I have a few people interested and recent quotes from local MCS installers are quoting ~£13000 for supply and fit... leaving £5500 for the individuals to pay themselves....

I have my own VAT registered building maintenance company but just wondering if this is worth it?

What steps one would need to take? And I assume one would need to go on a supplier course or similar?

I could install heat pumps to my wife's 2 retail premises and my own commercial unit, and I have my own house to renovate once the purchase goes through]]> MCS Registration? https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18035&Focus=304367#Comment_304367 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18035&Focus=304367#Comment_304367 Thu, 23 Nov 2023 11:30:36 +0000 philedge MCS Registration? https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18035&Focus=304368#Comment_304368 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18035&Focus=304368#Comment_304368 Thu, 23 Nov 2023 12:06:59 +0000 bhommels Most installers talk a lot of nonsense on heat pumps and the quotes are sky high. Suddenly I now understand why people are hesitant to take the plunge and go for a heat pump, and where all the scare stories originate from.
I don't think the industry is doing itself any favours in trying to rake in the profits like this. I can see why you would want to become MCS certified!]]> MCS Registration? https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18035&Focus=304376#Comment_304376 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18035&Focus=304376#Comment_304376 Thu, 23 Nov 2023 18:47:50 +0000 revor MCS Registration? https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18035&Focus=304382#Comment_304382 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18035&Focus=304382#Comment_304382 Fri, 24 Nov 2023 09:04:48 +0000 jon MCS Registration? https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18035&Focus=304394#Comment_304394 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18035&Focus=304394#Comment_304394 Sat, 25 Nov 2023 11:53:52 +0000 Victorianeco

I don't actually know which courses are accepted by MCS, but I know my builder has recently got himself registered too. Presumably a heatgeek course (£650ish IIRC) would be fine, but there are presumably others.

The heatpunk software is a relatively easy way of doing the design work/sums. Or you can just use the MCS spreadsheets.

I think getting registered is probably a good idea for any green-minded builder that can cope with the sums.]]>
