UK ground source heat pump specialist, Kensa has set up its first dedicated in-house drilling service. The company says it will enable it to meet the anticipated rise in demand for the mass-scale deployment of ground source heat pumps, ensuring rapid, affordable and high-quality GSHP solutions that can be delivered efficiently and at scale.
Kensa will continue to work with its existing drilling suppliers, but investment in its own in-house drilling capabilities will help to drive down costs and add resilience to the existing supply chain.
It is claimed that by 2040, up to 8,000 UK homes a week could be connecting to ground source heat pumps, primarily through a networked heat pump model which is expected to attract over £100 billion in investment and create tens of thousands of jobs.
Camilla Barrow, Chief Operations Officer at Kensa, comments: “Through this new capability we’re delivering certainty for our clients and will be as prepared as possible to efficiently service the expected increase in demand for ground source heat pump systems, supplying more homes with heating that’s better for people and the planet.
“Over the years we’ve built strong relationships with drilling suppliers across the UK, and we remain committed to these. Launching our own drilling function complements those existing relationships and puts the industry in a brilliant position to decarbonise heat at the scale required. Through this new function, Kensa is future-proofing its operations and continuing to lead the way in the transition to low-carbon heating.”
