What to think about in Wishaw
Winter operation
Cooling is needed even when it is cold outside, so low-ambient controls are fitted.
Leased premises
If your Wishaw 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.
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 Wishaw 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.

Which postcodes do you cover in Wishaw?
All of them, including ML2. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
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.
