The Installer Profit Breakdown
See exactly how much you earn per job — and why Karnot outperforms every major brand on installer margin.
Why Our Trade Pricing Delivers Higher Margins
Karnot's direct-from-manufacturer trade model eliminates the traditional distributor tier. Combined with our R290 technology advantage, MCS installer partners consistently earn significantly more profit per job than with mainstream brand alternatives — without charging customers more.
Revenue based on typical UK MCS installer quotes including survey, installation, commissioning and certification. Contact us for your trade account and indicative margin analysis.
