For more than 45 years, leading heating technology manufacturer, Grant, has combined precision innovation, performance and value for money to design and manufacture sustainable home heating solutions. While the technology is sophisticated, Grant products are easy to install and can be carefully combined to maximise efficiency and long-term savings, while achieving the relevant compliance required under building regulations for new-build projects.

Grant's comprehensive range of heating technologies are designed for seamless integration and straightforward installation, including the new Grant Aerona R290 air-to-water air source heat pump, which is quickly becoming the preferred heating solution for many new build projects across Ireland.

Environmentally conscious design

The Aerona R290 is celebrated among industry professionals for its environmentally conscious design, utilising the natural refrigerant R290 with a remarkably low Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 3. This innovation not only enhances energy efficiency but also significantly reduces a property's carbon footprint, which in turn can help to meet Nearly Zero Energy Building (NZEB) standards.

Moreover, the Aerona R290 operates with ultra-low noise levels, with all units having received Quiet Mark accreditation, and offers user-friendly control through the Aerona Smart Controller, which enables remote system management.

The Grant Aerona R290 air-to-water heat pump delivers A+++ energy efficiency and is available in five outputs of 4kW, 6.5kW, 9kW, 12kW, and 16kW. Models feature exceptional Seasonal Coefficients of Performance (SCOP), with up to 4.88 SCOP at 35°C, providing up to 4.88kW of heat from just 1kW of electricity – depending on conditions.

With ultra-quiet operation, Quiet Mark certification, and compatibility with Grant Uflex underfloor heating and Grant Afinia radiators, the Aerona R290 is a smart, sustainable solution for integrated home heating.

Grant Uflex underfloor heating

Underfloor heating continues to grow in popularity as the go-to heat emitter for modern homes, particularly new builds. This trend is driven by the system’s ability to work efficiently at low temperatures, making it an ideal partner for renewable heating solutions such as air source heat pumps.

By operating at lower flow temperatures, both technologies reduce energy consumption and help to significantly cut carbon emissions and ongoing energy costs for homeowners.

The Grant Uflex underfloor heating system is specifically designed with new build construction in mind. Its installation process is integrated seamlessly into early stages of the build, meaning it can be laid as part of the floor structure without delaying other trades.

Consistent heat distribution

Once the floor insulation and membrane are in place, the Uflex pipework is clipped securely, and a flow screed is applied over the top. This ensures consistent heat distribution across the floor and a durable, long-lasting finish. After the screed has fully dried, the system is ready to deliver efficient, even warmth throughout the home.

Versatile and practical, the Uflex system is suitable for a wide range of projects – from single room extensions and bespoke one-off homes to larger multi-unit developments. Its adaptability and ease of installation make it a favourite among developers, engineers, specifiers and installers alike.

With its compatibility with sustainable technologies and its ability to deliver comfortable, zoned heating, the Grant Uflex underfloor heating system is helping shape the future of home heating in Ireland.

Those working on new build projects can benefit from Grant’s free heating design service, which delivers tailored heating system specifications for each room based on precise heat loss assessments and flow rate requirements. This comprehensive service not only streamlines the design process but also ensures full compliance with Part L of the building regulations in the Republic of Ireland, offering both time savings and peace of mind.
