Heat load surveys and system design in York
Every York quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. In Yorkshire, south-facing lofts and glazed extensions are where summer cooling makes the biggest difference.
For self-builds and extensions in York, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder. We cover York and the rest of North Yorkshire, including Middlesbrough and Harrogate. We cover YO1, YO10, YO24 and YO31 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
On a survey in York 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. A survey in York 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.
