Heat load surveys and system design in Oadby
The East Midlands gets warm, dry summer spells, and loft conversions and top-floor bedrooms are where the heat builds. For self-builds and extensions in Oadby, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder.
No two rooms in Oadby gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing. Oadby is about 3 miles from Leicester and falls within our Leicestershire coverage. We cover LE2 and the streets around them.

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
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. On a survey in Oadby 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.
