Daily £500 giveaways, the return of the famous OddBalls pants, a first look at a major industry-first and Thailand-themed photo opportunities are all on the agenda as Ideal Heating prepares for InstallerSHOW 2026.
Taking place at the NEC Birmingham from 23–25 June, Ideal Heating is bringing one of its biggest and most interactive stands to date at Stand 5H50, complete with a towering four-sided digital display, showcasing the latest product, training, warranty and installer reward content throughout the event.
Installers visiting Stand 5H50 will have the chance to put their skills to the test in the Logic Air set-up sprint and Logic Max strip-down challenge, with the fastest competitor each day winning £500 in Connect points.
Also returning to the stand is one of Ideal Heating’s most popular InstallerSHOW giveaways. By popular demand, the Ideal Heating x OddBalls collaboration is back, with 1,000 pairs available across the three days featuring the company’s iconic Boilerman and Max Confidence branding.
Luke Pykett, Head of Brand and Campaigns at Ideal Heating, said:
“InstallerSHOW is always one of the highlights of the year for us. We wanted this year’s stand to be bigger, bolder and more interactive than ever before.
“Whether it’s competing for £500, getting your hands on a pair of OddBalls, registering for Premier Club 2028, there’ll be plenty of reasons to come and see us at Stand 5H50.”
A major focus of the stand will be the exclusive unveiling of a significant new industry-first warranty initiative for Logic Air heat pumps, underlining Ideal Heating’s commitment to giving installers and homeowners greater confidence as the transition to low-carbon heating gathers pace.
Visitors will also be able to learn more about Connect, Ideal Heating’s customer loyalty platform, and Premier Club, the company’s industry leading installer trip. Following the recent announcement of Thailand as the destination for Premier Club 2028, the stand will feature a dedicated photo area inspired by the trip, and installers will be able to sign up to Premier Club or register for Connect directly on the stand.
Logic Air, Logic Max, Vogue Max and Halo controls will all be on display, while members of Ideal Heating’s product, technical and training teams will be on hand for any queries throughout the show
Expert Academy will also have a strong presence throughout the show, including the ‘3-2-1 Hydronics Lunch and Learn’ sessions delivered in partnership with Warmer Academy. Hosted by well-known industry expert Kimbo Betty, the sessions will combine live demonstrations with practical advice to help installers optimise system design and installation across both boiler and heat pump applications. Further details and registration information are available via Ideal Heating’s channels. Visitors can sign up for the sessions in advance at https://idealheating.com/ideal-heating-warmur-academy-working-together-to-raise-the-bar
Powering The HAUS
Away from the main hall, Ideal Heating will also play a leading role in The HAUS, InstallerSHOW’s full-scale, two-storey sustainable demonstration home and the centrepiece of the InstallerBUILD feature.
Located in the Electrical Hall, the impressive architectural build allows visitors to walk through a real-world low-carbon home and see how sustainable materials and modern technologies work together.
Powered by Ideal Heating’s Logic Air heat pump, pre-plumbed cylinder and controls, The HAUS gives visitors another opportunity to see the company’s heat pump technology in action beyond the main stand.
Alongside Ideal Heating, fellow Groupe Atlantic brand Gledhill will also be exhibiting on the same stand, 5H50, as it celebrates its 100th anniversary. The Blackpool-based manufacturer will showcase its latest hot water cylinder solutions, including products designed for heat pump systems, and bring a touch of the seaside to the NEC with a nostalgic “Climb the Tower” challenge inspired by their Blackpool heritage.
With a major product announcement, live demonstrations and installer rewards on offer, Ideal Heating is set to deliver one of the standout attractions of InstallerSHOW 2026
Luke added:
“InstallerSHOW is about much more than products. It’s about conversations, confidence and supporting installers wherever they are on their journey.
“From boilers and heat pumps to training, rewards and a major new announcement, we’re looking forward to welcoming installers to Stand 5H50 and showing them why we’re better than their usual heating brand.”
Visitors can find Ideal Heating and Gledhill at Stand 5H50, opposite Plumb Centre in Hall 5, from 23–25 June at the NEC Birmingham.
