We offer survey dates when you enquire. Early summer is the busiest time, so spring and autumn are the easiest times to book.

Is the survey in Newtownabbey really free?

Yes, for new installations. The survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead.

How much do heat load surveys and system design cost in Newtownabbey?

Will the outdoor unit need planning permission in Newtownabbey?

Northern Ireland has its own planning rules for outdoor units. We confirm the position for your home on survey, and with the council where needed.

Do you cover all of Newtownabbey?

Yes, including BT36 and BT37. We also cover nearby Holywood and Belfast.

Why can't you just quote from floor area?

Two rooms the same size can need very different units because of glazing, orientation and use. Sizing from floor area alone is the main cause of systems that never feel right.
