Heat load surveys and system design in Fishponds
Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling. Every Fishponds quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area.
For self-builds and extensions in Fishponds, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder. We cover Fishponds as part of Bristol. Coverage includes BS16.

Planning and permissions
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
The survey
We book surveys in Fishponds at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. Surveys in Fishponds cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
