Heating Consultancy
Gondwana’s passion for truly sustainable heating has carried our reputation far beyond Scotland. Today, we receive international enquiries from clients seeking our expertise to design high‑performance, low‑carbon heating systems for their dream homes and commercial projects around the world. What began as a specialist local practice is now a trusted global resource for advanced renewable_heating_design, MVHR, heat_pumps and Passive_House_consultancy—reflecting the depth of knowledge and technical precision that define the Gondwana approach.
As a small family business based in Edinburgh, Scotland, it isn’t always possible for us to supply equipment to distant customers or attend projects in person—but that doesn’t mean we can’t help. Whether it’s a retrofit or a new build, the most critical work in any heating project happens long before installation. With the right planning, you can create a perfectly balanced, high‑performance heating system using the correct components, clear technical drawings and reliable support from us. That’s exactly where our heating_consultancy service comes in.
We guide clients through the essential early‑stage decisions that determine long‑term comfort, efficiency and running costs—covering MVHR layout, heat_pump sizing, solar_heating integration, biomass_boilers, and whole‑building performance. With precise planning, you can build a world‑class heating system anywhere in the world, supported by our expertise every step of the way.
Even the best‑intentioned green heating projects can run into difficulties—especially in regions where advanced low‑carbon systems are still unfamiliar. That’s why we also provide a dedicated troubleshooting_service for clients who need help understanding why a system isn’t performing as it should. Drawing on our expertise in MVHR, heat_pumps, solar_heating and biomass_boilers, we diagnose the underlying issues and offer clear, constructive recommendations to restore efficiency, comfort and reliability. Once we’ve pinpointed the problem, we guide you through the most effective solutions—ensuring your heating system delivers the performance it was designed for.
International Advice on Sustainable Heating
We are experts in heating, especially using sustainable methods such as wood, biomass, heat pumps, mvhr and solar systems. We create heating that is not just comfortable and efficient, but sustainable and beautiful.
Whether you want a solar_heating_system for a villa in Spain, a biomass_boiler for an office in Asia, or a Scandinavian tile_stove in New Zealand, we can advise you on how to make it happen. We calculate the output your system needs, outline the most suitable technologies available locally, and produce detailed plans your builders and suppliers can follow. With accurate design work and clear documentation, you can deliver a reliable, efficient heating system anywhere in the world.
How Gondwana Consultancy Works
Ideally, the process will start with you sending us your plans and or a description of your needs or problems. We can then give you an idea of how we can help, and send you a quote for our services.
Our heating consultancy typically begins with a detailed email response, followed by at least one Skype or telephone conversation. This helps us understand your project properly and clarify exactly what you need.
Once we have the essentials, we get to work. Depending on your project, our input may include:
- Design_sketches — early‑stage layouts to help you visualise system options.
- Plumbing_schematics — clear technical drawings your builders can follow.
- Heat_load_calculations — accurate sizing to ensure the system performs correctly.
- Product_selection — guidance on reliable, appropriate technologies available in your region.
- Technology_advice — performance, lifestyle and cost considerations to help you choose the right system.
- Training — many of our clients are self‑builders or tradespeople looking to upskill; we train on the systems we design and install.
- On_site_consultancy — project management, quality control and problem‑solving for clients who want additional support.
- Commissioning_and_verification — ensuring systems are set up correctly and performing as intended.
- Passive_House_design — as certified Passive House designers, we can advise on all aspects of low‑energy construction.
- Manufacturer_consultancy — from acting as a technical sounding board to helping refine products for usability, performance or sustainability.
Detailed plans of your home or building are extremely helpful, but not essential. If you don’t have drawings, simply send us an email explaining your situation and the support you need. We can take it from there.
