MYWARMHOME \u2022 HOMEOWNER GUIDE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing the right installer.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Good retrofit starts with the right people. Qualifications matter \u2014 but so do good design, clear communication, appropriate products and knowing exactly what you are paying for.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

01<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check them<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Check the installer holds the registrations and competence needed for the actual work being carried out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

02<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compare them<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Get more than one quote. Compare the specification and scope \u2014 not simply the final price.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

03<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understand it<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ask what is being installed, why it is suitable and what effect the work will have on your home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

04<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Write it down<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Specification, cost, making good, warranties and responsibilities should all be agreed in writing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

A badge isn’t the whole story.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Registration with a certification or competent-person scheme can be an important check, but it doesn’t mean every installation has been individually inspected. You should still understand who is doing the work, what is being installed and what documentation you will receive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the work, relevant organisations may include Gas Safe Register, MCS, TrustMark, NICEIC and NAPIT<\/strong>. Different measures require different qualifications and registrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
