Heat pumps are recognised as vitally important in helping the UK achieve its net carbon zero target, with the government aiming for 600,000 of them to be installed a year by 2028 - a significant increase in current market volumes.
Every ground source heat pump installed is the equivalent of taking a combustion engine car off the road. To date over one million tonnes of carbon will be saved as a result of Kensa's ground source heat pump installations across social housing, new build developments, private retrofit homes, and businesses in the UK.
Kensa Group CEO, Simon Lomax, said: "Kensa has passionately advocated for a long time that ground source heat pumps are best placed to deliver low carbon heat to the UK. There is a particularly welcome focus from Government in ensuring a large proportion are manufactured here in the UK to boost our green economy.
"In response, we are committed to scaling up production to meet increased demand and fulfil the government's ambition to ‘build back greener'. Our mission is to connect thousands more people in homes and businesses across the country to cleaner, greener, affordable heat.
"Our teams have been working hard to deliver fantastic outcomes over the last few months. In the midst of the challenges of a stretched global supply chain, a labour shortage, and significantly increased volumes, Kensa celebrated the highest monthly turnover ever and continues to break records in UK heat pump production."
Kensa has been manufacturing award-winning, ground source heat pumps in Cornwall since 1999 and pioneering the adoption of this environmentally-friendly technology for over two decades.
With a product range designed for UK properties and specialist installation division working on large-scale multiple occupancy projects, market share has grown steadily over the years to 50 per cent, bolstered by the Group's partnership with Legal & General in 2020.
To match the rapid growth, the manufacturer has added well over 60 jobs in the past year and is continually recruiting.
