How it works in Ashton-under-Lyne
Measure the load
We read the IT and UPS load and allow for growth.
Design resilience
Duty/standby units, changeover control and power supplies are designed together.
Install with minimal risk
Work around live equipment is planned with your IT team and kept clean. In Ashton-under-Lyne we agree timings around your opening hours.
Test failover
We test the changeover and alarms before handover.
Local points to consider
Resilience
A single unit is a single point of failure. N+1 means one unit can fail without the room overheating.
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.
Monitoring
A temperature alarm costs little compared to the equipment it protects.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Ashton-under-Lyne 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.
