We're straight about this because it matters for the grant paperwork and it matters for trust.
Macara Heating is the local heating business you speak to from the first phone call. We're based in Danderhall, Gas Safe registered, LPG certified, with 12+ years of local experience installing, repairing, and servicing heating systems across Edinburgh and the Lothians. We handle the boiler side of the business, and we're on the tools during the heat pump install.
[JME Green Energy](https://www.jmegreenenergy.co.uk/) is our MCS-certified installation partner. They hold the MCS accreditation required for Home Energy Scotland grant and loan eligibility and for formal MCS system design sign-off. Their name sits on the MCS paperwork and on the Home Energy Scotland application.
That partnership is exactly how the scheme is designed to work — the MCS-certified company is the entity Home Energy Scotland wants to see on the paperwork, and that's JME. Macara Heating does not claim to be itself MCS-certified, because we're not — and that's the honest answer a lot of installers won't give you.
What you get out of the partnership: the responsiveness and local accountability of a small Edinburgh heating business, plus the full MCS certification chain and Home Energy Scotland funding access. One team of people doing the work, one clear paperwork trail, one local phone number to call if you need us after the install.
