How it works in Barry
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 Barry 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.
Winter operation
Cooling is needed even when it is cold outside, so low-ambient controls are fitted.
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.
Premises we work in around Barry
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.

In Wales, 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.

Can we get alerts if the temperature rises?
Yes. We can fit a temperature alarm that sends alerts by email or text, or connects to your BMS or network monitoring.

Office systems switch off out of hours and are sized for people, not equipment that runs 24/7. A dedicated system is more reliable and cheaper to run.
