Heat load surveys and system design in Poole
Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling. No two rooms in Poole gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing.
Every Poole quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. Poole is about 5 miles from Bournemouth and falls within our Dorset coverage. We cover BH15 and the streets around them.
Prices in Poole
In South West England, our guide range for heat load surveys and system design is £395–£1,250 for a standalone design pack, including VAT. It sits near the middle of UK prices. The design pack price depends mainly on the number of rooms and whether full drawings and equipment schedules are needed. Typical Design pack work (drawings and schedules for one home) lands around £395–£795 in this area.

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
Surveys in Poole cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare. We book surveys in Poole at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
