Before you book in Inverness
Winter operation
Cooling is needed even when it is cold outside, so low-ambient controls are fitted.
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.
Monitoring
A temperature alarm costs little compared to the equipment it protects.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Inverness 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.
Typical premises in Inverness
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.

In Scotland, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more also need a periodic energy inspection.

Do you also cover Nairn and Forres?

Which postcodes do you cover in Inverness?
All of them, including IV2. 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.
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.
