About Server Room Air Conditioning
24/7 server room air conditioning design, installation and service in the UK — N+1 redundancy, dual-unit cycling and automatic failover to protect critical IT.
Our server room air conditioning work in the UK is delivered by directly employed, REFCOM F-Gas registered engineers — never sub-contracted. Every job is priced as a fixed written quote with no hidden extras and finished with a same-day service report covering operating pressures, temperatures, electrical readings and any refrigerant added or recovered.
We work across offices, restaurants, hotels, retail units, schools, clinics, gyms, server rooms and light industrial sites in the UK — from a single split system to multi-floor VRF estates — to manufacturer specification and BESA SFG20 maintenance standards.
Common issues we resolve include weak cooling or heating output, refrigerant leaks, iced coils, blocked condensate drains, error codes and lockouts, noisy fans and compressors, failed PCBs, contactors and capacitors, dirty filters, and controls that no longer match how the building is used.

Common Problems We Solve
Server room overheating risk
Uncontrolled heat in a server room can lead to hardware failure, data loss, and operational downtime. Our N+1 redundant server room air conditioning systems provide reliable, continuous cooling to maintain optimal temperatures, safeguarding your critical IT assets and ensuring business continuity.
Need for reliable cooling in mission-critical environments
Mission-critical IT environments demand uninterrupted cooling to protect sensitive equipment. We design, install, and service robust server room AC systems featuring dual-unit cycling and automatic failover, ensuring that your vital systems remain cool and operational even if one unit encounters an issue.
Urgent air conditioning breakdown
A sudden AC failure in a server room requires an immediate response to prevent costly damage. Our F-Gas certified engineers offer same-day and next-day appointments across London and the M25, working 7 days a week from 07:00–21:00 to quickly resolve your urgent cooling issues.
What People Ask About Server Room Air Conditioning
What is the recommended temperature for air conditioning a server room?
The recommended temperature range for a server room is typically between 18°C and 27°C. Maintaining temperatures within this range is crucial to prevent overheating, which can lead to hardware malfunction, reduce equipment lifespan, and cause system instability for critical IT infrastructure.
What happens if a server room gets too hot?
If a server room gets too hot, it can lead to severe consequences such as component failure, data corruption, and system shutdowns. Overheated equipment operates less efficiently, increasing the risk of permanent damage and significant operational downtime, directly impacting business continuity.
Does a server room need AC?
Yes, a server room absolutely needs air conditioning due to the significant heat generated by IT equipment. Continuous cooling is essential to dissipate this heat, maintain optimal operating temperatures, prevent equipment damage, and ensure the reliability and longevity of critical servers and network devices.
What is a CRAC and CRAH unit?
CRAC (Computer Room Air Conditioner) and CRAH (Computer Room Air Handler) units are specialised cooling systems for data centres and server rooms. CRAC units use refrigerants for cooling and typically control temperature and humidity, while CRAH units use chilled water from an external chiller to cool the air.
How much does server room air conditioning cost?
The cost of server room air conditioning varies significantly based on factors like room size, heat load, system redundancy requirements, and specific equipment chosen. We provide fixed written quotes following a comprehensive survey of your server room’s unique cooling needs to ensure accurate pricing.
What are in-row cooling units?
In-row cooling units are an air conditioning solution specifically designed for server rooms and data centres, placed between server racks. They are highly efficient, delivering cool air directly to the equipment that needs it most, which helps to eliminate hot spots and improve cooling effectiveness.
