Servers give off a lot of heat, and need to be consistently cooled otherwise they could overheat and shut off. Just like any other electronic device, if it gets too hot, sometimes circuitry will fail or burn up. Server rooms can get very warm and It is advised when purchasing air conditioning units for server rooms to have energy efficient inverter systems. Generally server room air conditioning will run 24 hours / 7 days a week  and the inverter will save energy and equipment failure. Generally cooling is only required but in the UK most systems are heat pump type which heat and cool.

Fixed speed systems rarely come with a low ambient kit so if the temperature gets to cold outside then the unit will not cool properly which is a common fault in UK cold winters. The cheaper units also have issues with parts so if your unit breaks down the part required may take weeks to source. That's why it is worth buying up to date systems to future proof your server room.
