Heat load surveys and system design in Stafford
No two rooms in Stafford gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing. In the West Midlands, sizing for winter heating first and then checking summer cooling usually gives the best all-year system.

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
We book surveys in Stafford at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. Surveys in Stafford cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
