eat pumps are relatively straight forward to install but you will need to make sure you have a good base level of product knowledge and every single installation will require planning and preparation.
> SO WHERE TO BEGIN? The good news is that you can start straight away by viewing Grant UK’s heat pumps videos on YouTube. Comprising 18 videos divided into three playlists, the tutorials have been developed to assist heating engineers and end-users. Each video addresses a particular question to provide clear, concise and informative answers, allowing viewers to select and watch the content which is most relevant to them. > One playlist focuses on the Aerona³ heat pump controller.

From programming through to fault finding, this playlist is a great resource for installers who work with Grant UK heat pumps. > There is also a playlist tutorial which covers the steps involved in setting up and commissioning a heat pump so this video content is purely aimed at the installing engineers. > A final playlist centres around the customer handover of a heat pump system. The topics covered include controlling the system, radiator temperature, airflow, servicing, water pressure and system water. This playlist has been developed for both homeowners and installers, to provide additional support during the important customer handover after an installation.
