Heat load surveys and system design in Irvine
Every Irvine quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. Scottish summers are mild, so most systems here are chosen first for efficient heating, with cooling for warm spells.
For self-builds and extensions in Irvine, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder. We cover Irvine as part of Ayrshire, roughly 6 miles from Kilmarnock. That includes the KA12 postcode district.

Planning and permissions
In Scotland, planning conditions for outdoor units depend on the property type and location; conservation areas and listed buildings need particular care.
The survey
The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote. On a survey in Irvine the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
