The Importance of Choosing an MCS Registered Installer for Your Air Source Heat Pump

With climate change being a pressing issue and the UK government pushing towards more sustainable energy solutions, many homeowners are turning to renewable heating technologies like air source heat pumps (ASHPs). ASHPs offer an efficient way to heat your home by extracting heat from the outside air, even at low temperatures, to keep your indoors warm and reduce overall carbon emissions.

When it’s time to take the step toward installing an ASHP, the installer you choose is as crucial as the system itself. That’s where we, AJS Energy of Colchester, Essex, make a vital difference. We’re not just any installation company; we take pride in being an MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) registered business. But why is our MCS accreditation important for you?

The Value of MCS Certification


As an industry-recognised quality assurance scheme, MCS certification signifies that an installer has the competence and dedication to perform installations to stringent standards. It’s an assurance that your ASHP will be fitted with a focus on high-quality workmanship and adherence to all the relevant safety and performance regulations.

Unlocking Government Grants and Incentives


By enlisting our MCS registered services, you become eligible for enticing government grants and financial incentives available to UK homeowners. Currently, you might be able to claim a significant grant of up to £7,500.00 to support the installation of renewable energy technologies like ASHPs. It’s essential to know that these incentives are only accessible if your installation is completed by an MCS certified engineer like those at AJS Energy.

The Risks of Non-MCS Installations


We sometimes hear of engineers who offer ASHP installations without MCS registration, potentially at a lower upfront cost. Opting for such a service can lead to several disadvantages. Missing out on the government grants is just one aspect; the risk of sub-par installation quality can lead to performance issues, unnecessary safety risks, and may end up costing more in the long run due to potential system inefficiencies or required rectifications.

Our Commitment at AJS Energy


At AJS Energy, our commitment extends beyond just installing an ASHP in your home. Being MCS registered is part of our pledge to provide you with an installation that meets all the necessary standards and qualifications, ensuring you not only qualify for government-backed financial support but also benefit from a system that operates at peak efficiency.

In Conclusion


When considering an ASHP for your home, our MCS accreditation should be at the forefront of your decision-making process. It’s not just about the potential for government grants—it’s about confidence in the quality and legality of the installation. Through our certified service, we offer assurance in the excellence and integrity of our work. We are dedicated to contributing to a greener future and helping you make an informed, beneficial, and government-supported enhancement to your home.

My new Vaillant boiler was installed this week by AJS Gas and Heating Services Ltd and I found it to be an extremely easy process. The workmen who came were very pleasant and polite and carried out the work seamlessly from beginning to end with very little mess. I have a lovely new boiler which works much more efficiently than my old one did.
