Heat load surveys and system design in Barnet

Every Barnet quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. Many London homes are flats or tall terraces, where heat rises to the top floor and the bedrooms bear the brunt of a hot spell.

No two rooms in Barnet gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing. Barnet lies roughly 11 miles from central London, and we cover it as part of London. Coverage includes EN5.

Prices in Barnet

For Barnet, expect roughly £495 to £1,645 for a standalone design pack, VAT included, adjusted for typical London rates. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in London. Larger homes, more zones and full drawing sets for a builder are what move a design pack towards the upper figure. For reference, the Design pack option in Barnet (drawings and schedules for one home) usually comes to about £495–£1,045.

Planning and permissions

For most houses in Barnet, 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. A survey in Barnet usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes.

What is included

Included as standard in Barnet:

  • Room-by-room heat gain and heat loss

FAQ

Common questions in Barnet

Will the outdoor unit need planning permission in Barnet?

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.

Can I get a price for Barnet 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.

Do you cover all of Barnet?

Yes, including EN5. We also cover nearby Hadley Wood and Potters Bar.

Who carries out the work in Barnet?

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 soon can you survey in Barnet?

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

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.
