How much does HVAC design cost in Greenwich?
Budget roughly £635–£3,150 per project ex VAT in Greenwich. For a typical job — design package for a 300–800 m² office — expect £1,250–£3,150 plus VAT. Your exact price is fixed in writing before any work starts.
An HVAC design and heat load survey works out how much heating and cooling each space needs — from occupancy, equipment, lighting, glazing, orientation and the building fabric — and sets out the system type, unit sizes and positions, pipe and duct routes and controls in a written specification.
Greenwich and surrounding areas
Greenwich sits within London's dense commercial fabric: shopfronts, offices above, studios and venues, where outdoor unit positions and access need careful planning.
Postcode districts we cover in Greenwich include SE10. We also cover Blackheath, Canary Wharf and Catford, all within easy reach of Greenwich. Buildings across London range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.
What you get
- Room-by-room heat gain and heat loss calculations
- System options with pros, cons and budget costs
- Layout drawings for units, pipework and condensate
- Noise data for planning or landlord approval
- Written specification for pricing

Allow for growth in occupancy or IT load.
Working hours
Most Greenwich businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Noise
Outdoor unit noise is designed in from the start, not fixed afterwards.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
Premises we work in around Greenwich

In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
