Kensa launch their new Shoebox NX Ground Source Heat Pump
Kensa have officially launched their new small and compact Shoebox NX Ground Source Heat Pump.
Kensa say their Shoebox NX is the latest development in ground source heat pump technology and that it can deliver the efficiency of a large heat pump, but in one that’s small enough to fit in a cupboard.
The company say it has been designed with mass heat pump rollout and ease of installation in mind outlining that factory production of the NX can be readily scaled up to deliver 30,000 units per year, with further expansion planned. They also say it can be easily fitted by most heating and plumbing engineers without extensive training.
Kensa say that their solution of Networked Ground Source Heat Pumps, replicates the familiarity and accessibility of gas networks to help enable the mass rollout of heat pumps in the UK, by they say bringing low-cost renewable heating and cooling to almost any type of home, whether that’s a new build, a 19th-century Victorian terrace, a tenement or a high-rise urban flat. They have next to no above-ground presence and are already providing clean heating for new build homes and complex-to-decarbonise private and social retrofit properties.
Tamsin Lishman, Kensa Heat Pumps CEO, said:
“This is a game-changing heat pump designed for the UK. Until now, achieving mass heat pump rollout has been a complex challenge, but with the launch of our Shoebox NX, we’ve engineered a small, high-performance heat pump that’s ready to replace gas as the main home heating choice.
“When combined with our Networked Ground Source Heat Pumps solution, it unlocks cosy homes in the winter and cooler homes in the summer for almost anyone, and at low costs to the consumer.
“For 25 years Kensa has been pioneering Ground Source Heat Pump technology, and with the Shoebox NX we’re ready to deliver heat pumps for everyone, cut household carbon emissions and make green home heating a reality.”
John Bromley, managing director – clean energy strategy & investments at Legal and General Capital, said:
“Housing requires some of the most substantial and immediate overhauls of any industry to improve standards, reduce running costs for consumers, and to reach net zero. The Kensa Group’s highly efficient, networked ground-source heating and cooling will play a key part in this transition.
“As an experienced energy transition investor, we are proud to be supporting Kensa’s growth and we are delighted to see the launch of their latest ground-breaking Shoebox NX heat pump, a culmination of years of expertise and development.
“We share Kensa’s ambition to deliver reliable, efficient heating solutions for consumers, developers, housing providers, and more - taking us a step closer to decarbonising UK properties at scale.”
