Heat load surveys and system design in Maidstone

The South East sees some of the UK's warmest summer days, and south-facing rooms and conservatories feel it first. Every Maidstone quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area.

No two rooms in Maidstone gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing. Maidstone is one of the main towns we cover in Kent, alongside Gillingham and Chatham. Homes in ME14 are all within our coverage.

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

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

What is included

Every job in Maidstone includes:

  • Room-by-room heat gain and heat loss

FAQ

Common questions in Maidstone

Who carries out the work in Maidstone?

F-gas certified engineers working for Aircon Installers. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which trades as Aircon Installers, and your quote names who will do the work and the F-gas company certificate that covers it.

How much do heat load surveys and system design cost in Maidstone?

Our guide range in South East England is £495–£1,495 for a standalone design pack, including VAT. The exact price depends on the rooms, the pipe route and access, and we confirm it in writing after a free survey.

Can I get a price for Maidstone without a visit?

Yes, our online guide price tool gives a range in about a minute. A fixed price needs a survey, which is free for new installations.

Will the outdoor unit need planning permission in Maidstone?

Most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it meets the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions. Flats and listed buildings usually need permission or consent. We check on survey.

Do you cover all of Maidstone?

Yes, including ME14. We also cover nearby Chatham and Rochester.

Why can't you just quote from floor area?

Two rooms the same size can need very different units because of glazing, orientation and use. Sizing from floor area alone is the main cause of systems that never feel right.
