From enquiry to handover in the Scottish Borders
Measure the load
We read the IT and UPS load and allow for growth.

Duty/standby units, changeover control and power supplies are designed together.

Test failover
We test the changeover and alarms before handover.
Points to plan for in the Scottish Borders
Monitoring
A temperature alarm costs little compared to the equipment it protects.
Working hours
Most the Scottish Borders businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Run 24/7
Comfort units are not designed for continuous year-round use. We select equipment rated for it.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in the Scottish Borders 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.
Premises we work in around the Scottish Borders
- Healthcare and dental: clean, quiet cooling for surgeries, clinics, dental practices and care settings.
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
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.
