Big news , West Coast Electrical & Renewables is now fully MCS certified for air source heat pump installation. After months of training, prep, and independent auditing, we’re proud to offer this exciting renewable heating option to homes across Blackpool, the Fylde Coast, Preston, and the wider North West.
This means we can now design, supply, and install air source heat pumps (ASHPs) to the highest industry standards. So, if you’re thinking about upgrading your heating system or reducing your home’s carbon footprint, we’re ready to help.
What Is MCS Certification and Why Does It Matter?
MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) is the UK’s quality assurance standard for low-carbon energy systems. For heat pump installs, it confirms that the installer has been assessed and approved to deliver a high-quality, compliant system.
By using an MCS-certified company, you can access government schemes and incentives where available. Just as importantly, you’ll know your system has been properly sized, installed, and commissioned to deliver reliable results.
Furthermore, our company is now listed on the official MCS register, giving homeowners extra confidence in our service.
Why Air Source Heat Pumps Are in Demand
Air source heat pumps are becoming a go-to choice for homes across the UK. They absorb heat from the air outside and use it to warm your home and water, even when it’s cold. Because they run on electricity, they’re a clean, low-carbon option that works well with solar energy and battery storage.
Here’s why so many people are switching:
• Excellent energy efficiency
• Lower carbon emissions than traditional systems
• Compatible with radiators or underfloor heating
• Ideal for homes without mains gas
• Grants and incentives may apply
As energy prices rise and more people move away from gas, heat pumps offer a smart, long-term solution.
The Road to Certification
At West Coast Electrical & Renewables, we’re known for quality work and reliable service. However, we didn’t want to offer ASHP installs until we could do it to the highest standards, and now we can.
Our team completed hands-on training, adapted our processes, and passed a detailed audit. We’ve also built relationships with trusted heat pump suppliers to ensure we deliver systems that are efficient, long-lasting, and backed by strong support.
As a result, becoming MCS certified allows us to expand our services with confidence. We can now deliver full home energy packages including solar panels, battery storage, EV chargers, and now air source heat pumps.
Is an Air Source Heat Pump Right for Your Home?
Heat pumps work best when designed for the specific layout, insulation, and usage needs of your property. That’s why we always start with a detailed survey.
They’re a great choice if:
• You want to reduce your reliance on gas
• Your property is already well insulated or being upgraded
• You’ve got solar panels or are planning to add them
• You want a future-ready solution that fits new energy standards
If you’re a landlord, ASHPs can also help improve EPC ratings, making them a smart move before any new regulations come in.
Moreover, they often futureproof your property against upcoming energy changes.
