Heat load surveys and system design in South Croydon

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 South Croydon gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing.

Every South Croydon quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. South Croydon is about 10 miles from central London and falls within our London coverage. We cover CR7 and CR9 and the streets around them.

Planning and permissions

England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.

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

FAQ

Common questions in South Croydon

Will the outdoor unit need planning permission in South Croydon?

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.

Is the survey in South Croydon 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 South Croydon?

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 South Croydon?

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

How long does the installation take in South Croydon?

Survey 1–2 hours. We confirm the timing, and any days with no cooling or heating, in your written quote.

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.
