Heat load surveys and system design in Saltcoats
For self-builds and extensions in Saltcoats, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder. In central and southern Scotland, heat pump heating is usually the main reason to install, especially in homes on electric heating.
No two rooms in Saltcoats gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing. Saltcoats lies roughly 11 miles from Kilmarnock, and we cover it as part of Ayrshire. Homes in KA21 are all within our coverage.

That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical Central and Southern Scotland labour rates.

Planning and permissions
Outdoor units on Scottish homes can often be installed without a planning application, but the conditions differ from England's, so we confirm the rules for your property at survey.
The survey
On a survey in Saltcoats 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. At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote.
