The future of community heating

Ground source heat pumps Neighbourhood networks

At Kensa, we're transforming community heating with networked ground source heat pumps, offering affordable, low-carbon warmth to entire neighbourhoods. Our Heat the Streets project in Cornwall proved this approach cuts costs, simplifies decarbonisation, and makes sustainable heating accessible. We’re scaling this solution nationwide to create greener, more sustainable communities.

Transforming community heating

Affordable warmth for every home
Our networked heat pump system provides efficient, low-cost heating for entire neighbourhoods, ensuring everyone benefits from a sustainable energy solution.
Scalable solutions tailored to communities
Proven through our Heat the Streets project, our systems can be scaled to meet the needs of any neighbourhood, delivering warmth and reliability to multiple homes.
Cleaner energy for a greener tomorrow
By tapping into renewable ground energy, our heat pump networks replace fossil fuels, reducing emissions and paving the way for a carbon-neutral future for your community.
Customisable solutions for diverse community needs
Whether in dense urban areas or remote rural villages, Kensa tailors its systems to meet the specific challenges and opportunities of each neighbourhood.

Neighbourhood networks benefits

Reliable heating & hot water
Obtaining heat from the ground is more efficient than obtaining heat from the cold air. That's why ground source heat pumps perform better than their air source heat pump counterparts.
Sharing infrastructure saves costs
The heat network costs are shared by all on the network, keeping installations costs low. Utility companies may front the installation costs in exchange for a standing charge to access the neighbourhood network.
Scalable delivery
This solution is scalable and additional properties can be added to the neighbourhood network when their current heating system reaches its end of life.
Heat redistribution
Heat can be moved around from one source to another. For example, the waste heat from a data centre, or supermarket refridgeration can be transferred into the neighbourhood network to be used to heat homes.

Low carbon energy systems

Networked heat pumps explained

Networked Heat Pumps can deliver efficient, sustainable heating to millions of homes—delivering warmth that's three times more efficient than gas boilers.

Ideal for new-build developments, terraced streets, tower blocks, and tenements, they overcome the space limitations of air source heat pumps and make district heating practical, even in mid-density housing
