How much does server room cooling cost in Atherton?
In Atherton, guide prices run from about £3,850 to £14,650 per room (duty/standby pair), plus VAT. A typical job (small comms room, 2–5 kW IT load, N+1 pair) usually comes to £3,850–£8,750 plus VAT. Your exact price is fixed in writing once we have surveyed.
Server room cooling is dedicated air conditioning that removes the heat produced by IT equipment around the clock, independently of the office system.

How we work in Atherton
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.

Work around live equipment is planned with your IT team and kept clean. We keep work areas in Atherton screened and tidy at the end of each day.
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.
Working hours
Most Atherton businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Run 24/7
Comfort units are not designed for continuous year-round use. We select equipment rated for it.
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 Atherton
- Healthcare and dental: clean, quiet cooling for surgeries, clinics, dental practices and care settings.
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.

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.
