The steps for a project in Cornwall
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 Cornwall we agree timings around your opening hours.
Test failover
We test the changeover and alarms before handover.
Before you book in Cornwall
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.
Run 24/7
Comfort units are not designed for continuous year-round use. We select equipment rated for it.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Cornwall often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.

Two rules matter for most businesses in England: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.
Common questions from businesses in Cornwall
How much does server room cooling cost in Cornwall?
Guide prices in Cornwall 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.
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.
What does N+1 mean?
One more unit than you need. If one fails, the other can carry the load while it is repaired.
