Installing the right thermostat can make a big difference in your comfort, energy use, and heating bills. I’m Ross, owner of ISM Plumbing & Heating, and I help homeowners across Alfreton, Ripley, Sutton-in-Ashfield, and the surrounding areas upgrade their heating controls for better performance and simpler day-to-day living.
Whether you want to replace an old dial thermostat, add zoned controls, or install a smart system like Nest or Hive, we’ll get it sorted—neatly, quickly, and without the confusion.
Why Upgrade Your Thermostat?
- More control over your heating and hot water
- Reduce energy waste and lower your bills
- Set schedules that suit your routine
- Control your heating remotely via smartphone (with smart systems)
- Pair with modern boilers or underfloor heating for even better efficiency
We install both traditional and smart thermostats to suit your heating setup and budget.
We supply and fit a wide range of thermostats and controls, including:
- Standard digital thermostats
- Wireless programmable thermostats
- Smart thermostats (Nest, Hive, Tado, Honeywell)
- Room thermostats with zoned heating support
- Controls for combi, system, or conventional boilers
- Integration with underfloor heating and multi-zone setups
- Wi-Fi and app configuration for smart systems
-Full testing and guidance on how to use your new thermostat
Not sure what you need? We’ll recommend the best option for your home and explain everything in plain English.
Looking to manage your heating remotely or reduce your bills without lifting a finger? We install and set up smart systems from leading brands, including:
- Hive Active Heating – Great compatibility and user-friendly app
- Google Nest – Sleek design, learns your habits over time
- Tado – Ideal for zoned homes or larger families
- Honeywell Evohome – Advanced control across multiple rooms
Smart controls work with most boilers and can be installed as standalone upgrades or alongside boiler replacements.
We’ve installed heating controls in homes of every type—from compact flats in Swanwick to larger homes in South Normanton and Sutton-in-Ashfield. Common reasons our customers upgrade include:
- Replacing old or faulty thermostats
- Improving heat distribution across rooms
- Adding control to extensions or loft conversions
- Managing heating better with changing routines
- Preparing a home for letting or sale

"Ross Mellis is very good at his job. We came across him a few weeks ago when he fitted a new toilet for us and we asked him for price for fitting two new radiators and to move a third for us, he gave such a good price that we asked him replace a further two as well that we thought we could not afford to replace. He was pleasant and very polite all the time, he came when he said he would and left us with no mess to clean-up. We would recommend him to anyone looking to get a plumbing job done and cannot praise his work enough, we would certainly use him again."
