The Edinburgh Boiler Company (EBC) has been nominated in three categories at this year's prestigious H&V News Awards.

The firm has been shortlisted for Contractor of the Year after enjoying strong growth in turnover and customers over the past 12 months since expanding from installing traditional boilers to a suite of low-carbon and renewable technologies.

The heating and renewables specialist is also in the running for the Small Company Achievement Award after securing collaborations with Home Energy Scotland (funded by the Scottish Government) and Warmworks (funded by the Energy Saving Trust, Changeworks and Everwarm), which have enabled the majority of customers to offset their installation costs.

Last year saw EBC embark on its most significant growth strategy to date, investing a record amount to diversify its services from gas heating to also include cutting-edge low-carbon solutions such as air source heat pumps, infrared panel heating, solar photovoltaics (PV), battery storage and electric vehicle (EV) charging facilities.

It has enabled customers to collectively reduce their annual carbon emissions by 230 tonnes, the success of the switch in focus reflected in the company's nomination in the category Low Carbon Impact: Residential or Public Sector.

Throughout its expansion, EBC has maintained an exemplary commitment to safety, resulting in zero RIDDOR-reportable accidents.

Managing Director, Dougie Bell said: "This recognition highlights our commitment to excellence, sustainability and innovation in everything we do.

"Preparing submissions for the awards was an amazing experience, giving us the opportunity to look back on all the milestones and projects we have had the privilege to work on.

"This would not have been possible without the ongoing support of our amazing team and loyal clients. Good luck to all the finalists on what promises to be an exciting day for everyone involved."

The winners will be announced in London towards the end of November.
