Heat load surveys and system design in Guildford

The South East sees some of the UK's warmest summer days, and south-facing rooms and conservatories feel it first. Every Guildford quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area.

For self-builds and extensions in Guildford, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder. Guildford lies roughly 6 miles from Woking, and we cover it as part of Surrey. Homes in GU1 are all within our coverage.

Planning and permissions

For most houses in Guildford, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.

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.

What is included

Every job in Guildford includes:

  • Electrical load for your electrician
  • Written proposal with options
  • Pipe and drain routes
  • Equipment selection and outdoor unit sizing
  • Noise check to the nearest neighbour

FAQ

Common questions in Guildford

Will the outdoor unit need planning permission in Guildford?

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 long does the installation take in Guildford?

Survey 1–2 hours. We confirm the timing, and any days with no cooling or heating, in your written quote.

Who carries out the work in Guildford?

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.

How much do heat load surveys and system design cost in Guildford?

Our guide range in South East England is £495–£1,495 for a standalone design pack, including VAT. The exact price depends on the rooms, the pipe route and access, and we confirm it in writing after a free survey.

Is the survey in Guildford really free?

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

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.
