Heat load surveys and system design in Truro
Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling. For self-builds and extensions in Truro, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder.
Every Truro quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. As well as Truro itself, our Cornwall coverage takes in Redruth, Falmouth and the towns around them. Coverage includes TR1.
Prices in Truro
For Truro, expect roughly £395 to £1,250 for a standalone design pack, VAT included, adjusted for typical South West England rates. That is close to the UK middle for this kind of work. 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. As an example, the Design pack option (drawings and schedules for one home) would typically be £395–£795 here.

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. Surveys in Truro cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
