Supply Chain Advice Pack: Air Sourced Heat Pump(ASHP) Handover Essentials

Introduction

The handover process for a newly installed, MCS-compliant, residential Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) must provide the resident with full documentation, verified commissioning data, and clear operational guidance. It ensures the system meets MIS 3005 (MCS Heat Pump design standard) requirements, Building Regulations, and manufacturer specifications, and that the resident understands how to operate the system efficiently.
