Aerona³ Air Source Heat Pumps

Versatile Options for Every Need

Grant UK's Aerona³ air source heat pumps come in four single-phase outputs—6kW, 10kW, 13kW, and 17kW. Perfect for various property sizes and heating requirements, these options ensure you have the right solution for every client.

Long-Term Guarantees

G1 Installers can offer an impressive 7-year guarantee, provided they complete Grant's heat pump training. This extended warranty not only adds value to your service but also builds trust with your clients. Full terms and conditions apply – please click here to learn more about the G1 Installer Scheme.

Certified and Eligible for Upgrades

The Aerona³ range is MCS certified, making it eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. This certification ensures that the units meet high standards, providing peace of mind for both installers and end-users.

High Efficiency and Eco-Friendly

Each model boasts high SCOP values, indicating excellent efficiency. They use R32 refrigerant, which has a much lower Global Warming Potential compared to traditional refrigerants such as R410a. This makes Aerona³ an environmentally friendly choice.

User-Friendly Design

The monobloc design of the Aerona³ R32 models means they're compatible with S-Plan heating control systems. This simplifies installation and maintenance, saving you time and reducing complications on-site.

Compact and Quiet

These units are compact in size and operate quietly, with the 13kW and 17kW models even earning the Quiet Mark. This low noise level is a significant benefit for end-users, ensuring minimal disruption.

Advanced Features

Every unit is DC inverter driven and includes weather compensation and a base tray heating element. These features, combined with an integrated HE pump and simplified electrics, make installation quicker and easier.

Intelligent Controls

The Aerona³ is designed for use with the Aerona Smart Controller or Aerona Remote Controller. These controllers come in kits with the Aerona Smart Controller offering advanced system management, enhancing the overall efficiency and functionality of the heat pump.

Grid-Ready Models

The 6kW, 10kW, and 13kW models are Connect & Notify approved, meaning they can be installed and connected to the grid without prior approval from the DNO. This can significantly speed up the installation process.

Homely Heat Pump Optimisation

When paired with the Aerona Remote Controller, the Aerona³ R32 heat pumps are suitable for installation with Homely Heat Pump Optimisation Controls. This ensures optimal performance and energy efficiency.

Cost-Effective Heating

Despite external temperatures, these models maintain high efficiency, offering a cost-effective renewable alternative to traditional off-gas heating methods.

Minimal Impact

With their compact footprint, Aerona³ units are designed to have minimal impact on their surroundings, both aesthetically and acoustically. This is a key selling point for end-users looking for unobtrusive heating solutions.

Heat Pump System Design

Alongside their supply of award-winning air-to-water heat pumps, Grant UK also has in-house design team who can help customers specify and design their renewable heating systems. Their team are able to do heat loss calculations, assist with heat pump selection and heat emitter sizing, as well as providing a comprehensive underfloor heating design service as well.

Comprehensive Control Features

The controller allows for setting, viewing, and adjusting time schedules for heating circuits, domestic hot water, and the heat pump’s on/off schedule. It also provides access to an in-built system configurator, supporting the heat pump's set-up and commissioning.

Remote Access and Diagnostics

Supplied with the Aerona Smart WiFi Hub, this controller enables remote control via a web-based portal or an app. Installers can access error codes, performance data, and system settings remotely, assisting with diagnostics, servicing, and maintenance.
