Leading radiator manufacturer, Stelrad, has extended its sponsorship of the Heating Installer Awards, marking the seventh consecutive year that the company has put its weight behind the industry’s prestigious awards.
Stelrad is the UK’s number one heating specialist, manufacturing high output steel panel and designer radiators in the UK and supplying tailor-made products for homes. It’s recently-launched Loyalty Club is growing in popularity for installers looking to gain more from their frequent purchases.
Sarah Baker, marketing communications manager at Stelrad, commented: “The Heating Installer Awards are a highlight of installer’s calendars. It’s the one they all want to win, because it’s based on technical competence and service excellence, and the three-stage judging process ensures that the winner truly is someone who embodies professionalism, has a solid knowledge of legislation and commitment to the industry.
“Our latest winner, Craig Gilhome, really is a shining light in the industry. He is so knowledgeable about so many areas of the sector, from heating and ventilation to air conditioning and renewables. It’s these types of people that we’re here to recognise and celebrate.”
For the past decade the awards have continued to gain momentum, each year attracting hundreds of entries from installers up and down the country, many of whom are installing the latest in renewable technologies and producing ground-breaking results through clever thinking and problem solving.

Stelrad will join the judging panel, which first meets in March, to identify the top regional installers and the industry’s most promising Rising Stars, amongst other awards. Also on the panel are past award winners, members of the Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering, and technical teams from other sponsors.
Entry to the Heating Installer Awards is free of charge as the awards are solely funded through sponsorship. Thanks to Stelrad’s support for the sector, the awards will once again be able to uncover the UK’s best heating installers. In 2026 the winners will be announced during InstallerSHOW at Birmingham NEC in June.
