Grow with our MCS Umbrella Scheme
The heat pump market is growing fast, driven by government initiatives and the shift to low-carbon heating.
Using our MCS Umbrella Scheme lets you start offering certified ASHP installations faster than gaining independent accreditation.
For installers already working with ASHPs, the scheme streamlines compliance and paperwork, giving you more time to take on additional projects and deliver installations efficiently. This means whether you’re new to the market or experienced, you can expand your services, capture more work, and grow your business with full support every step of the way.

Overcoming complexities of heat pump projects with the MCS Umbrella Scheme
Each retrofit heat pump project will be unique. A room-by-room survey is required to establish the heat loss of the property and size the right ASHP. It's also vital in order to assess the suitability of existing radiators and pipework. A suitable outdoor space for the heat pump is also needed to ensure clearances are met for normal operation, future maintenance and any noise considerations.
These complexities, as well as the overall MCS paperwork and compliance, can make delivering MCS-certified projects feel challenging. An in-depth site survey would cover these aspects and more, to ensure good planning, which will support the overall system design.
Our MCS Umbrella Scheme takes care of all this for you. We provide support at every stage, from initial planning, through to full system design, completing the MCS compliant paperwork throughout, in readiness for the customer handover. As part of this, we offer two on-site visits to ensure everything is installed and commissioned to the right standard. This means you can focus on delivering quality installations whilst knowing that the admin and compliance is taken care of.
Enhancing your reputation with the MCS Umbrella Scheme
Your customers will likely want to apply for certain grants to help them with the cost of an air source heat pump installation. A good example is the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), which allows eligible homes to access a grant of up to £7500. These incentives will require you to be MCS-registered or be operating under an MCS Umbrella Scheme like ours.
Carrying out projects through the Baxi MCS Umbrella Scheme demonstrates a commitment to quality. Your customers can take advantage of grants and incentives whilst also having confidence that your work is carried out to MCS standards.
What does that mean for you and your business? Happy customers and a reputation that will continue to grow.
