Heat load surveys and system design in Market Harborough
No two rooms in Market Harborough gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing. Summer peaks in the East Midlands make bedrooms under the roof the hardest rooms to keep comfortable.
Every Market Harborough quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. Our Leicestershire coverage takes in Market Harborough, about 14 miles from Leicester. That includes the LE16 postcode district.

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.
