Can you get an MCS certificate for a heat pump after installation? Unfortunately, no. An MCS certification must be issued at the time of installation by a certified installer. For housebuilders and developers, planning for MCS from the start ensures compliance with Building Regulations, improves SAP and EPC ratings, supports warranties, and provides homeowners with reliable post-installation support. Learn how to achieve full MCS compliance while using your existing plumbing team.

We will still be offering limited technical support through this time and below we outline how and when technical support will be available, and where you can source spare parts.
The Government is currently consulting on its new Future Homes Standard, which includes proposals to increase the energy efficiency requirements for new homes in 2020. Part of this includes an update to Part L of the Building Regulations, which is the section that relates to energy efficiency, and in particular the changes that will make heat pumps the go-to heating system for developers.
