Kensa Heat Pumps: The UK's Ground Source Specialists
Kensa Heat Pumps, founded in 1999 and based in Truro, Cornwall, is the United Kingdom's only manufacturer dedicated exclusively to ground source heat pump technology. This singular focus has made Kensa the UK's leading expert in geothermal heating and cooling, with products installed in thousands of homes, social housing developments, and commercial buildings.
Pioneering Shared Ground Loop Arrays
Kensa is credited with pioneering Shared Ground Loop Array (SGLA) technology, which enables multiple homes in a development to share a single ground loop installation. This communal approach dramatically reduces the per-home cost of geothermal installations, making ground source heat pumps viable for social housing, apartment buildings, and new housing developments where individual ground loops would be impractical or cost-prohibitive.
Product Range
- Shoebox Series — Compact ground source heat pumps designed specifically for apartments and smaller homes, small enough to fit in a kitchen cupboard
- Evo Series — Residential ground source heat pumps for individual homes, available in multiple capacities
- Hybrid Series — Systems that combine ground source technology with supplementary heating for optimal efficiency
