Kensa 3kW Shoebox Ground Source Heat Pump

We were approached by a self builder, who was nearing the completion of a passive house,  in a village just south of Lincoln. The property had a Mechanical Ventilation and Heat Recovery system installed, which incorporated a 2.5kW heat exchanger, to provide heating to the entire property.

Kensa 3kW Shoebox Ground Source Heat Pump

The client had a pretty good idea of what he wanted and to that end, had already purchased his Kensa 3kW Shoebox Ground Source Heat Pump directly from Kensa,and made arrangements to install a single 100m borehole in his back garden. We completed the MCS design, to confirm the borehole sizing and calculated the heat loss for the property at 2.5kW As a domestic installation, ensuring the Kensa 3kW Shoebox Ground Source Heat Pump was sufficient to cover the heating and hot water generation for the property.

Once the bore hole and header pipework was installed by the borehole company, the installation was very straightforward. Room for a small plantroom was allocated for the Kensa 3kW Shoebox Ground Source Heat Pump, 300 litre domestic hot water cylinder and 100 litre buffer, as well as the property’s MVHR system and other renewable technologies that the client had incorporated into the property.

The client was able to apply for and will benefit from the domestic RHI for the next 7 years, which should more than cover the cost of the heat pump installation. The combination of Kensa 3kW Shoebox Ground Source Heat Pump, MVHR, solar PV panels and battery power storage installed in the property will ensure minimum running costs.
