Boasting three-phase models up to 75kW, the series’ modular units provide flexibility to match and balance the heating demands of commercial buildings.
To efficiently meet fluctuating demands, multiple units can be connected together in a cascaded system.
Simple integration with new or existing radiators, fan coils or underfloor heating. Multiple units can also be controlled via a Building Management System (BMS).
Depending on your project type, there is a range of funding options that we can advise you on. Visit this page to explore different types of funding.
The Commercial Plant Room matches heating and hot water demands of up to 60°C. The series is comprised of modular three-phase models that deliver tailored outputs, flexibility and compatibility in large or commercial buildings.
The Plant Room is the perfect candidate for a cascaded system. Efficiently fulfilling fluctuating demands, multiple Plant Rooms can work together to deliver large space heating and hot water demands at the same time.
With multiple heat pumps, heating and hot water can be provided to different parts of a building simultaneously through a Building Management System (BMS).
Designed for ease, the Plant Room is compatible with a building’s heating distribution system, such as fan coils, underfloor and air handling units.

The Plant Room offers low running costs, lack of annual servicing requirements and minimal maintenance over its 20-year design life.
See costs & paybackOn top of a 5-year guarantee, every Kensa heat pump comes with technical support for life. This includes anything from advice for installers to post-installation guidance for end users.
DNO-friendly ‘soft starts’ are fitted as standard to prevent electricity flickers and ensure peak starting load is minimised.
A fixed speed compressor compresses the ground’s low-grade heat and delivers real-time efficiencies, reliability and long product life.

A fixed speed compressor upgrades the ground’s low-grade heat energy, optimised for the best efficiency at a fixed output.
The high temperature model delivers heating up to 60°C, which is ideal for commercial buildings with high heat demands.
High specification acoustic hoods to dampen sound and isolate vibrations.
Weather compensation – which efficiently adjusts the temperatures to make up for heat loss on colder days – is fitted as standard.
