No two rooms in Stoke-on-Trent 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
A survey in Stoke-on-Trent 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. We book surveys in Stoke-on-Trent at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
