Mount Hawke based heating and electrical specialists Govan Ltd are flying the Cornish flag after becoming just one of seven companies nationwide accredited to install a form of renewable technology which reduces household carbon emissions and energy bills, and pays a guaranteed income too.
Govan Ltd are the first Cornish company to receive accreditation from the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) allowing them to install boiler systems in the South West that offer more than first meets the eye – as not only do they provide highly efficient heating and hot water, but also generate low cost, low carbon electricity in the process, resulting in lower electricity bills and smaller carbon footprints.
The additional benefit of this relatively unknown technology, known as micro combined heat and power boilers (MCHP), is that you will also earn 10p for every unit of electricity the boiler system generates, plus an additional 3p for every unit of electricity that you don’t use and choose to export to the national grid, thanks to Government set Feed-In Tariffs.
Daryl Govan, Managing Director of Govan Ltd, comments:
“It is our aim to obtain five of the seven MCS accreditations, and we are delighted that we can add Micro Combined Heat and Power Boilers (MCHP) to the other three accreditations we have already received from MCS, and now introduce this great technology to the South West for the first time under the Feed-In Tariff scheme.
It is very important to us that we are recognised nationally and locally as a Cornish business that is demonstrably committed to driving down the carbon emissions of households and businesses in our county. By obtaining these landmark and coveted accreditations for renewable technology, and as the first in Cornwall for MCHP, we are flying the flag for Cornish businesses in the UK’s move to green energy generation.”
Govan Ltd now proudly add micro combined heat and power boilers to their MCS accredited Eco Energy division, joining their three other MCS accredited systems; solar electricity panels, solar hot water panels, and air source heat pumps.
