I do not know of any mfr's of products that have paid MCS, and are not MCS-accredited, but there may well be some?
Boiler tested efficiencies are available : http://www.ncm-pcdb.org.uk/sap/podpage.jsp?id=6
MCS-Accreditation is a process I do not get involved with, altho' I imagine Ted on here can give you the inside-track?

Cheers..]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=12756&Focus=212800#Comment_212800 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=12756&Focus=212800#Comment_212800 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 22:17:14 +0000 Jeff B Posted By: DarylPJeffB,

Thanks for the link. There are only 11 wood pellet boilers listed and mine (Ekopower) is not one of them. Does this mean that I have to chase the manufacturer to supply BRE with the necessary data?]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=12756&Focus=212801#Comment_212801 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=12756&Focus=212801#Comment_212801 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 22:20:45 +0000 Jeff B Jeff]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=12756&Focus=212814#Comment_212814 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=12756&Focus=212814#Comment_212814 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 10:17:49 +0000 atomicbisf Posted By: Jeff BAtomicbisf - sorry, I appear to have hijacked your thread. Would you like me to start a new one specifically dealing with this issue regarding wood pellet boilers and EPC's?

Hi Jeff, don't worry it seems pretty appropriate here!

which I came across on the YouGen website. There is something fundamentally amiss here!]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=12756&Focus=212902#Comment_212902 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=12756&Focus=212902#Comment_212902 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 14:51:20 +0000 skyewright Posted By: SigaldryIf you know the ratings, presumably you know the RRN (reference number). In which case, go to: https://www.epcregister.com/epcadviser.html and you can find out what your calculations are based on / how they could be improved.

Doesn't seem to work for new build ones though.

Is the www.epcregister.com site England & Wales only?

If so does anyone know of a Scottish equivalent?]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=12756&Focus=212904#Comment_212904 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=12756&Focus=212904#Comment_212904 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 15:16:22 +0000 Ed Davies https://www.scottishepcregister.org.uk/ ]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=12756&Focus=212907#Comment_212907 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=12756&Focus=212907#Comment_212907 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 15:49:25 +0000 skyewright Posted By: Ed DaviesA search for "scottish epc register" found...
Thanks. I'd found that & similar. There appear to be plenty of places that can show the EPCs (e.g. as a pdf),

www.epcregister.com however offers rather more than that. Once you've selected an EPC it allows you to add or remove various improvements & see how that affects the rating.]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=12756&Focus=212909#Comment_212909 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=12756&Focus=212909#Comment_212909 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 16:00:05 +0000 Sigaldry
But more to the point, viewing EPC's is fine if it's your own, or if you are buying or considering buying, or renting, or considering renting a property.

Otherwise I'm fairly sure you're not allowed to / not supposed to...

(according to the terms and conditions bit you have to tick).

Probably won't get into trouble - but just be aware of the possibility when looking at all your neighbours ratings!
