Heat load surveys and system design in Inverness
Northern Scotland's climate puts the emphasis on reliable, efficient heating, with cooling a minor bonus. For self-builds and extensions in Inverness, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder.
Every Inverness quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. As well as Inverness itself, our Highland coverage takes in Fort William, Alness and the towns around them. We cover IV2 and the streets around them.

Planning and permissions
Outdoor units on Scottish homes can often be installed without a planning application, but the conditions differ from England's, so we confirm the rules for your property at survey.
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. 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.
