Heat load surveys and system design in Saddleworth
Damp North West weather makes the dehumidifying mode of a modern split system genuinely useful for much of the year. No two rooms in Saddleworth gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing.
Every Saddleworth quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. Saddleworth sits around 11 miles from Manchester, inside our Greater Manchester area. That includes the OL3 and OL4 postcode districts.

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
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. On a survey in Saddleworth 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.
