GAIN:
"Delivering warmth
to those who need it
most"
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. New criteria for full
membership (in effect from July 2006) covers technical registration
under the Corgi and/or NICEIC scheme, insurance cover, trading record,
customer protection and financial and trade references. 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 Energy
Efficiency Commitment Scheme as managed by energy suppliers.
Members meet regularly at a central venue 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.

grant-aided schemes follows.
