How it works in County Antrim

We read the IT and UPS load and allow for growth. For sites in County Antrim we confirm access and parking beforehand.

Test failover
We test the changeover and alarms before handover.
What to think about in County Antrim
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.
Resilience
A single unit is a single point of failure. N+1 means one unit can fail without the room overheating.
Working hours
Most County Antrim businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.

Questions about server room cooling in County Antrim
How much does server room cooling cost in County Antrim?
Guide prices in County Antrim run from about £3,650 to £13,750 per room (duty/standby pair), plus VAT. A typical job (small comms room, 2–5 kW IT load, N+1 pair) costs £3,650–£8,250 plus VAT. We fix the price in writing after a free survey.
Do you also cover County Down, County Armagh and County Londonderry?
Yes. Alongside County Antrim, we also cover County Down, County Armagh and County Londonderry. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
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.
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.
