Why Alto Energy’s MCS Umbrella Scheme Is the Best Choice for Heating Installers
More Skilled Heat Pump Installers Urgently Needed in Scotland
Scotland's drive towards low-carbon heating is facing challenges, with heat pump installations falling behind targets due to a shortage of MCS-accredited installers. To help bridge this gap, McDonald Water Storage is offering free plumber training courses, along with access to Alto Energy’s MCS umbrella scheme. This initiative provides installers with the necessary support, accreditation, and training to meet growing demand and accelerate the transition to sustainable heating solutions.
