We are pleased to announce that we have now gained the prestigious MCS (Micro-generation Certified Scheme) approval for installation of biomass boilers. There are only about 100 companies throughout the UK with this specific biomass boiler approval and only a few based here in Cornwall. Our future customers who have one of our high quality biomass boilers installed will qualify for the proposed Government Feed In Tarriff payments.
Here is an excerpt from the Microgeneration Certification Organisation website outlining the benefits of MCS.
The Certification Mark For Onsite Sustainable Energy Technology
The MCS was devised specifically to help build a rapidly
growing microgeneration industry based on quality and
reliability. This industry makes a substantial contribution
to cutting the UK’s dependency on fossil fuels and its
carbon dioxide emissions. MCS underpins government
policies on low carbon and renewable onsite energy
technologies and supports the Low Carbon Buildings
Programme grants programme.
To ensure that the consumer is protected and that
government money is well spent, grants are only available
to applicants whose products and installers satisfy
rigorous criteria in three key areas:
product certification involves type testing of products
and an assessment of the manufacturing processes,
materials, procedures and staff training
installer certification entails assessing the supply,
design, installation, set-to-work and commissioning of
microgeneration technologies
consumer protection is maintained in that all sellers/
suppliers of microgeneration systems are signed up to
a Code of Practice set by the Office of Fair Trading.
