Grant’s Integrated Heating Packages help simplify design in construction

With the increasing demand for low-carbon heating technologies, higher building standards and future-ready heating systems, construction professionals need solutions that tick all the boxes – performance, compliance and homeowner comfort. Grant’s Integrated Heating Packages offer a fully comprehensive approach, streamlining the heating specification process for new builds and deep retrofit projects across Ireland.

Designed by Grant’s in-house technical team, these packages combine three key components – a primary heat source, hot water storage, carefully selected heat emitters and smart controls. Every package is tailored to the property’s unique layout, energy requirements and building regulations, ensuring maximum performance with minimum hassle.

At the Centre: The Aerona R290 Heat Pump
At the core of Grant’s Integrated Heating Packages is the Grant Aerona R290 air-to-water heat pump, a high-efficiency system that uses natural refrigerant R290, with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of only 3, supporting long-term decarbonisation goals. With five models in outputs ranging from 4kW–16kW, the Aerona R290 range offers flexibility across a wide range of property types. The Aerona R290 is already gaining traction on new build developments and within single dwelling properties, with many developers impressed by its proven performance, easy installation and Grant’s robust aftercare.

Design Support from Start to Finish
To support the specification process, Grant offers a heating design and specification service, which is free of charge and ensures that each individual heating system is accurately tailored to the needs of the property. This service includes full system sizing, in-depth room-by-room heat loss calculations, to radiator, underfloor and pipework circuit layouts and technical support – all provided by Grant’s in-house specialists.Whether working on a one-off dwelling or a large-scale development, construction professionals benefit from expert guidance to ensure the system design aligns with current building regulations and all relevant compliance requirements. The result is a fully integrated heating package that helps to simplify both the planning and heating installation stages of a new build or deep retrofit project.

Complete System Design
To complement the Aerona R290, the Grant team specifies a compatible hot water storage solution, such as the Grant Integrated Unit, and selects the most appropriate heat emitters. These include Grant Uflex underfloor heating for high-efficiency radiant heat or Afinia aluminium radiators, which provide quick responsiveness and a sleek finish. Hybrid systems using both options are also common, depending on project needs.

Intelligent Control
Bringing the system together is the Aerona Smart Controller, which comes as standard with all Aerona R290 heat pump and offers intuitive scheduling, weather compensation and remote access through a mobile app or online portal. It enables homeowners to easily manage their heating while also allowing installers and engineers to monitor performance, adjust settings and carry out diagnostics remotely.

Complete Heating Solution
Grant’s integrated heating packages take the complexity out of low-carbon system design. For those involved in delivering new-build residential schemes, they offer a smart, compliant and future-ready solution, supported by a trusted manufacturer with over 45 years of experience.
