Things to check in Edinburgh
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 Edinburgh 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.
Winter operation
Cooling is needed even when it is cold outside, so low-ambient controls are fitted.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Edinburgh are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Who we work with in Edinburgh

Two rules matter for most businesses in Scotland: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for systems of 12 kW or more.
Questions about server room cooling in Edinburgh
How much does server room cooling cost in Edinburgh?
Guide prices in Edinburgh run from about £3,795 to £14,350 per room (duty/standby pair), plus VAT. A typical job (small comms room, 2–5 kW IT load, N+1 pair) costs £3,795–£8,595 plus VAT. We fix the price in writing after a free survey.
Do you also cover the Lothians, Fife and Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire?
Yes. Alongside Edinburgh, we also cover the Lothians, Fife and Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
How often should server room units be serviced?
At least twice a year, because they run continuously. Filters may need cleaning more often in dusty rooms.
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.
