Offering simplified MCS umbrella scheme
17th June 2026
UK: Mitsubishi Electric has partnered with Alto Energy, an Oxfordshire-based supplier and installer, to help heating engineers with a simplified MCS umbrella scheme.
According to Mitsubishi Electric, the scheme is designed to remove many of the barriers that can prevent gas boiler installers moving into heat pump installations, by providing access to training, technical support, MCS-compliant system design and commissioning.
Through the scheme, installers can benefit from MCS-standard project design and commissioning, automatic grant applications and ongoing technical guidance.
The programme enables installers to focus on providing quality installations, while Alto Energy manages the compliance, commissioning and certification process required for MCS sign-off and successful grant application.
Under the scheme, installers submit project details to Alto Energy, which then provides a bespoke system design and quotation. Once the installer completes the installation, Alto Energy commissions the system to MCS standards, provides sign-off and, where applicable, manages government grant applications and associated paperwork.
“Many installers are keen to enter the heat pump market but can be put off by the complexity of accreditation, compliance and administration. This scheme removes these obstacles. By combining training, design expertise, commissioning and certification support, we’re helping installers build new revenue streams while supporting Britain’s transition to low-carbon heating,” explained Alto Energy sales director Matt Townsend.
Installers joining the scheme will have access to both Alto Energy’s specialist renewable heating expertise and comprehensive training programmes, ensuring they are equipped with the knowledge and support required to deliver successful heat pump projects.
