Local points to consider
Monitoring
A temperature alarm costs little compared to the equipment it protects.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Bideford are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Winter operation
Cooling is needed even when it is cold outside, so low-ambient controls are fitted.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.

Common questions from businesses in Bideford

Guide prices in Bideford run from about £4,095 to £15,550 per room (duty/standby pair), plus VAT. A typical job (small comms room, 2–5 kW IT load, N+1 pair) costs £4,095–£9,295 plus VAT. We fix the price in writing after a free survey.
Which postcodes do you cover in Bideford?
All of them, including EX39. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
What does N+1 mean?
One more unit than you need. If one fails, the other can carry the load while it is repaired.
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.
