]Hi there
To be able to do work under ECO or Green Deal your business need to be PAS 2030 certified. This is a made up accreditation by the energy companies so as to make sure the installer business is capable of doing there job and have a quality management system in place.
So to get PAS 2030 first of all you need a quality management system (QMS ). There are loads on the market with all different bells and whistles. All a QMS system is basically is a database to store all your job information and information on your business, like insurance renewal, calibration date, tools etc.
I use QMSA but there are loads on the market so have a look about as they can vary widely in price.
Then you need to get your certification. There are a few different body's that do this and they all. Charge different . I have found that STROMA are reasonable with there price. You will need two technologies, boilers and controls.
You will have to put all your info on your QMS then add a job, this can be any job you have done or I used the boiler at my house. Record details of guarantees, benchmark log book, gas safe notification, etc.
The certification body you choose will then look at the job on your QMS then you will be awarded your PAS 2030
Your business will then be added to the green deal installer list and you can install under the ECO and green deal.
The next step is to find a fund provider. Be very careful, there a a lot of dodgy people claiming to be providers but are not. Allways check they have a Green Deal Provider number and are on the list of providers, you can check this on the government website. If you don't use a bona Fide provider you will not get paid.
Once you have a provider then you can start to do work.
I am in the process of becoming a Provider and should have some funding in the next few months. If anyone wants me to contact them when I'm up and running PM me your business
I will help anyone in the process if they have any questions
Hope this helps.
