Question
To ask the Scottish Government what action it is taking to ensure that low-carbon heating systems and energy efficiency measures offered by companies meet appropriate standards for quality.
Answer
For low carbon heating, such as heat pumps, the requirement is to use Microgeneration Certification Scheme installers to access Scottish Government funded support programmes. In relation to energy efficiency measures such as insulation, to access Scottish Government funding installers should be TrustMark registered businesses. Customers accessing the HES Grant and Loan scheme who cannot locate a TrustMark registered installer may use a Green Deal certified installer.
