Server Room Air Conditioning Installations in Bristol & the South West

Server rooms, comms spaces and IT environments generate continuous heat, even when equipment is running at moderate load. Without reliable cooling, temperatures can rise rapidly, increasing the risk of equipment failure, data loss and operational downtime. A correctly designed server room air conditioning system provides stable, 24/7 climate control for critical infrastructure.

Controlled Climate installs dedicated server room cooling systems across Bristol, Bath, Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Gloucestershire and surrounding South West locations. Server room installations form part of our wider commercial air conditioning services and specialist IT-cooling portfolio.

Service area

We install server room cooling systems across Bristol, Bath, Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Gloucestershire and surrounding South West towns.

Why dedicated server room cooling matters

General office air conditioning is not designed for the heat concentration and duty cycles found in server rooms. Dedicated systems maintain consistent conditions, reduce risk, and help meet operational and compliance requirements.

  • Prevents overheating, data loss and emergency shutdowns
  • Designed for continuous, year-round operation
  • Supports stable network and server performance
  • Provides humidity and airflow management
  • Helps organisations meet internal standards and audit needs

Server room cooling solutions

We install a range of server room systems, including high-efficiency wall-mounted and ceiling-mounted units, supplementary cooling for existing installations and integrated solutions as part of VRF/VRV systems. Units are selected to match heat load, equipment layout and resilience requirements.

Our server room installation process

1. Technical survey

We assess heat load, equipment layout, cable routes, electrical supply, access and airflow. Ventilation and redundancy requirements are included as part of the survey.

2. System design

A tailored design sets out cooling capacity, unit type, zoning, humidity control and backup strategy. Room constraints and future load growth are taken into account.

3. Professional installation

Installation is planned to minimise disruption to live systems, including out-of-hours work where required. All work is completed in line with manufacturer standards and UK regulations.

4. Testing and commissioning

We verify temperature stability, airflow performance, operating pressures, humidity levels and control settings. Correct operation is confirmed before handover.

Maintenance and aftercare

Server room cooling systems work continuously and require regular maintenance to operate safely and efficiently. Our service team provides planned servicing and one-off support, including coil cleaning, filter inspection, refrigerant checks and electrical testing.

Frequently asked questions

Does a server room need 24/7 cooling?

Yes. Server rooms generate continuous heat, and temperatures can rise rapidly if cooling stops. Continuous operation is recommended.

Can a standard office AC unit cool a server room?

No. Comfort systems are not designed for the thermal load of server rooms. Dedicated systems are required for long-term reliability.

Can you add cooling to an existing server room?

Yes. We can supplement existing systems, install additional units or design a replacement solution depending on requirements.

How long does server room AC installation take?

Most installations take one to three days depending on complexity, room size and access.

Do you offer redundancy and backup options?

Yes. We can include standby capacity or redundant systems where required.
