The steps for a project in Belfast
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 Belfast we agree timings around your opening hours.
Test failover
We test the changeover and alarms before handover.
Local points to consider
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.
Run 24/7
Comfort units are not designed for continuous year-round use. We select equipment rated for it.
Leased premises
If your Belfast premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.

Do you also cover Castlereagh, Newtownabbey and Lisburn?
Yes. Alongside Belfast, we also cover Castlereagh, Newtownabbey and Lisburn. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Which postcodes do you cover in Belfast?
All of them, including BT1, BT2, BT3 and BT4. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
Why not use the office air conditioning?
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.
What temperature should a server room be?
ASHRAE guidance recommends equipment inlet air of about 18–27°C. Many small rooms are set at around 21–24°C to leave headroom if a unit fails.
