ICAX achieved ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 accreditation on 11th May 2023. ISO 9001 ensures that we have fully documented our management systems and provides guidance for quality management, extending through all areas of our business. ISO 14001 enables us to manage and minimise our effect on the environment, which is of great importance to us as a manufacturer of low-carbon technologies.

We also achieved Cyber Essentials accreditation on 16th June 2023. As well as helping to safeguard against cyber attack, Cyber Essentials demonstrates our commitment to the cyber security of our customers and suppliers.

The government requires all suppliers bidding for contracts involving the handling of certain sensitive and personal information to hold an up to date Cyber Essentials certificate. Many contracts also require ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, and so ICAX is well set up to participate in both public sector and commercial projects.

A survey of heat pump users in Great Britain has found that more than 80% are satisfied with their new heating system. The survey, which was conducted by the innovation charity Nesta, found that households with heat pumps reported broadly similar levels of satisfaction to those with gas boilers.

The survey also found that heat pumps are more cost-effective than gas boilers in the long run. Households with heat pumps saved an average of £500 per year on their heating bills.

The government is currently offering grants to help households install heat pumps. The grants are available for both new and existing homes.
