The steps for a project in Dunstable
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 Dunstable we agree timings around your opening hours.
Test failover
We test the changeover and alarms before handover.
Points to plan for in Dunstable
Winter operation
Cooling is needed even when it is cold outside, so low-ambient controls are fitted.
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.
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 Dunstable 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.

Which postcodes do you cover in Dunstable?
All of them, including LU6. 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.
Can we get alerts if the temperature rises?
Yes. We can fit a temperature alarm that sends alerts by email or text, or connects to your BMS or network monitoring.
