MCS contractors gain HPF member benefits

UK: All MCS-certified contractors installing ground-source, water-source or air-source heat pumps, can now claim free affiliate membership of lobbying body the Heat Pump Federation (HPF).

As affiliate members, contractors will have access to the Heat Pump Federation’s new E-Mission bulletin, technical webinar programmes and member advisories. 

“Enhancing collaboration with MCS certified installers is a key step in developing an industry where we all have a stake in driving up standards so that the electrification of heat becomes the natural choice for homeowners; a choice that can be made with confidence,” commented the Heat Pump Federation’s director of growth & external affairs Bean Beanland.

MCS CEO Ian Rippin added: “With the Government reaffirming its commitment to low-carbon heating through incentive schemes, growing awareness of heat pump efficiency and reliability, and more contractors investing in lifelong skilled careers in heat pump installation, now is the time for us to work together to capitalise on the growing momentum towards net zero heat.”
