Ground Source Review: Bromford Phase Two
Following on from a 2015 scheme, Bromford Group commissioned Kensa Contracting to install Kensa ground source heat pumps into 20 properties spread across two locations in Didmarton and Bibury in Gloucestershire.
The positioning of the clusters of properties made the project perfect for utilising Kensa’s innovative shared ground loop array system featuring a communal borehole network with an individual ground source heat pump installed in every home. A single borehole drilled to a depth of 110m deep, provides each per pair of dwellings with a sustainable heat source.
Residents have also been very pleased with the installation of their new ground source heat pump systems:
Mr Neal said:
We’re very happy. It’s fantastic, so simple to use! It comes on at 7, and when I get up at 8 I turn it off as it’s toasty warm. On the old system I was on just two heaters at nights – the rest of the house was cold and I was paying £90 per month! The disruption is nothing like what we expected. All the workers were great, they moved all the furniture for me and did a great job, no trouble at all really.
