Renewables

Worcester, Bosch Group has created a new microsite to assist installers who fit renewable heating products to become registered under the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS).

The easy to navigate microsite, which can be found on the Worcester website, is a handy guide for installers, which explains the benefits of joining the scheme and provides information and tips to make it simpler to understand and complete the application process.

The MCS was set up to help homeowners who want to install renewable technologies in their home. There are two sections to MCS; the first is the accreditation of domestic renewable products, which manufacturers are awarded if their products meet the standards set out within the scheme; the second section is to recognise fully qualified, high quality installers who can fit the products.

Martyn Bridges, director of marketing and technical support at Worcester, said: “In principle, Worcester supports the requirement for an “over arching” scheme for this type of technology. However, we recognise that the way the scheme is currently structured, actually makes it difficult for installers to become accredited. We are now helping to make this process easier and have set up a special area on our website to help guide installers through the process.”

The 'MCS made easy' website is aimed at installers who have attended or are thinking of attending training courses for Worcester, Bosch Group's renewable products.

Once registered, installers will be able to access all the online information designed to help with the MCS office inspection process.
