GAH - MCS Approved

MCS Approved

Internationally Recognised
“The MCS is an internationally recognised quality assurance scheme which demonstrates to your customers that your company is committed to meeting rigorous and tested standards. It was designed with input from installer and product representatives. Similar to the Gas Safe Register, the MCS gives you a mark of competency and demonstrates to your customers that you can install to the highest quality every time.”

GAH is an MCS approved installer of heat pumps. Apart from providing you with reassurance of the quality of our service and products, what does this mean for you?

Accreditation
We will consult with you and carry out a site survey to assess which system is right for you and your requirements.

Verification
We will return to site to commission the heat pump and ensure that it is working correctly and that you understand how to use the equipment. We will hand over any necessary instruction manuals.

We will complete all relevant documentation and register your heat pump with MCS.

Government grants, such as the RHPP are only available to applicants whose products and installers are MCS approved.

Scheme Benefits

The MCS demonstrates quality and competence to customers. In this rapidly growing industry, installers and products that carry the MCS Mark are likely to be seen as the preferred option in the market place. This is because MCS is linked to many of the key factors driving demand, such as:
Feed-In Tariffs which will provide guaranteed payments to individuals, business and communities for small-scale electricity generation. For technologies where there is an MCS standard, both the technology and the installer must be MCS certificated to be eligible.
The Renewable Heat Incentive is planned for 2011 and will provide cash back to individuals, business and communities for renewable heat generation. The Government has indicated that the Renewable Heat Incentive might be linked to MCS products and installers.
The Code for Sustainable Homes, which is a mandatory requirement for all newly built homes to meet sustainability ratings, including ratings for energy and CO2 emissions. MCS certificated technologies can be used to meet the requirements of this Code.
Planning permission for consumers for certain renewable energy technologies has now been made a lot simpler thanks to permitted development rights introduced in England and Scotland.
The Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) for Energy Rating of Dwellings recognises MCS certificated products when determining whether products are eligible for inclusion in SAP assessments.
