Heat load surveys and system design in Wigston

The East Midlands gets warm, dry summer spells, and loft conversions and top-floor bedrooms are where the heat builds. Every Wigston quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area.

For self-builds and extensions in Wigston, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder. Wigston sits around 4 miles from Leicester, inside our Leicestershire area. Postcode districts we cover here include LE18.

Planning and permissions

For most houses in Wigston, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on 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. On a survey in Wigston 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.

FAQ

Common questions in Wigston

Will the outdoor unit need planning permission in Wigston?

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.

How soon can you survey in Wigston?

We offer survey dates when you enquire. Early summer is the busiest time, so spring and autumn are the easiest times to book.

Do you cover all of Wigston?

Yes, including LE18. We also cover nearby Oadby and Leicester.

Is the survey in Wigston really free?

Yes, for new installations. The survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead.

Who carries out the work in Wigston?

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.

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.
