From enquiry to handover in Cambridge
Measure the load

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. In Cambridge we agree timings around your opening hours.
Test failover
We test the changeover and alarms before handover.
What to think about in Cambridge
Monitoring
A temperature alarm costs little compared to the equipment it protects.
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.
Resilience
A single unit is a single point of failure. N+1 means one unit can fail without the room overheating.
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.
Types of premises we cover in Cambridge

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.

Do you also cover Newmarket, Ely and Huntingdon?
Yes. Alongside Cambridge, we also cover Newmarket, Ely and Huntingdon. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Which postcodes do you cover in Cambridge?
All of them, including CB5, CB21, CB22 and CB23. 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.
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.
