This year's competition is offering several categories including 11 regional awards, covering each UK region, and accolades for the best HVAC and renewables installers, as well as a "Rising Star" category for apprentices. The regional victors will proceed to the final stage, competing for the national title via a technical challenge. Regional winners will be announced in April 2026 and the national winner will be crowned on stage at InstallerSHOW 2026, held at the NEC in Birmingham in June 2026. The awards are supported by sponsors Danfoss, Stelrad, and Samsung Climate Solutions and other partners. Any Welsh heating installer wishing to enter can do so by visiting the competition's website.
