Kensa partners with heating provider Sureserve

UK: Ground-source heat pump manufacturer Kensa has formed a new partnership with Sureserve the Dratford-based provider of sustainable heating. 

The new partnership is designed to help social housing providers and public bodies across the UK accelerate the decarbonisation of heating and reduce residents’ energy bills.

Sureserve is one of the UK’s leading providers of renewable energy, energy efficiency and compliance services for social housing.

The collaboration combines Kensa’s expertise in ground-source heat pumps with Sureserve’s strength in installations and maintenance to deliver low-carbon, affordable heating at scale, especially in flats and housing clusters where it makes the most significant impact.

Together, they intend to deliver a complete, end-to-end solution – from feasibility, design and funding support to quality installation and long-term servicing and maintenance.

The partnership complements work with numerous UK housing associations and local authorities, including L&Q Group, Clarion, Southern Housing Group, Aberdeenshire Council, Haringey Council, Kensington and Chelsea, and Thurrock Council.

According to commercial director Emma Nicklin, Sureserve installed more than 1,700 heat pumps across the UK in 2024. “Together with Kensa, we’ll help create social housing which is both environmentally friendly and financially sustainable. We are proud of this partnership, which supports our aim to tackle climate change and champion for residents nationwide,” she said.

Tamsin Lishman, CEO at Kensa added: “This partnership is about more than delivery, it’s about driving bold, credible change at scale. By combining our expertise, we’re not just making low carbon heating possible—we’re making it practical, affordable and a scalable reality for the homes that need it most.”
