Grant Aided Heating Installers Network

The Grant Aided Heating Installers' Network aims for a higher level of professionalism, beyond technical qualifications and competence, for its heating contractors serving the grant market.

Members agree to abide by a Code of Conduct covering fair dealing with customers, avoiding misleading statements, maintaining technical registration, and a complaints procedure. Criteria for full membership covers technical registration under the Corgi and/or NICEIC scheme, insurance cover, trading record and customer protection. Full Members also need to hold, or be committed to achieving a recognised quality Certificate.

The Grant Aided Heating Installers' Network supports heating contractors participating in grant-aided schemes. This includes the UK government grant schemes: Warm Front in England, HEES Wales, Warm Deal Scotland and Warm Homes in Northern Ireland. It also covers the Carbon Emissions Reduction Target (CERT), as managed by energy suppliers; and Schemes run by local authorities.

Members meet quarterly at different locations to discuss matters of mutual interest, whether they are operational, technical or policy issues, taking these up as required with scheme managers or government. As and when appropriate a GAIN technical committee is welcome to meet EAGA.

Wessex are proud to be members of GAIN since 2005
