Heat load surveys and system design in Whitehaven
Damp North West weather makes the dehumidifying mode of a modern split system genuinely useful for much of the year. For self-builds and extensions in Whitehaven, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder.
Every Whitehaven quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. Our Cumbria coverage takes in Whitehaven, about 35 miles from Carlisle. Coverage includes CA28.

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