Heat load surveys and system design in Heywood
Every Heywood quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. Damp North West weather makes the dehumidifying mode of a modern split system genuinely useful for much of the year.
No two rooms in Heywood gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing. Heywood lies roughly 8 miles from Manchester, and we cover it as part of Greater Manchester. We cover OL10 and the streets around them.
Prices in Heywood
Our North West England guide price for heat load surveys and system design is £375–£1,195 for a standalone design pack, VAT included. That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical North West England labour rates. A standalone design pack is priced on the size of the home, the number of rooms and how much drawing work your builder or architect needs. For reference, the Design pack option in Heywood (drawings and schedules for one home) usually comes to about £375–£745.

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