Things to check in Dereham
Resilience
A single unit is a single point of failure. N+1 means one unit can fail without the room overheating.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Dereham 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.
Run 24/7
Comfort units are not designed for continuous year-round use. We select equipment rated for it.
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.

Which postcodes do you cover in Dereham?
All of them, including NR19. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
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.
