What Does the VitoEnergy & City Plumbing Partnership Mean?
The partnership between City Plumbing and VitoEnergy is designed to significantly benefit installers, particularly those looking to expand their services into heat pump installations. Here's a breakdown of what it means:
Simplified Access to Government Grants:
The MCS umbrella scheme allows installers to offer their customers access to government grants like the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) without needing their own full MCS accreditation. This removes a significant administrative and financial hurdle.
Comprehensive Technical Support:
Installers gain access to expert support from VitoEnergy, including:
Heat loss calculations
System design
Technical assistance
DNO applications
Commissioning assistance
This support helps installers feel more confident and competent in heat pump installations
Installers can purchase materials from City Plumbing at their existing trade rates, maintaining their profit margins.
The partnership also offers financial flexibility, such as credit account options, to help installers manage their cash flow.
Increased Business Opportunities:
By simplifying the process of heat pump installations, the partnership enables installers to tap into the growing market for renewable heating solutions.
This partnership helps installers build confidence in a new and growing market.
Reduced Administrative Burden:
VitoEnergy handles the complex MCS paperwork, freeing up installers to focus on the practical aspects of the job.
