Why MCS?
The Microgeneration Certification Scheme (“MCS”) is the UK heat pump industry quality standard, and provides the pathway to access Government funding such as the renewable heat incentive, as well as a pathway to Building Control approval. For sole traders, or businesses for whom heat pump installations represents a small proportion of their usual business, obtaining MCS certification represents a significant investment in time and responsibility.
