How it works in Gateshead
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.

Test failover
We test the changeover and alarms before handover.
What to think about in Gateshead
Resilience
A single unit is a single point of failure. N+1 means one unit can fail without the room overheating.
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.
Run 24/7
Comfort units are not designed for continuous year-round use. We select equipment rated for it.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Gateshead are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.

Do you also cover Newcastle upon Tyne, Gosforth and Wallsend?
Yes. Alongside Gateshead, we also cover Newcastle upon Tyne, Gosforth and Wallsend. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Which postcodes do you cover in Gateshead?
All of them, including DH98, NE8, NE82 and NE83. 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 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.
