Designed to support non-MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) accredited installers in entering the growing heat pump market, Warmflow has introduced its Heat Pump Assist+. This initiative is facilitated through an MCS umbrella scheme operated by Warmflow’s accredited partner, Microgeneration Support Services (MSS).
According to the company, the Heat Pump Assist+ programme enables installers without MCS certification to carry out MCS-compliant installations under MSS’s accreditation. This arrangement allows homeowners to access government incentives, such as the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), which offers grants of up to £7,500 in England and Wales, and up to £9,000 through Scotland’s Home Energy Scotland scheme. By partnering with MSS, installers can expand their services without the immediate need for individual MCS accreditation.
The company says that MSS provides a full suite of services to ensure installations meet MCS standards, including system design, compliance documentation, and commissioning. This support is designed to allow installers to focus on the physical installation, while MSS handles the administrative aspects.
In addition to the Heat Pump Assist+ programme, Warmflow offers free air source heat pump training to empower installers with the necessary knowledge and skills. This training complements the support provided by MSS, ensuring that installers are equipped to deliver MCS-compliant installations.
