HVAC design and heat load surveys in Hertfordshire
HVAC design and heat load surveys for businesses in Hertfordshire — surveyed, designed and priced in writing before any work starts.
- Design fees confirmed in writing first
- Equipment, positions and price set out in writing

How much does HVAC design cost in Hertfordshire?
Our guide range in Hertfordshire is £535–£2,650 per project before VAT; a typical job (design package for a 300–800 m² office) is £1,050–£2,650 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.
Where we work around Hertfordshire
We cover all of Hertfordshire, including Watford, Hemel Hempstead, Stevenage, St Albans and Welwyn Garden City. Wherever your premises are, the survey, quote and installation follow the same steps.
Postcode districts we cover include AL1, AL8, EN7, HP4, SG6, SG13, WD6 and WD99. Buildings across Hertfordshire range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.
Included as standard
- Room-by-room heat gain and heat loss calculations
- System options with pros, cons and budget costs
- Layout drawings for units, pipework and condensate
- Electrical load and supply requirements
- Noise data for planning or landlord approval

Before you book in Hertfordshire
Noise
Outdoor unit noise is designed in from the start, not fixed afterwards.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Hertfordshire often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Future use
Allow for growth in occupancy or IT load.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Types of premises we cover in Hertfordshire
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
Two rules matter for most businesses in England: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.
