SMART CONTROLLERS
COMMUNICATING IN REAL TIME WITH THE R290 HEAT PUMP, THE AERONA SMART CONTROLLER MODULATES OUTPUT BASED ON BOTH INDOOR AND OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE READINGS… Taking a closer look at the Grant Aerona Smart Controller
As sustainable technologies become standard across the construction industry, electricians are increasingly being asked to install systems that not only perform efficiently but also integrate seamlessly with modern homes. Grant’s Aerona R290 air-source heat pump, which has already been praised for its low-carbon credentials, delivers even greater energy savings and system intelligence when combined with the Aerona Smart Controller, a weather- compensated interface designed to maximise efficiency and user comfort. Unlike basic thermostats that simply switch a system on or off, the Aerona Smart Controller communicates in real time with the R290 heat pump. It modulates output based on both indoor and outdoor temperature readings, allowing the system to adapt as conditions change. For electricians, this means installing a heating setup that automatically fine-tunes itself for efficiency, cutting down on callbacks whilst helping clients see real savings on their energy bills. The controller features a sleek wall- mounted unit with a 4.5” colour touchscreen and supports remote access via mobile app and web portal. That means homeowners and installers can monitor and adjust the system from anywhere. For service electricians, this remote connectivity can simplify troubleshooting and reduce the need for site visits.
The Aerona Smart Controller helps to deliver smarter operation, simpler installs and a better experience for the homeowner.
“Grant’s smart control technology doesn’t just make heating systems greener, it makes installs cleaner, more reliable, more efficient and future ready.”
From an installation perspective, the Aerona R290 pairs well with simplified, open-loop heating layouts. In new builds, this means no need for TRVs, zone valves or overly complex wiring. A single thermostat per floor is often enough. The system takes advantage of the building’s thermal mass, reducing energy-wasting start-stop cycles and extending the lifespan of the components. For electricians involved in
performance. It helps to deliver smarter operation, simpler installs and a better experience for the homeowner. In short, Grant’s smart control technology doesn’t just make heating systems greener, it makes installs cleaner, more reliable, more efficient and future ready. Key features of the Aerona Smart Controller: • 4.5” colour touchscreen interface • App and web remote access (WiFi hub required) • Weather compensation • Built-in support tools for setup and diagnostics • Up to 100m wireless range from heat
the full system specification or retrofit projects, the Aerona Smart Controller is not just an optional accessory, it’s the key to unlocking true heat pump
