How we work in Swindon
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.
Install with minimal risk
Work around live equipment is planned with your IT team and kept clean. We keep work areas in Swindon screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Test failover
We test the changeover and alarms before handover.
Things to check in Swindon
Winter operation
Cooling is needed even when it is cold outside, so low-ambient controls are fitted.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
Resilience
A single unit is a single point of failure. N+1 means one unit can fail without the room overheating.
Leased premises
If your Swindon premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
Who we work with in Swindon
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
- 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.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
