What homeowners ask heat pump installers
With what our guides tell them. Answer these in your quote, and later on your listing.
Are you MCS certified?
MCS is the industry standard for these installations, and most grant and export payment schemes require it. That is why MCS certification is needed to list heat pumps on our map.
Do you apply for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
Our checklist tells homeowners the installer must be MCS certified, applies for the grant and takes it off the price. In our model the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, which covers England and Wales, is £7,500, or £9,000 for homes with no mains gas that are heated by oil or LPG, until 31 March 2027.
Do you need an F gas certificate?
Firms that install or service air conditioning, refrigeration or heat pumps containing F gas refrigerants must hold a company certificate. Certificates come from Refcom, the F-Gas Register (Quidos) or Bureau Veritas. Refcom has a public register; for the others, ask to see the certificate. We ask whether you work on F gas equipment, and if you do, your certificate number.
What homeowners will ask you to confirm
From the checklist in our air source heat pump guide:
- Heat loss survey: Room-by-room calculation.
- Grant: Your installer must be MCS certified, or you get no grant. The installer applies for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and takes it off the price.
- Radiators and cylinder: What changes and what is included.
- Gas supply: Who caps it, if the heat pump replaces gas entirely.
- Running costs: Estimated annual cost against your current system.
What we’ll check before heat pump installers appear
- Companies House, if you’re a limited company or LLP: we’ll check the company is active.
- MCS certification: MCS is the industry standard for these installations, and most grant and export payment schemes require it. Estiquote’s rule, in the whole UK.

Firms that install or service air conditioning, refrigeration or heat pumps containing F gas refrigerants must hold a company certificate.
