Introduction

Ensuring the optimum temperature in computer suites and server rooms is essential to all businesses. System failure or data loss can rapidly lead to devastating consequences. With today’s ever-increasing reliance on IT equipment, effective air conditioning products play a critical role in ensuring that the correct environment for sensitive equipment is maintained.

Being part of the Andrews Sykes Group enables Andrews Air Conditioning Services to offer another unique benefit. Our sister company, Andrews Sykes Hire, is the UK’s largest provider of temporary temperature and moisture control equipment. Our combined strengths in short term rental equipment and permanent system installation and repair, enable us to provide our clients with an unrivalled Business Continuity Service in the event of sudden equipment failure, disaster or utility outages.

Case Studies

An international corporate telecoms and network provider was experiencing problems of excessive heat in its server rooms. Rapid business expansion, coupled with the installation of the latest high heat density equipment was beginning to overwhelm the existing air conditioning resulting in unacceptably low levels of redundancy in the cooling system. Andrews Air Conditioning Services was called in to select, install and maintain an appropriate solution which would provide sufficient cooling capacity for further growth together with in-built redundancy. A key client requirement was to ensure that even in the event of a partial system failure, temperatures could be maintained within the acceptable operating limits of the sensitive IT equipment.

Maintaining a comfortable temperature within the busy Customer Contact Centre of a major insurance company is vital to the success of the business. The work can be pressured but the operators must always act in a calm and patient manner with their clients. Andrews Air Conditioning Services maintains the entire air conditioning system and, as part of a planned investment strategy, is carrying out a progressive R22 replacement programme over a period of years.
