Help shape the future of clean heating

The UK’s heating system is outdated - costing people and the planet too much. Since 1999, Kensa has been transforming how homes and communities are heated and cooled through affordable, low-carbon ground source heat pump solutions.

Today, we’re responsible for over half of the UK’s ground source heat pump installations. Our networked heat pump systems are one of the cleanest, most cost-effective ways to decarbonise heat at scale, and by 2040, up to 8,000 homes a week could be connecting to these networks.

Join us and play a meaningful role in accelerating the transition to a cleaner, more sustainable future.
