Certain government incentive schemes require MCS-certified installation to qualify — meaning the certification isn't just reassuring, it can be a genuine precondition for a customer to access certain support, which is worth stating plainly rather than assuming visitors already know.
A certification logo buried in a footer does far less work than the same logo placed near your main call to action, ideally alongside a one-line explanation of what it means for the customer specifically.
Many have heard the term without knowing the specifics — a brief, plain explanation on your site does more good than assuming familiarity.
Placing it near the estimate, rather than only in a separate “about us” section, keeps trust and value in the same field of view.
