Eurovent helps Daikin A2A heat pumps achieve MCS listing
8th September 2026
UK: Daikin has become the first successful applicant to have multi-split air-to-air heat pumps listed on the MCS Product Directory through the Eurovent Certification route.
A total of 65 residential multi-split and multi+ combinations are now listed, each pairing a single outdoor unit with two to five wall-mounted indoor units to suit a wide range of home layouts. The certified systems include Daikin’s Perfera indoor unit.
Forty-five multi-split combinations cover everything from small compact properties to five-zone whole-house systems. A further 20 multi+ combinations bring heating, cooling and hot water together in a
single system, connecting up to four indoor units and a domestic hot water tank to one outdoor unit. Between them, they suit the kinds of homes a conventional radiator system can struggle to reach, from flats and smaller terraced houses to properties with limited space or awkward pipework routes.
The successful listing lays the groundwork for A2A heat pumps to play a fuller role in the UK’s low-carbon heating mix as the MCS scheme completes its expansion to cover the technology.
Product listing is a required first step towards A2A heat pumps becoming eligible for government support under schemes such as the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
As an MCS certification body, independent HVACR product certifier Eurovent Certification managed the transfer of Daikin’s existing Eurovent-certified product data into the MCS system, streamlining the process as no additional product re-testing was required.
According to Eurovent Certification, the process reduces duplication, time and cost for manufacturers while ensuring impartial verification of performance data.
This approach can facilitate access to multiple certification schemes where applicable, including Eurovent Certified Performance, HP Keymark and NF for Heat Pumps.
As the MCS framework for A2A matures, further products are expected to follow, broadening the choice of certified low-carbon heating options available to UK households.
“The UK market increasingly recognises that independent certification is key to building confidence in low-carbon technologies,” stated Eurovent Certification UK partnership manager Matthew Nudd. “Daikin becoming MCS certified for its air-to-air product range through Eurovent Certification is a significant milestone for both the manufacturer and the wider industry.”
