Heat load surveys and system design in Felling
Every Felling quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. In the North East, sizing for winter heating and then checking summer cooling usually gives the right system.
No two rooms in Felling gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing. Felling lies roughly 2 miles from Newcastle upon Tyne, and we cover it as part of Tyne and Wear. We cover NE10 and the streets around them.
Prices in Felling
In North East England, our guide range for heat load surveys and system design is £365–£1,145 for a standalone design pack, including VAT. That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical North East England 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 Felling (drawings and schedules for one home) usually comes to about £365–£745.

Planning and permissions
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
The survey
On a survey in Felling 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. 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.
