The accreditation process with Qualitymark was very straightforward and they were very helpful in getting me through. They require a reassuring amount of detail, meaning that I can be happy that they are not just accepting anyone onto their programme, but at the same time it’s not too onerous so that a small company with limited access to administrative staff, like my own, is not put off.
Heating Insurance Backed Guarantee
Qualitymark Protection is a specialist in heating insurance backed guarantees that cover such installations as heat pumps, boilers, heating controls, electric storage heaters, underfloor heating and more…
As a TrustMark Approved financial protection provider, we work with several of the main Consumer Codes and Certification Bodies such as MCS and RECC.
How Does a Heating IBG Work?
When a new heating system is installed, the installer will provide a guarantee among other documentation. This written guarantee will outline a period in which the installer will return to fix any problems.
The insurance backed guarantee underpins this, in the event that the installer goes out of business and is unable to honour their written guarantee. In this instance, the homeowner would have the ability to make a claim on the IBG.
Why Do I Need an IBG?
For any installer that is currently or thinking about becoming registered with MCS and/or RECC, then an insurance backed guarantee is a mandatory requirement to gain certification.
If you are a TrustMark Registered businesses you are also expected to provide financial protection.
An insurance backed guarantee is also a great selling tool to help provide your customers with added peace of mind and confidence, which could help to increase your quotation conversions.
We support a vast range of heating systems, including but not limited to:
Heat Pumps
Boilers
Heating Controls
Electric Storage Heaters
