About This Service
Your Local Heating Controls Experts
J M Plumbing & Heating installs smart and conventional heating controls across Solihull and the surrounding areas. James will check compatibility with your boiler and recommend controls suited to your heating system, property and daily routine.
Why Choose us for Heating Controls?
All gas-related control work is carried out by Gas Safe Registered engineers, backed by NVQ Level 2 training and full insurance for peace of mind.
We recommend systems based on property type, boiler brand and household patterns, not the latest gadget for its own sake, so you get real savings and comfort.
As an ATAG Select Partner and Baxi installer, we can fit controls that maintain manufacturer warranties and integrate cleanly with your boiler.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our services and process.
Yes, in most cases. We check boiler compatibility, controls wiring and any existing room stats during a short survey. If your boiler requires a specific interface or a wired connection, we will explain the options and any additional parts needed.
Properly configured controls reduce boiler run time by avoiding overheating and wasted heating periods. Savings depend on your current setup, insulation and usage patterns. We focus on practical changes that give measurable improvements rather than gimmicks.
Most thermostat and programmer installs take one to three hours, depending on wiring complexity and whether we need to fit extra components for zoned heating. We give a clear timescale on the survey visit and work to minimise disruption.
Some manufacturers require approved installers or compatible components to keep extended warranties valid. As an ATAG Select Partner and Baxi installer, we advise on combinations that preserve manufacturer warranties and we commission the system to their requirements.
Yes. After installation we commission the controls, programme schedules for weekdays and weekends and run through day to day operation with you. We provide written settings so you can revert to the recommended schedule if needed.
