Grant heating solutions helping to decarbonise homes in Ireland

Leading heating technology manufacturer Grant has been providing innovative, efficient and carbon reducing heating solutions for over 45 years. In recent years, Grant has largely transformed into a renewable heating company and its award-winning heating technologies are playing an important part in helping homes become sustainable on the journey towards a zero-carbon future.

The Grant team works closely with local authorities and developers across the country to support social housing projects, new build developments and retrofit projects. This includes offering a free of charge heating design service which will provide the developer with an integrated heating package for each individual new build home. The main heat source specified by Grant for a new build or retrofit project will be a A+++ rated, Grant Aerona3 R32 air to water, air source heat pump.

The Grant Aerona3 heat pump is a popular choice for new build housing due to its cleaner, more environmentally friendly performance and ability to deliver a fully decarbonised, resource efficient home heating system. A heat pump can also be an efficient option for older homes, which undertake a deep retrofit.

Grantʼs diverse range of renewable heating technologies work together seamlessly, to provide a fully integrated, reliable, and efficient heating system. For new build properties, underfloor heating is usually the heat emitter of choice as it works effectively at low temperatures so pairs well with a highly efficient Grant Aerona3 heat pump to conserve energy and maximise long term carbon and financial savings. Grant Afinia aluminium radiators are also paired easily with Grant heat pumps and are also commonly used in retrofit projects.

As a company, Grant is focused on educating those in the heating trade as well as homeowners of new and existing homes throughout Ireland on the importance of choosing renewable heating technology. As part of this focus, the company has diversified its education offering for installers, architects, engineers and local authorities, to include CPD courses available via its onsite Training Academy and online Grant eLearning Academy.

Testimonial from John Quigley, Executive Engineer, Regeneration Team, Roscommon County Council.

“We required outdoor sensory items for a recent community project with a tight deadline for completion. When we contacted Playchimes, from the outset their approach was very professional and they responded to our queries promptly. Seamus provided an excellent service with all items delivered to site in a timely manner. We have received positive feedback from all the groups using the equipment on both the quality of the materials and suitability for children with sensory needs”.

Testimonial from Geraldine, Keadue Community Sensory Garden, Co. Roscommon.

“The Sensory Panels are great; definitely get a lot of use, including my own children. They look really good within the Sensory Garden. Thanks for everything”.

Testimonial from Conor Reilly, Principal, Scoil Áine Naofa, Esker, Lucan, Co. Dublin.

“We purchased 6 magnetic wall games from Playchimes in February 2020 and they were an instant hit in the school. The children from all classes thoroughly enjoy playing with them. They are also very popular with children on sensory breaks with SNA's. Their durability is one of the reasons I purchased them for the school. They are outside in all weather conditions and have not changed one bit. They certainly brighten up our school and we are hoping to add to our collection in the future.”
