Heat Pump Installation Standards: Time for a Shake-Up – Flexi-Orb vs MCS
Is the MCS monopoly about to be challenged? In this episode of Plug into the Brand, we sit down with David Lindsay from Flexi-Orb who are trying to shake up renewable energy accreditation in the UK. From PV and batteries to heat pumps, Flexi-Orb is stepping in with a mission: real competition, real standards and real consumer protection.
Homeowners are fed up with failed complaints and the “gatekeeper” effect around heat pump grants. Installers are exhausted by box-ticking bureaucracy. Flexi-Orb says it’s time for a better way with true UCAS-accredited schemes, clearer standards and a single point of contact for when things go wrong.
Can they really deliver?
