Heat load surveys and system design in Dumbarton
Every Dumbarton quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. Scottish summers are mild, so most systems here are chosen first for efficient heating, with cooling for warm spells.
No two rooms in Dumbarton gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing. Dumbarton is about 13 miles from Glasgow and falls within our Glasgow and Dunbartonshire coverage. That includes the G82 postcode district.

The survey

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