A number of Government initiatives have been introduced in recent years aimed at promoting awareness of renewable energy. The Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) is a good example of this, and is also backed by the Department of Energy and Climate Change who are committed to widespread use of green energy. Air Source Heat Pumps [ASHP’s] supplied and installed by Multi Building Services Ltd, are eligible for MCS, and we are accredited MCS heating engineers. This indicates a high level of professionalism and competence, while ensuring that the required standards of products and services are fulfilled.
Microgeneration is being incorporated into properties, especially newly constructed ones in the hope of limiting the UK’s reliance on fossil fuels. Air Source Heat Pumps [ASHP’s] have emerged as a major player in the bid for natural energy production and increased sustainability.
By choosing to utilise systems such as Air Source Heat Pumps [ASHP’s] homeowners are not only saving money, but protecting the environment, and helping to reduce carbon emissions. These heat pump systems are eligible when it comes to the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS], the Feed In Tariff and the Renewable Heat Incentive. Installers of ASHP’s need to be MCS certified before homeowners can benefit from these schemes, to find out more information check out the MCS website.
ASHP’s are frequently used with underfloor heating, giving warmth and comfort even when temperatures drop. We have highly qualified heating engineers and skilled plumbing specialists among our team who all of course provide excellent customer service.
