1.1 General Information
The Grant Aerona Heat Pump is a low
water content – low temperature heat
source, designed to be highly efficient
when installed and used in line with
these installation and user instructions.
It is important that these installation
instructions are understood and
followed to ensure reliable operation in
all weather conditions. Failure to do so
will result in erratic temperature swings,
poor efficiency and an unhappy
customer.
It is not within the scope of this manual
to design the heating system or provide
any advice regarding the layout of the
system or any of the controls required
for any individual heating system.
These instructions do not replace the
installation or users manuals for any
additional components used in the
design of your system e.g. cylinders,
motorised valves, programmers, solar
thermal devices, buffers, etc.
Grant Engineering UK Ltd offer a design
service for an additional fee – please
contact [email protected] for more
information or visit our website at
www.grantuk.com Note: this service
is subject to the terms and conditions in
force at the time of the design.
These instructions must be left with the
householder for their reference.

years, covering parts and labour. When
making a claim against this warranty,
the following information must be
provided at the initial point of contact.
• Appliance model number
• Appliance Serial number
• Date of Installation
• Date of Commissioning (if different)

Refer to Section 17 for full details of the
Grant Heat Pump warranty.
1.3 Important Advice
1. It is essential that the full layout of
the system is understood before the
installation of any component is
undertaken. If you are in any doubt,
please stop and seek advice from a
qualified heating engineer or from
Grant Engineering UK Ltd. Please
note that Grant Engineering will not
be able to offer specific advice
about your system unless we
designed it. In this case, we will
always refer you to seek the advice
of a qualified system designer.
2. The Heat Pump must be installed
and commissioned in accordance
with these installation instructions.
Deviations of any kind will invalidate
the warranty and may cause an
unsafe situation to occur. Please
seek advice from Grant Engineering
UK Ltd if any of these installation
instructions cannot be followed for
whatever reason.
3. The heat pump contains high
pressures and high temperatures
during normal working conditions.
Care must be taken when
accessing the internal workings of
the heat pump.
4. The heat pump contains an
electrically driven fan which rotates
at high speed. Disconnect the heat
pump from the electrical supply
before removing the top cover.
1.4 Immersion Heater
All Grant Aerona Heat pumps are
supplied with a factory fitted 3kW
immersion element. This is designed to
operate at low ambient air temperatures
to increase the output of the unit to
meet the design heat load. Refer to
Section 11 of these instructions for
details of the automatic operation of the
immersion element.
If required, all Grant Aerona Heat
pumps are available with a 6kW back-
up immersion element (in place of the
standard 3kW unit).
This is a factory fitted option ONLY and
must be specified when ordering the
heat pump.
For the starting and running current,
along with the required MCB rating/type
for units with either the 3kW or 6kW
immersion elements refer to Section 8
(page 21) of these instructions.

Grant Aerona heat pumps should be stored and
