Heat load surveys and system design in Hexham

For self-builds and extensions in Hexham, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder. In the North East, sizing for winter heating and then checking summer cooling usually gives the right system.

No two rooms in Hexham gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing. Our Northumberland coverage takes in Hexham, about 26 miles from Blyth. We cover NE46 and the streets around them.

Prices in Hexham

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

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

FAQ

Common questions in Hexham

Do you cover all of Hexham?

Yes, including NE46. We also cover nearby Prudhoe and Consett.

Is the survey in Hexham really free?

Yes, for new installations. The survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead.

Will the outdoor unit need planning permission in Hexham?

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.

How soon can you survey in Hexham?

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

Who carries out the work in Hexham?

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.

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.
