Heat load surveys and system design in Solihull
In the West Midlands, sizing for winter heating first and then checking summer cooling usually gives the best all-year system. For self-builds and extensions in Solihull, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder.
No two rooms in Solihull gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing. Solihull lies roughly 7 miles from Birmingham, and we cover it as part of the West Midlands. That includes the B90 and B92 postcode districts.
Prices in Solihull
Budget around £385–£1,195 for a standalone design pack including VAT for heat load surveys and system design in and around Solihull. 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. Typical Design pack work (drawings and schedules for one home) lands around £385–£795 in this area.

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