Kensa Engineering, designs, manufactures, and tests heat pump systems for installation throughout the UK. Most are small-scale ground-source heat pumps (up to 32 kW), which are supplied in kit form so that they can be installed by non-specialist plumbers and builders. Larger and specialist systems are also supplied. To date over 1,000 systems with a total capacity of over 16 MW have been sold, providing about 26 GWh/year of heat and saving 3,600 tonnes/year CO2.
