LEEDS, ENGLAND - 20TH JULY, 2026 - GM Heating Ltd has announced that it has been named Regional Sustainability Champion for the North of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland at the Checkatrade Awards 2025, recognising the Leeds-based heating and gas engineering company's commitment to sustainable working practices and high standards of customer service.
The award acknowledges businesses that demonstrate environmental responsibility alongside quality workmanship. The announcement comes as energy efficiency and sustainable heating continue to receive increased attention across the UK following government efforts to improve the energy performance of homes and commercial buildings.
Checkatrade Recognition Reflects Wider Focus on Sustainable Heating
Founded in 2021 by Gas Safe-registered engineer Gianne Merriman, GM Heating Ltd provides domestic and commercial heating services throughout Leeds and Yorkshire, including Boiler installation Leeds, boiler servicing, gas safety certificates, central heating work, and air conditioning installations.
Merriman holds Gas Safe registration for both domestic and commercial gas work, allowing the company to undertake projects across a broad range of residential and commercial properties. He is also a Worcester Bosch Registered Installer.
According to the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, improving the efficiency of heating systems remains an important part of reducing emissions from buildings while helping households and businesses lower energy consumption. As a result, sustainable installation and maintenance practices have become an increasing area of focus across the heating industry.
Receiving the regional sustainability award places GM Heating Ltd among businesses recognised by Checkatrade for their contribution to these wider industry objectives.
Award Highlights Industry Standards and Customer Trust
Alongside the award, GM Heating Ltd currently maintains a 9.89 out of 10 rating based on more than 85 verified customer reviews on Checkatrade.
Checkatrade independently verifies customer reviews submitted through its platform, with ratings reflecting customer feedback on completed work.
"As a small, owner-operated business, receiving this recognition is both encouraging and humbling," said Gianne Merriman, owner of GM Heating Ltd. "We've always believed that carrying out safe, compliant work and considering long-term energy efficiency should go hand in hand. It's rewarding to see those values recognised."
Operating as a Heating Engineer Yorkshire, the company works with homeowners, landlords, letting agents, and commercial property owners throughout the region. Since its launch, the business has continued to provide heating and gas engineering services while complying with Gas Safe regulations and current industry standards.
The Energy Saving Trust continues to encourage regular heating maintenance and the installation of efficient heating systems where appropriate, noting that well-maintained systems can contribute to improved energy performance and lower running costs over time.
Recognition Comes as Energy Efficiency Remains a National Priority
The recognition reflects a broader shift within the UK's heating sector as installers, manufacturers and policymakers place greater emphasis on improving building efficiency and reducing energy demand.
Industry initiatives, updated regulations, and consumer awareness have increased attention on the role qualified heating engineers play in maintaining safe and efficient heating systems. Awards recognising sustainable working practices provide an opportunity to acknowledge businesses that demonstrate these standards within their local communities.
Merriman said the award also reflects the importance of maintaining consistent standards as the business continues to serve customers across Yorkshire.
"We appreciate the trust our customers have placed in us since we established the company," he said. "Our focus remains on delivering reliable heating and gas engineering work while helping customers make informed decisions about maintaining or improving the efficiency of their heating systems."
