Heat load surveys and system design in Cambridge
Low rainfall and long summer days in the East of England make south-facing rooms the first to overheat. No two rooms in Cambridge gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing.
Every Cambridge quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. Cambridge sits around 30 miles from Peterborough, inside our Cambridgeshire area. Coverage includes CB5, CB21, CB22, CB23 and CB24.
Prices in Cambridge
In the East of England, our guide range for heat load surveys and system design is £445–£1,395 for a standalone design pack, including VAT. Prices here sit above the national middle, reflecting East of England labour rates and parking and access costs. A standalone design pack is priced on the size of the home, the number of rooms and how much drawing work your builder or architect needs.

Planning and permissions
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
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. A survey in Cambridge usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes.
