Heat load surveys and system design in Bideford
Coastal breezes help, but inland South West towns and glazed rooms still see uncomfortable peaks. Every Bideford quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area.
No two rooms in Bideford gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing. We cover Bideford as part of Devon, roughly 45 miles from Plymouth. That includes the EX39 postcode district.

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
We book surveys in Bideford at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. 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.
