If you are currently building your own home and have decided to use the Grant Aerona³ R32 air to water air source heat pump as your main heat source, it is important that the system is correctly sized. Sizing requirements are based on the heat load requirements for each room in a property and these calculations can also determine the best suited technologies for the individual project.

When carrying out a new build project, installing a highly sustainable main heat source like an air to water heat pump is now essential in order to meet required building compliance. When a heat pump like the Grant Aerona³ R32 air to water air source heat pump is chosen, then full heat loss calculations in line with currently building requirements and regulations are recommended. These calculations can be provided free of charge by the technical specialists at Grant.

In addition to providing the heat load requirement for each room, which helps to calculate the output of the air to water, air source heat pump, the Grant team will also correctly size and specify complimentary technologies for each individual build, including hot water cylinders, radiators, and underfloor heating.

A heating system that has not been sized in line with a property’s requirements is most likely to produce inconsistent heat using more energy, leading to increased heating costs, reduced efficiency, potential maintenance issues and the heating system not living up to expectations.

Grant works with both self-builders and those working on larger scale new build projects to have each heating system professionally designed and specified, free of charge. To have your bespoke integrated heating package designed and specified by Grant, send your house plans, contact information and your preferred choice of heat emitters (underfloor heating, radiators or both), to heatpump@grant.ie (ROI) or heatpump@grantni.com (NI)

Why chose the Grant Aerona³ R32 air to water, air source heat pump as the main heat source in your new build?

The Grant Aerona³ R32 air to water air source heat pump is the most popular main heat source within the company’s integrated heating packages for new builds. The highly efficient A+++ Aerona³ R32 air to water air source heat pump, offers a sustainable form of heating and can help achieve building compliance.

All four models within the R32 range, 6kW, 10kW, 13kW and 17kW, boast superior seasonal coefficient of performance (SCOP) and can run at both high and low temperatures which allows the heat pump to work in tandem with Grant’s other heating technologies; a prime reason why it is often chosen as the main heat source within the packages offering.

When paired with Grant’s other heating technologies like the Uflex underfloor heating system, the overall efficiency levels of the new build property will rise, as both technologies can run at lower temperatures, therefore enabling long-term carbon savings.

The Grant Aerona³ R32 13kW and 17kW models have also been recognised by Quiet Mark for their quiet operation. Quiet Mark is the international award programme validating and awarding low-noise, high-performance technologies, helping to deliver solutions to overcome noise pollution throughout the world.

All Grant products are available from plumbing and heating merchants throughout the island of Ireland. For further information visit www.grant.ie / www.grantni.com
