Heat load surveys and system design in Rushden
In the East Midlands, one system that cools in summer and heats efficiently in winter makes good use of the investment. For self-builds and extensions in Rushden, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder.
Every Rushden quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. Our Northamptonshire coverage takes in Rushden, about 12 miles from Northampton. Homes in NN10 are all within our coverage.

Planning and permissions
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
The survey
On a survey in Rushden 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 Rushden 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.
