Heat load surveys and system design in Cardiff
No two rooms in Cardiff gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing. Wet South Wales winters make a heat pump's quiet, even heating and dehumidifying mode useful well beyond summer.
Every Cardiff quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. As well as Cardiff itself, our South Glamorgan coverage takes in Barry, Penarth and the towns around them. That includes the CF10, CF11, CF14, CF15, CF23 and CF24 postcode districts.
Prices in Cardiff
In South and Mid Wales, our guide range for heat load surveys and system design is £365–£1,145 for a standalone design pack, including VAT. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in South and Mid Wales tend to be. Larger homes, more zones and full drawing sets for a builder are what move a design pack towards the upper figure. As an example, the Design pack option (drawings and schedules for one home) would typically be £365–£745 here.

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
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. On a survey in Cardiff 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.
