This week on the Consumer Friend podcast we had the pleasure of featuring Alex Hughes the Scheme Manager from the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS). On the podcast we find out what she does and what MCS does, in making us all more energy efficient.
So how does MCS contributes to a greener and more sustainable future?
Microgeneration (solars, heat pumps, biomass, wind and battery storage) involves producing energy on a smaller scale, typically at the individual or community level.
“What the heck is biomass” I just shouted out loud! Biomass according to google is wood fuelled heating systems so a standalone stove that burns logs to heat up a room or heat up water. I was delighted I knew what the other things were. If YOU don’t check out the information on the website here.
MCS acts as a certification standard, making sure that microgeneration technologies as above, meet specific criteria for efficiency, safety, and environmental impact. MCS provides a stamp of approval, instilling confidence in consumers and promoting the use of these eco-friendly energy sources.
Governments and utility providers often provide incentives or grants for the installation of MCS-certified microgeneration systems. This encourages individuals and businesses to invest in these things and in turn, save money and the planet. Microgeneration systems certified by MCS adhere to strict environmental standards.
If you are considering green energy solutions,
Look for products carrying the MCS certification mark. This ensures that the technology has met rigorous standards and is likely to provide the best performance and efficiency.
Engage with installers accredited by MCS and follow our guide on getting a good business here. Proper expertise ensures proper installation.
