From enquiry to handover in Darlington
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. We keep work areas in Darlington screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Test failover
We test the changeover and alarms before handover.
Local points to consider
Monitoring
A temperature alarm costs little compared to the equipment it protects.
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.
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.
Premises we work in around Darlington
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.

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.

Do you also cover Newton Aycliffe, Yarm and Stockton-on-Tees?
Yes. Alongside Darlington, we also cover Newton Aycliffe, Yarm and Stockton-on-Tees. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Which postcodes do you cover in Darlington?
All of them, including DL3 and DL98. 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.
What does N+1 mean?
One more unit than you need. If one fails, the other can carry the load while it is repaired.
