Thermostatic Radiator Valve installation
Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRV) are fittings, installed on to your radiator, which help to improve the efficiency of you heating system and thus help bring down energy costs. They allow you to control to temperature of each individual room so that you don’t waste energy heating rooms that are not being used.
Zone Control installation in Derby
Zone control is a relatively simple concept. Heating empty rooms or unoccupied areas of the home wastes energy, so it makes sense to restrict which zones are heated.
Some areas in buildings, especially large homes, require different levels of heating. Creating ‘zones’ within a building is one solution to this problem, where separate time and temperature controls are installed for individual areas.
From new builds to period properties and combi boilers to conventional systems, East Midlands Gas can install multi-zone heating kits across most existing central heating controls. Contact Us today for more info.

Had a water leak from my kitchen ceiling on a Sunday evening and rang the company at 6:30pm for an emergency call out and they got here in a very... read more quick time and managed to inspect and isolate the issue with minimal wear and tear required to the ceiling. The issue was sorted quickly and they explained every step they were carrying out so I also understood what the issue was. The costs were explained on my initial call and was very very fair and affordable considering it was an emergency call out on a Sunday evening. Very friendly and professional and cleaned up after themselves too. Absolute pleasure to have the guys out to sort the issue and would 100% recommend and I will be using the company again in future.

If plumbing was an art form Asif Bhai is Picasso! We were looking to upgrade our heating system before winter and came across East Midlands Plumbing. Asif Bhai came round... read more for a consultation and within a day gave us a quote. The week after that they were able to fit us in for a full boiler replacement. Asif Bhai is very knowledgeable about anything to do with boilers, he heard our concerns and gave us honest advice and we decided to go with them. This father and son duo are trustworthy and very thorough. We went solely by their reviews on google and are so impressed by their quality of work. They are neat, precise and extremely professional. If we could give them more than 5 stars we definitely would.
