How These 100 Year Old Apartments Bust Heat Pump Myths!

In this episode, Robert and the team visit the 1913 Sutton Dwellings estate in Kensington, Central London, where Kensa, in partnership with Clarion Housing, installed ground source heat pumps in 81 flats. This is the oldest block of social housing flats in the UK to utilise a networked heat pump system, challenging myths that heat pumps can't be installed in flats and old buildings, or areas with limited outdoor space and dense urban environments.
