Unlock the benefits of a Grant renewable heating system with MCS certification on your Grant renewable install
G-CERT is a new scheme from Grant UK, through which Grant can certify renewable installations for MCS accreditation on behalf of the installer.
Under the G-CERT Scheme, engineers who meet the scheme’s criteria (please see below) can install RHI eligible systems without needing to be MCS accredited because Grant UK will provide the following:
To join G-CERT, installers must meet the following criteria:
The G-CERT Scheme is designed to offer support for installers with some of the benefits including:
The principal benefit for end-users will be having access to the Government’s Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive payments. All of Grant’s air source heat pumps, biomass boilers, solar thermal systems and VortexAir Hybrids are MCS approved and therefore eligible for the RHI. When these products are commissioned by an MCS accredited engineer, homeowners will be able to apply for RHI payments earning financial rewards for their renewable heating system.

In addition, products installed under the G-CERT Scheme will be eligible for guarantees of up to 5 years (subject to Terms and Conditions) so homeowners will benefit from years of reliable, sustainable home heating.
Homeowners will also have the added peace of mind that comes with efficient and effective compliance with MCS installation standards. MCS approved products must meet specific energy efficiency requirements and MCS accredited engineers must install and work within the parameters of high guideline standards. Grant UK are MCS accredited so when their in-house engineers attend site to complete the commissioning process, they will ensure that the MCS standards are being adhered to and applied.
Furthermore, MCS standards stipulate that their companies are members of a suitable consumer protection scheme. One such scheme is the Renewable Energy Consumer Code who have a set of standards which protect consumers who have renewable technologies fitted within their property. Grant Engineering (UK) Ltd are members of RECC so, under G-CERT, end-users benefit from added consumer protection.
