Heat load surveys and system design in Berkhamsted
Every Berkhamsted quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. Bright summers in the East of England mean solar gain through glass is usually the biggest load to design for.
No two rooms in Berkhamsted gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing. Berkhamsted sits around 10 miles from Watford, inside our Hertfordshire area. That includes the HP4 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.
