HVAC design and heat load surveys in Merseyside
HVAC design and heat load surveys for businesses in Merseyside — surveyed, designed and priced in writing before any work starts.

How much does HVAC design cost in Merseyside?
Our guide range in Merseyside is £485–£2,395 per project before VAT; a typical job (design package for a 300–800 m² office) is £975–£2,395 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.
Covering Merseyside and nearby
We cover all of Merseyside, including Liverpool, Birkenhead, St Helens, Southport and Wallasey. Wherever your premises are, the survey, quote and installation follow the same steps.
Postcode districts we cover include CH25, CH44, L2, L13, L24, L35, L74 and WN5. Buildings across Merseyside 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
- Electrical load and supply requirements
- Noise data for planning or landlord approval

Before you book in Merseyside
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.
Diversity
Not every room peaks at once; good design accounts for diversity so central plant is not oversized.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
Typical premises in Merseyside
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
- Gyms and leisure: high-capacity cooling and fresh air for gym floors, studios and changing rooms.
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
