MCS - Microgeneration Certification Scheme
Mainline Energy Solutions is signed up to the Microgeneration Certification Scheme. This confirms our commitment to the highest standards of product supply and installation.
The MCS is an internationally recognised quality assurance scheme. It was designed with input from installer and product representatives. Similar to the Gas Safe Register, the MCS gives installers a mark of competency and demonstrates to consumers that the supplier can install to the highest quality every time.
In this rapidly growing industry, installers and products that carry the MCS Mark are seen as the preferred option in the market place. This is because MCS is linked to many key factors such as:
-
Feed-In Tariffs, which will provide guaranteed payments to individuals, business and communities for small-scale electricity generation.
-
The Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) for Energy Rating of Dwellings recognises MCS certificated products when determining whether products are eligible for inclusion in SAP assessments.
-
The Code for Sustainable Homes, which is a mandatory requirement for all new build homes to meet sustainability ratings, including ratings for energy and CO2 emissions. MCS certificated technologies can be used to meet the requirements of this Code.
-
Planning permission for consumers for certain renewable energy technologies has now been made a lot simpler thanks to permitted development rights introduced in England and Scotland.
REAL - Renewable Energy Assurance Limited
Only responsible companies display the REALity Check.
In order to have full confidence in companies who sell renewable or low carbon micro heat or power units the REAL Code was established. It was recognised that most people are unlikely to be experts in these technologies and will need help in working out which is the most suitable system and how to get the best from it.
The REAL Assurance Scheme Consumer Code sets out clearly what you are entitled to expect from a responsible company that you can have confidence in. The Code covers pre-sales activity, contracts, completing the order and after-sales activities.
Fronius Service Partner
Revolutionising solar electronics - this was the demanding challenge that Fronius set itself and it resulted in a completely new concept for PV inverters. Three central parameters guided the considerations: optimum user-friendliness for the customer linked to the highest possible performance and reliability.
For over half a century, Fronius has concentrated on technologies for converting electrical energy. Research and development is at the heart of the company. Mainline Energy Solutions shares a mutual appreciation of cutting edge technology allowing us to achieve the best solutions together.
Well-designed photovoltaic systems are among the safest, cleanest and most environmentally-friendly methods of electric generation. The prerequisite for this is the careful matching of modules and inverts to the desired objective. Fronius has accomplished these requirements and has created a PV inverter series that combines the highest levels of both efficiently and user-friendliness.
Fronius had a mission to establish successful relationships with selective quality partners so that the consumer receives the very best service. Mainline Energy Solutions has achieved that distinction; we can carry replacement parts allowing us to react immediately to service calls, saving time and money.
IWA - Independent Warranty
All our products and services are backed by the Independent Warranty Association. This gives you complete peace of mind with guarantee insurance for up to 10 years. IWA offer an insurance guarantee and deposit insurance for all customers with no exclusions, fees or excess.
The policy is underwritten by Elite Insurance Company Limited.
The warranty is transferable should a property be sold.
The certificates include both the deposit insurance of up to 25% of the total contract value including VAT and includes the insurance guarantee of up to 10 years in accordance with the Trade Member’s Terms & Conditions and Guarantee.
The Deposit Protection is for 90 days only, from the date of payment of the deposit or completion of the contract whichever is the soonest. The period may be extended by written confirmation.
In the event of the supplier ceasing to trade prior to the completion of the contract, and within the 90 day period (or extension) the Insurers will arrange for the completion of the contract by an IWA “authorised” company (at a further cost to the customer no greater than the outstanding balance).
In the event of the supplier of the items under guarantee being unable to undertake any necessary remedial works under the terms of its own long term guarantee due to cessation of trading, Insurers will indemnify the holder of the Insured Guarantee for the cost of such work.
