How it works in Balerno
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. We keep work areas in Balerno screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Test failover
We test the changeover and alarms before handover.
Local points to consider
Run 24/7
Comfort units are not designed for continuous year-round use. We select equipment rated for it.
Working hours
Most Balerno businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Monitoring
A temperature alarm costs little compared to the equipment it protects.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Balerno 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.
