrates Grant’s commitment to delivering innovative and sustainable home heating to both customers and those in the heating trade.
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.
Innovative and aesthetically pleasing, the Aerona 290 mono bloc heat pump has been designed to suit many types of property. The 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 290 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 3, signalling an important advancement in sustainable home heating.
Stephen Grant, founder of Grant said, “The launch of the Aerona 290 heat pump marks a significant development in sustainable home heating and within our product portfolio.
'Highly efficient, reliable heating technologies'
"As our next generation heat pump, the Aerona 290 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 homes 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 290 combines modern styling and sleek colorway with high performance.
Featuring a durable, powder coated black casing, the Aerona 290 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, 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 290 also features a built-in immersion and high capacity 9m head circulation pump.
Providing peace of mind, models within the Aerona 290 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.
Operated and managed with ease
Designed for use with the Aerona Smart Controller, the Aerona 290 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 290 heat pump as part of an integrated heating system. All Aerona 290 heat pumps will also be commissioned onsite by Grant at no extra charge.
Alongside the new Aerona 290 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.
