Heat load surveys and system design in Shipley
Across Yorkshire, an air-to-air system is a practical way to replace old electric heaters, with cooling for the hottest spells. No two rooms in Shipley gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing.
For self-builds and extensions in Shipley, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder. Shipley is about 9 miles from Leeds and falls within our West Yorkshire coverage. Postcode districts we cover here include BD18.

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
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. On a survey in Shipley 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.
