Heat load surveys and system design in Blackwood

South Wales summers can be warm and humid, and winters damp, so a reversible system earns its keep all year. Every Blackwood quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area.

For self-builds and extensions in Blackwood, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder. Blackwood is about 19 miles from Bridgend and falls within our Mid Glamorgan coverage. Homes in NP12 are all within our coverage.

Prices in Blackwood

For Blackwood, expect roughly £365 to £1,145 for a standalone design pack, VAT included, adjusted for typical South and Mid Wales rates. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in South and Mid Wales tend to be.

Typical Design pack work (drawings and schedules for one home) lands around £365–£745 in this area.

Planning and permissions

In Wales, outdoor units of up to 1.5 m³ that meet MCS 020a noise limits are usually permitted development on houses; listed buildings need consent, and in conservation areas a unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road.

The survey

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

FAQ

Common questions in Blackwood

Can I get a price for Blackwood 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 Blackwood?

Yes, including NP12. We also cover nearby Gelligaer and Risca.

Will the outdoor unit need planning permission in Blackwood?

Since 1 June 2026, most houses in Wales can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it meets the size, number and MCS 020a noise conditions. Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas need more care. We check on survey.

Who carries out the work in Blackwood?

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 long does the installation take in Blackwood?

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.
