Heat load surveys and system design in Heavitree
In the South West, a system that heats well through damp winters is often as valuable as summer cooling. Every Heavitree quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area.
No two rooms in Heavitree gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing. Heavitree sits around 37 miles from Plymouth, inside our Devon area. We cover EX2 and EX1 and the streets around them.

Planning and permissions
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
The survey
We book surveys in Heavitree at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. On a survey in Heavitree the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
