In Scotland, the transition to net zero emissions will involve changing the type of heating used in more than two million homes and 100,000 non- domestic buildings by 2045.

Scottish businesses working in heating sector will need to scale up to meet anticipated demand.

The Scottish Government’s MCS certification fund provides heating engineers with an interest in installing heat pumps (either air, ground or water source) with a grant to become MCS certified on heat pumps.

The grant will pay 75%, up to a maximum of £1,000, of the certification fees and will run until funds run out or until the end of March 2025, whatever comes first.
