Heat load surveys and system design in Matlock
Summer peaks in the East Midlands make bedrooms under the roof the hardest rooms to keep comfortable. No two rooms in Matlock gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing.

Planning and permissions
For most houses in Matlock, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
The survey
At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote. A survey in Matlock 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.
