MCS guidelines
Users can meet a full room-by-room heat loss total and the app will provide a finalized plan
The Carno platform turns site surveys into robust designs and produces reports that meet MCS guidelines, necessary for customers to claim the £7500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) grant on completion by an MCS installer.
Carno helps installers to pre-qualify their prospective customers quickly with indicative pricing, using available data and images of the customer’s property without the need for a pre-visit. Users can complete a full room-by-room heat loss calculation and the app will provide a finalized schedule of equipment including ASHPs, water cylinders, and heat emitters from Baxi’s catalog.
New renewable heating system
The app makes automated heat pump and thermal storage sizing calculations, without the installer needing to dig through product instruction manuals or get out the calculator.
Dynamic emitter output and system performance data tools allow installers to work with the customer to find the best balance between upfront and running costs for their new renewable heating system. Once the design is complete, the tool automatically generates MCS documents ready to send.
Tim Wright, Co-Founder of Carno, explains; "Carno was created to make fitting renewables simpler and to help accelerate the transition to clean energy technologies, such as heat pumps. Our intelligent platform saves Baxi’s installers time and allows them to focus on the heart of the project - installing. We are very excited to be working with Baxi as they support their customer base with the transition to renewable technologies."
Installations on Baxi Works
Once an installer completes Baxi’s training course they will receive a three-month subscription to Carno with unlimited projects, free of charge. Installers will have the option to extend their Carno license free of charge for a whole year, as long as they are actively using the platform and register installations on Baxi Works.
Ian Trott, Baxi’s Head of UK Training Solutions, said; "The addition of the Carno software platform brings even greater value to Baxi’s training solutions, making it easy for our customers on every step of their journey to become low carbon heating providers."
