Heat load surveys and system design in Saltash
Every Saltash quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling.
No two rooms in Saltash gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing. We cover Saltash as part of Cornwall, roughly 38 miles from Truro. Postcode districts we cover here include PL12.

Planning and permissions
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
The survey
A survey in Saltash 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. Surveys in Saltash cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
