Design for equipment heat, not just room size
Servers, switches, UPS equipment and other electrical loads release heat continuously. Occupancy-based comfort-cooling rules of thumb are insufficient for critical IT rooms.
What a professional assessment should consider
Consider steady and peak load, airflow pathways, temperature monitoring, alarms, redundancy, power resilience, maintenance access and what happens during a unit failure. An installer should review IT operating requirements and equipment specifications.
Useful information to send before booking
Provide rack power estimates, room dimensions, existing cooling layout and acceptable downtime.

Depending on the equipment and symptoms, see our diagnostic and repair service, maintenance service or installation planning. We confirm actual service availability after reviewing the enquiry.
General guidance only. Electrical, refrigerant and elevated-access work should be undertaken by appropriately qualified professionals.
Calculate IT heat and plan resilience
Servers, networking equipment, UPS losses and room conditions affect the cooling load. Consider continuous operation, alarms, hot spots, maintenance access and contingency cooling; comfort-aircon sizing rules alone are inadequate.
Questions to ask before spending money
What is the specific equipment model? What symptoms have been confirmed rather than assumed? Which checks can the occupant safely perform, and which require qualified work? What will the proposed service include, and what evidence will be provided after it is finished? Clear answers help distinguish necessary work from guesswork.
