Award-winning British ground source heat pump manufacturer, Kensa Heat Pumps, have secured the largest number of single phase ground source heat pump approvals on the Energy Networks Association (ENA) Connect & Notify database.
Connect & Notify approved heat pumps are deemed to be suited to DNO electricity supplies without the requirement for upgrades. As electrically driven technology, the mass electrification of heat with heat pumps will inevitably have an impact on the electricity grid; the ENA Connect & Notify approval identifies Kensa’s Evo and Shoebox ground source heat pump ranges to be of low grid impact, enabling their installation without any prior approval requirement from local DNOs.
The move means Cornwall-based manufacturer Kensa has the largest number of ENA Connect & Notify approved ground source heat pump products in the UK enabling simpler, quicker and lower cost ground source heat pump installations.
Kensa Heat Pumps’ Technical Director, Guy Cashmore, comments:
"Installers of heat pumps will be familiar with the complications, hassle and potential additional costs of a heat pump not being ENA Connect & Notify approved.
Meantime, homeowners may not be aware that the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) requires evidence of District Network Operator (DNO) ENA approval. For heat pumps which are not Connect & Notify approved, this approval process could cost the homeowner thousands, maybe even tens of thousands of pounds, along with substantial delays.
Kensa’s significant Connect & Notify status eliminates these additional cost risks for the consumer and hassle for installers; this is a fantastic opportunity for the UK’s adoption of ground source heat pumps."
