Heat load surveys and system design in Kelso
For self-builds and extensions in Kelso, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder. In central and southern Scotland, heat pump heating is usually the main reason to install, especially in homes on electric heating.
Every Kelso quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. Our Scottish Borders coverage takes in Kelso, about 15 miles from Galashiels. We cover TD5 and the streets around them.
Prices in Kelso
Budget around £365–£1,145 for a standalone design pack including VAT for heat load surveys and system design in and around Kelso. That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical Central and Southern Scotland labour rates. A standalone design pack is priced on the size of the home, the number of rooms and how much drawing work your builder or architect needs. For reference, the Design pack option in Kelso (drawings and schedules for one home) usually comes to about £365–£745.

Planning and permissions
Scotland has its own permitted development rules for heat pumps and outdoor units, with stricter treatment of listed buildings and conservation areas. We check the current position for your property with you and, if needed, with the council.
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. The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote.
