Heat load surveys and system design in Halifax
No two rooms in Halifax gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing. In Yorkshire, south-facing lofts and glazed extensions are where summer cooling makes the biggest difference.
For self-builds and extensions in Halifax, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder. Halifax sits around 14 miles from Leeds, inside our West Yorkshire area. Homes in HX1 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Halifax
Budget around £375–£1,195 for a standalone design pack including VAT for heat load surveys and system design in and around Halifax. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in Yorkshire and the Humber tend to be. Larger homes, more zones and full drawing sets for a builder are what move a design pack towards the upper figure. As an example, the Design pack option (drawings and schedules for one home) would typically be £375–£745 here.

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
A survey in Halifax 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. 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.
