Heat load surveys and system design in Dunoon
Northern Scotland's climate puts the emphasis on reliable, efficient heating, with cooling a minor bonus. For self-builds and extensions in Dunoon, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder.
Every Dunoon quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. Dunoon sits around 39 miles from Oban, inside our Argyll and Bute area. We cover PA23 and the streets around them.

Planning and permissions
Scotland has its own permitted development rules for heat pumps and outdoor units, with stricter treatment of listed buildings and conservation areas. We check the current position for your property with you and, if needed, with the council.
The survey
Where travel is involved, we agree the survey arrangements and any travel cost up front. On the day, the engineer measures the rooms, checks the electrics and agrees the outdoor unit position with you. Surveys in Dunoon are arranged around travel. We confirm the date and any travel, ferry or accommodation cost in writing before you commit, then the survey covers rooms, pipe routes, electrics and noise as normal.
