For more than 45 years, Grant’s innovative heating solutions have been helping to address the problem of rising energy costs and reduce carbon emissions, contributing to a greener future.
As we enter a new year, the drive towards sustainable home heating is more important than ever, and Grant continues its focus on developing highly efficient, innovative heating products that are easy to install, work seamlessly together and ensure long-term financial and carbon savings for the homeowner.
In recent years, Grant has largely transformed to a renewable heating company with its portfolio including ranges of HVO biofuel boilers, condensing wood pellet boilers, solar thermal panels, underfloor heating, hot water cylinders, aluminium radiators, and air-to-water air source heat pumps.
The consistent demand and interest among the trade for Grant’s heat pump technology has been reflected primarily through the impressive numbers of heating industry professionals that continue to attend Grant heat pump training courses at the manufacturer’s HQ in Birr, Co Offaly, as well as online via the Grant eLearning Academy.
A popular choice for the heating system of a new-build property, the Grant Aerona3 heat pump range offers cleaner, more environmentally friendly performance and can help achieve relevant compliance under building regulations. With an ErP rating of A+++ and a SCOP of up to 5.4:1, the Grant Aerona3 is available in outputs of 6kW, 10kW, 13kW and 17kW. The 13kW and 17kW models are also recognised for their quiet operation by the internationally acclaimed Quiet Mark.
“This year will see further innovation for the Grant Aerona3 heat pump range,” said Barry Gorman, National Renewables Sales Manager at Grant. “Our R&D team continues to advance our product ranges and we will very soon be announcing new additions to our portfolio.”
More plumbers and installers across the country are turning to Grant’s multi award-winning Vortex condensing boiler range to futureproof existing properties with its ability to run on 100% HVO biofuel (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil).
All boilers within the range come HVO-ready and older Grant condensing boilers can be adapted to run on HVO, with required modifications being carried out by a service engineer during an annual service. This adaptability of the Grant Vortex range is helping homeowners reduce carbon emissions by 87%, and avoid the high costs and disruption to daily life caused by deep retrofitting.
Commenting on this innovation and how it will help to further reduce carbon emissions in 2024 and beyond, Barry Gorman, National Renewables Sales Manager at Grant, said, “As an indicator of Grant’s foresight, Grant Vortex boilers sold since 2012 were designed for use with biofuels, only needing minor adjustments presently to use 100% HVO biofuel. The HVO biofuel-ready Grant Vortex is enabling rural and hard-to-heat homes to affordably transition to a renewable alternative with minimum disruption.
“To put this in perspective, if all homes in Ireland using kerosene converted to HVO today, the emissions from the liquid fuel heating sector annually could reduce by almost 90%, which would be a significant help to achieve carbon targets set for 2030.”
The Grant HVO biofuel compatible Vortex range has received many accolades including SEAI Best Renewable Heating Product and Heating Product of the Year at Ireland’s Plumbing & Heating Awards, and was a finalist in the sustainability category at the Irish Times Innovation Awards.
With multiple award wins for its forward-thinking Vortex technology, the impending launch of a new sustainable heating product to market, and its ever-expanding training opportunities for plumbers and installers to ‘upskill’, Grant is on course to make 2024 just as successful as ever.
