A temperature alarm costs little compared to the equipment it protects.

What does N+1 mean?
One more unit than you need. If one fails, the other can carry the load while it is repaired.

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.
