The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is a government-proposed scheme to deliver grants of up to £7,500 towards heat pump installations in UK households. The scheme, which was known as the Clean Heat Grant, is intended to replace the Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) from April 2022 to 2028.
The ECO supports retrofit efficiency works in the domestic sector with an upfront grant, with a particular focus on vulnerable consumer groups & hard-to-treat homes.
The Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme is a fund dedicated to heat decarbonisation & capital energy efficiency projects in non-domestic public sector buildings across England.
Through this scheme, an investor funds the network – known as Shared Ground Loop Arrays – to cover the most expensive aspect of the project. In return, the investor can charge connection fees if they wish.
Kensa Contracting is the UK’s only dedicated delivery partner and contractor of large-scale ground source heat pump installations. Specialising in multiple-unit projects with Shared Ground Loop Arrays, Kensa Contracting has a direct supply of ground source heat pumps from Kensa Heat Pumps.

Heat pump case studies with Kensa Contracting
Heating replacements across 8 tower blocks
Across 400 flats in Enfield, tenants were burdened with pricey and inefficient electric heating. Concerned about tenant welfare, Enfield Council knew they needed to take action.
With the help of Kensa Contracting and ENGIE, each household was fitted with a tiny and quiet Shoebox heat pump. Tenants had simple controls, independent bills, and affordable heating – saving them between £450 – £750 every year. No wonder the scheme won District Heating Project of the Year 2019.
The village of Kinlet lacked affordable housing. Shropshire Rural Housing, a charitable housing association, decided to address this issue by building 8 sustainable and energy-efficient homes in the area.
In a project with Kensa Contracting, a Shoebox heat pump was installed into each home, connected through a district heating scheme of Shared Ground Loop Arrays. Following the project’s success, each household is expected to save up to 30% on running costs compared to fossil fuels.
16 bungalows in Shropshire were off-gas and heated by expensive electric heaters. To reduce their tenants’ heating bills, Bromford Housing Association asked for Kensa Contracting’s help to install a network of Shoebox heat pumps – all of which would connect through Shared Ground Loop Arrays.
Kensa Contracting supported the replacement project, which involved drilling 8 boreholes, to affordably heat each bungalow. Once installed, Kensa’s heat pump contractors showed tenants how to operate the systems.
*The 17kW is ‘apply to connect’ due to C&N’s 32A power limit, but meets the high standards of C&N approval – DNOs will usually cover necessary upgrade costs.
