A single unit is a single point of failure. N+1 means one unit can fail without the room overheating.

Comfort units are not designed for continuous year-round use. We select equipment rated for it.

Which postcodes do you cover in Widnes?

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.
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.
