Grant UK’s new air-to-water heat pump range, the Aerona 290, will be available to order in October 2024.
The Aerona 290 air source heat pump is the fifth generation of air source heat pump from Grant Engineering, which has worked closely with installers throughout the research and development phase.
The range, which will be supplied alongside Grant’s Aerona³ models, will be available to order from October with the 4, 6.5 and 9kW units available first and larger outputs of 12 and 15.5kW coming in early 2025.
The Aerona 290 monobloc heat pump has been developed upon three core pillars – design, performance and peace of mind. It has not only been designed with its aesthetics in mind but also its acoustics. The ultra-low noise levels of the units, which have achieved Quiet Mark accreditation, are the result of sound-reducing features within the unit including acoustic cotton sound insulation in the casing and anti-vibration feet.
The models 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, delivering exceptional performance levels. The units can be monitored and managed remotely, giving both installers and their customers control of their heat pump system and assisting offsite diagnostic support when required. Designed for use with the Aerona Smart Controller, the Aerona 290’s operation can be managed with ease through straightforward set-up and commissioning and innovative control thereafter.
Available with a seven-year guarantee when installed by a G1 Installer (terms and conditions apply), the Aerona 290 has been tested to perform in extreme temperatures from -25°C through to 35°C. Customer support is also provided by Grant UK’s in-house teams of renewables experts. For system design and specification, Grant UK’s design team are available to help installers, merchants and other customers correctly size their new Aerona 290 system.
Grant UK is also launching several new ancillary products designed to work with the Aerona 290 and Aerona³ heat pump ranges. These include new models of QR smart pre-plumbed cylinders featuring the Aerona Smart Controller as well as additional smart heat pump controller kits and accessories.
In advance of the Aerona 290 heat pump being available to order, Grant UK’s Training Academy has released a free one-day training course at its academy in Swindon and will be rolling this out nationally to selected training venues from October. The training course will cover operation, performance, installation and commissioning as well providing training on R290 refrigerant and the important safety requirements for installation.
