FINAL CALL FOR UK INSTALLERS AS 2026 HEATING INSTALLER AWARDS ENTRIES NEAR DEADLINE

Heating installers across the UK are being urged to submit their entries for the 2026 Heating Installer Awards as the application deadline approaches on Saturday 28 February.

Now established as one of the most respected benchmarks within the plumbing and heating sector, the awards are designed to recognise technical excellence, innovation and professionalism across a rapidly evolving industry. Organisers say the competition continues to attract strong interest as installers seek to stand out in an increasingly competitive market shaped by decarbonisation targets, skills shortages and rising consumer expectations.

This year’s programme features 11 regional awards, covering every part of the UK, alongside national categories for Best HVAC Installer, Best Renewables Installer and Rising Star, which recognises apprentices and those at the early stages of their careers. Regional winners will progress to the final stage of the competition, where a technical challenge will determine the overall national champion.

The awards are backed by industry sponsors including Danfoss, Powered Now, Samsung Climate Solutions and Stelrad. Partners include the Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering, InstallerSHOW and PR agency Refresh.

Alongside industry recognition, winners receive a substantial prize package provided by sponsors, including a three-night stay at Danfoss’ headquarters in Denmark and access to a range of product support. Finalists also benefit from training opportunities, exclusive industry events and peer support from fellow leading installers.

Since their inception more than a decade ago, the Heating Installer Awards have helped transform the profiles of shortlisted businesses and winners, contributing to brand building, increased customer confidence and commercial growth.

Regional winners will be announced in April 2026, with the national winner revealed live on stage at InstallerSHOW 2026, held at the National Exhibition Centre in June.

With entries closing soon, organisers say installers who believe they operate at the highest technical and professional standards are encouraged to apply before the deadline.
