Heat load surveys and system design in the West Midlands

Heat load surveys and system design across the West Midlands

No two rooms in Birmingham gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing. For self-builds and extensions in Birmingham, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder. Hot spells in the West Midlands are shorter but intense, especially in loft rooms and rooms with big windows.

Prices in the West Midlands

Heat load surveys and system design in the West Midlands typically come in at £385–£1,195 for a standalone design pack including VAT, based on West Midlands rates. That is broadly in line with national guide prices. The design pack price depends mainly on the number of rooms and whether full drawings and equipment schedules are needed. For reference, the Design pack option in the West Midlands (drawings and schedules for one home) usually comes to about £385–£795.

Planning and permissions

For most houses in the West Midlands, 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

On a survey in the West Midlands 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. We book surveys in the West Midlands at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
