Oil Boilers

Grant UK manufacture a range of different oil boilers that are suitable for different property types. Grant's oil-fired boilers are available in internal, external, combination, boiler house and wall hung models. Grant UK claim that homeowners can "achieve energy efficiencies of up to 94.5%", meaning that "homeowners can lower their fuel usage, reduce their fuel bills and lessen their greenhouse gas emissions".[5]

Air Source Heat Pumps

In 2010, Grant UK started to manufacture their first generation of air-to-water heat pumps, known as the Grant Aerona range. In 2018, Grant UK released their fourth generation of air source heat pumps, known as the Aerona³ R32 air source heat pump range.[6] Alongside heat pumps, Grant UK also manufacture Aerona Heating Control systems, which allow users to control their heat pumps with a smart controller.[7]

Hybrid Heating

Grant UK also manufacture hybrid products that combine traditional fossil fuel heating with the green advantage of an air source heat pump. The main benefit of this product is that it helps hard-to-heat homes reduce their reliance on fossil fuels. For instance, the VortexAir Hybrid incorporates the Aerona³ R32 air source heat pump with a low NOx Vortex oil boiler.
