Manufactured in Cornwall, the new Evo ground-source heat pump series builds upon Kensa's 18 years of experience designing heat pumps specifically for British properties.

Managing director Simon Lomax commented: "The Kensa Evo represents a significant step forward and is a testimony to the ingenuity of an engineering team that focuses exclusively on ground-source heat pumps. The Evo series is more efficient, and we have also worked hard to reduce noise levels to industry-leading levels. And we have not forgotten that the Evo must be simple to install and maintain."

According to Kensa, the series offers a 15% gain in efficiency in order to minimise running costs and maximise income via the UK government's Renewable Heat Incentive. The Kensa Evo is available to pre-order in January 2017 in 7kW, 9kW, 13kW and 15kW single-phase models.

Designed for larger new builds and renovation projects, the Evo will supplement Kensa's Shoebox 3kW and 6kW models, which are suited for smaller new builds.
