Heat load surveys and system design in Rochdale
Every Rochdale quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. North West summers are cooler, so many systems here earn their keep as efficient heaters, with cooling for the warmest weeks.
No two rooms in Rochdale gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing. Our Greater Manchester coverage takes in Rochdale, about 10 miles from Manchester. That includes the OL16 postcode district.

Planning and permissions
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
The survey
On a survey in Rochdale 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. 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.
