Through a new partnership, Kensa will be offering the Passiv Smart Thermostat to give heat pump users smarter, optimised control, out of the box. The company’s say the partnership gives homeowners and residents intuitive, intelligent, heat pump-specific controls that cut heating bills by up to 30%, while supporting a more flexible, lower-carbon electricity grid.
Kensa customers will also gain access to Passiv’s Greener Grid Payment scheme, which rewards households for helping balance the electricity grid during periods of constraint.
Ned Lamb, Director of Commercial Strategy at Kensa, said: “Our mission is to deliver heating that’s better for everyone – for Kensa that means offering a solution that offers the lowest bills with no sacrifices on comfort. Being able to specify the Passiv Smart Thermostat with no extras needed means homeowners and residents can make the most of smarter tariffs and flexibility markets, helping them earn money back, while enjoying year-round comfort.”
The Passiv Smart Thermostat works ‘out of the box’ with Kensa heat pumps. The company says no additional hardware is required.
Ian Rose, Sales and Strategy Director at Passiv UK, said: “This is the future of home energy. With smart controls built in, heat pumps take care of themselves – keeping homes comfortable, cutting energy use, and even letting homeowners earn money when the grid needs them most.”
