Things to check in Carlisle
Resilience
A single unit is a single point of failure. N+1 means one unit can fail without the room overheating.
Leased premises
If your Carlisle 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.
Run 24/7
Comfort units are not designed for continuous year-round use. We select equipment rated for it.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Carlisle are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.

Which postcodes do you cover in Carlisle?
All of them, including CA1 and CA99. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
How often should server room units be serviced?
At least twice a year, because they run continuously. Filters may need cleaning more often in dusty rooms.
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.
