Before you book in Suffolk
Winter operation
Cooling is needed even when it is cold outside, so low-ambient controls are fitted.
Working hours
Most Suffolk businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Monitoring
A temperature alarm costs little compared to the equipment it protects.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Suffolk 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 Norfolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire?
Yes. Alongside Suffolk, we also cover Norfolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire. 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.
