A well-designed central heating system is essential for staying warm and comfortable—especially through a long Derbyshire winter. I’m Ross, owner of ISM Plumbing & Heating, and for over 15 years I’ve been helping homeowners across Alfreton, Sutton-in-Ashfield, Ripley, and surrounding areas upgrade their old, inefficient heating setups with modern, high-performance systems.
Recently, we helped a family in South Normanton move from a dated gravity-fed setup to a full combi boiler and radiator system. Their old heating struggled to warm upstairs rooms, and their energy bills were through the roof. We designed a new, energy-efficient layout, installed smart heating controls, and replaced every radiator. Now the whole home heats up evenly—and more affordably.
Whether you're replacing an ageing system, upgrading for an extension, or starting from scratch in a new build, we provide a complete central heating installation service—from the first consultation to the final handover.
We handle the full central heating installation process, including:
- Free home survey and consultation
- Tailored system design based on your layout and heating needs
- Combi, system, or conventional boiler installation
- New pipework, valves, and filters
- Radiator installation, upgrades, or relocation
- Smart thermostats and heating controls (optional)
- Power flushing and system protection
- Full commissioning, building regulation compliance & warranty registration
We work on existing properties, renovations, and new builds.
We install heating systems using products from brands we know and trust:
- Vaillant – High efficiency and smart control options
- Glow-worm – Reliable and budget-friendly performance
- Baxi – Great for long warranties and ease of use
- Ideal & Worcester Bosch – Proven reliability and support
- Nest & Honeywell – Smart heating controls for better comfort
- Stelrad & Myson – Stylish, efficient radiators
We’ll recommend the right combination based on your budget, property size, and energy goals.
We understand the heating needs of local homes—whether it’s:
- Cold rooms in older solid-wall properties
- Uneven heat from poorly balanced systems
- Low-pressure issues in two-storey homes
- Outdated pipework or poor radiator placement
- Upgrades needed for new loft conversions or extensions
We don’t just fit new systems—we design them to work efficiently and reliably in your specific home.
