The Grant Aerona R290 air source heat pump has once again been recognised for excellence in sustainable heating innovation as it was awarded ‘Heat Pump of the Year’ at Ireland’s Plumbing & Heating Awards 2025.

The judging panel for awards praised the bespoke design of the Aerona R290 and its ability to address the high moisture levels of the Irish climate. They also recognised the significant investment made by Grant into the development of the Aerona R290 heat pump.

Additionally, the judges were impressed by the aesthetically pleasing appearance of the heat pump, its ease of connection with only two cables, and the wide range of models with outputs from 4kW to 16kW available, which enables the Aerona R290 to suit most properties.
