Grant UK has partnered with the Heat Pump Go MCS Umbrella Scheme to offer their G1 Installers MCS certification on Aerona heat pump installations. The partnership offers G1 Installers who are not MCS accredited themselves the option to provide their customers with an MCS certified Grant heat pump installation.
Heat Pump Go is an MCS Umbrella Scheme run by Abode Heat which helps installers to fulfil the requirements for achieving MCS certified installations. With demand for MCS certified installations increasing, as a result of consumers either seeking Government funding through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme or simply specifying that their heat pump is installed to the standards set by the Microgeneration Certification Scheme, installation companies are looking to meet this demand. Through their partnership with Heat Pump Go, Grant UK is providing their G1 Installers with a pathway to MCS certified heat pump installations for this customer base.
Grant UK is working with Heat Pump Go to give G1 Installers access to this MCS Umbrella Scheme at a discounted rate. G1 Installers who fulfil the eligibility requirements will work with both Abode Heat and Grant UK to achieve MCS sign-off on their Grant heat pump installations. Through the scheme, Abode Heat support installers with the design of an MCS compliant heat pump system and Grant UK support with one of their in-house Field Service Engineers completing the MCS compliance for commissioning and customer handover.
As well as achieving MCS certification on their Aerona installations in retrofits, renovations or self-build properties, G1 Installers can access many other benefits through this Grant UK Heat Pump Go partnership. Installers receive administrative support with the paperwork, they are provided with a room by room heat loss calculation for heat pump specification and a comprehensive quotation, the DNO application is completed on their behalf, and they receive on-site support with commissioning and the handover with the customer. For G1 Installers who are not MCS accredited themselves, this new offering provides an additional level of installer support from Grant UK.
“This partnership delivers many advantages to our installers,” comments Neil Sawers, Commercial Technical Manager at Grant UK. “It will not only allow G1 Installers to access additional business opportunities in the marketplace but it will also provide both installers and their customers with the peace of mind of an on-site customer handover with a member of Grant UK’s Field Service Engineers Team. Furthermore, G1 Installers can access this service at a discounted rate providing more value for money for their customers.”
“Making the move to heat pumps as easy as possible for installers and homeowners is so important,” says Ben Hodges, Business Development Director for Heat Pump Go. “This partnership is a significant step forward in removing the administrative burden of MCS compliance for many installers and homeowners.”
