Heat load surveys and system design in Eccles
North West summers are cooler, so many systems here earn their keep as efficient heaters, with cooling for the warmest weeks. For self-builds and extensions in Eccles, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder.
Every Eccles quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. Eccles is about 4 miles from Manchester and falls within our Greater Manchester coverage. Coverage includes M30.

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
The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote. Surveys in Eccles cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
