From enquiry to handover in Wakefield

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 Wakefield
Winter operation
Cooling is needed even when it is cold outside, so low-ambient controls are fitted.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Wakefield are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Resilience
A single unit is a single point of failure. N+1 means one unit can fail without the room overheating.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Wakefield 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.
Types of premises we cover in Wakefield
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.

In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
