Installer Awards announced at Installer Show 2026

The UK’s leading heating installers have been recognised at the Installer Awards 2026, with national winners announced live at InstallerSHOW at the NEC, Birmingham. On hand to congratulate the winners were the team from Stelrad Radiators that has been sponsors of the awards since the beginning. The winners were welcomed to the Stelrad stand at the show and received the congratulations of the whole team.

Now in its 11th year, the Heating Installer Awards celebrates excellence, innovation and customer service across the building services sector.

This year’s top honours went to Wales-based heating installer, Daniel Davies, who was crowned the UK’s Heating Installer of the Year 2026.

Daniel Davies, of Daniel Davies Plumbing and Heating Engineers from Lampeter, secured the Heating Installer Awards national title after impressing judges with his work on a 200-year-old stone farmhouse that had stood abandoned for almost a century. Faced with a completely blank canvas, Daniel designed and installed a high-performance renewable heating system focused on efficiency, reliability and long-term durability. The win marks an impressive milestone for Daniel, who had already retained his Welsh regional title for a third consecutive year.

Another standout winner was Daisy Turner of Toucan Heating and Plumbing Ltd, who was named Rising Star of the Year. The Essex-based apprentice impressed judges with both her technical ability and her wider contribution to the industry. Alongside delivering a complex heating and plumbing project to support a family adapting their home for critical medical needs, Daisy has taken on mentoring responsibilities at college and has worked closely with manufacturers to improve training facilities for future apprentices.

The full list of Heating Installer Awards 2026 winners is:

National Winner – Daniel Davies, Daniel Davies Plumbing and Heating Engineers (Wales)
Highly Commended – Adam Dare, Eco Renewables Ltd (Berkshire)
Rising Star Winner – Daisy Turner, Toucan Heating and Plumbing Ltd (Essex)
Best HVAC Installer – James Lacey, JLN Plumbing and Heating (Coventry)
Best Renewables Installer – George Tiefenthaler, POP Heating and Renewables (Northampton)

Daniel takes home a prize bundle worth thousands of pounds. All Heating Installer Awards winners receive a three-night trip to Denmark to visit Danfoss HQ. In addition, the winner receives a holiday voucher from Powered Now worth a whopping £1000, and all other finalists receive £100 vouchers. The other sponsors, Stelrad and Samsung Climate Solutions, provide product, vouchers and gifts to finalists.

Winners were selected following a comprehensive judging process involving industry experts, manufacturers, professional bodies and previous award winners. Entrants were assessed on the quality of their projects, technical knowledge, problem-solving abilities and customer service credentials, before completing a technical challenge and taking part in a public vote.

Judges commented that the standard of entries was exceptionally high, reflecting the expertise, professionalism and dedication that exists throughout the UK’s heating sector.

Stelrad’s Marketing Communications Manager Sarah Baker has been involved with the awards since they were launched and she said that every year the competition seems to get better and better: “These awards have developed level of prestige all of their own over the years and it’s a privilege for us at Stelrad to be involved in the awards, recognising the excellent work that these installers are involved in, day in and day out up and down the country.”

Her colleague Lexi Kelly is Stelrad’s Marketing Coordinator and has been heavily involved in the Heating Installer Awards for many years – with Stelrad as a major sponsor of the awards which are announced each year at Installer Live at the NEC in Birmingham: “We’ve got to know this year’s winner Dan Davies well over the past couple of years and we were delighted to be able to congratulate him after he was announced as the overall winner this year!”

The Heating Installer Awards are supported by leading industry partners and sponsors including Danfoss, Powered Now, Samsung Climate Solutions, Stelrad, the Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering, InstallerSHOW and Refresh.
