No standing charges, no membership fee, nothing to pay just to be on the platform. You pay a clear, fixed fee per project — and only when you’ve got work on, so there’s no overhead sitting on you between jobs. Everything’s transparent and agreed upfront, with no hidden extras.

No — you keep working the way you already do. Ample works with any MCS-compliant design tool you’re already using, so there’s no new system to learn and no rebuilding your process. We also have special rates with some software providers, so it’s worth asking us for details.

No — you don’t need your own MCS certification to work with Ample. Installs you do with us are certified through our accreditation, so the recognised standard and the grant eligibility are covered either way. If you’re already MCS-certified, that means you can offload the admin and cost of maintaining it; if you’re not, there’s no need to be. Either way, you focus on the installs and we carry the MCS side.

You’ll need an appropriate heating-system qualification, an unvented hot water cylinder qualification, and access to a qualified electrician. You don’t need your own MCS accreditation — that’s covered through ours — but it’s great news if you have one, as you’ll already be experienced with heat pumps and working to the standards we require. From there, we’ll check you meet our installer standards before your first job, so every install carries the same quality.

No — there’s no contract, no minimum commitment, and no membership fee. Once you meet our installer standards, joining is straightforward: you pay a clear, fixed fee per project, and only when you’re working — nothing between jobs. We don’t tie you in because we’re confident that once you’ve worked with us, you’ll want to keep coming back.
