How do I know what size UPS I need?

UPS sizing is based on the total power draw (watts/VA) of all equipment you want to protect and your desired runtime on battery. We measure your actual load with a power meter and recommend a UPS with 20-30% headroom above peak draw.

How long will a UPS keep our servers running?

Runtime depends on battery capacity and load. A typical rack-mount UPS provides 5-15 minutes of runtime at full load — enough to gracefully shut down servers or bridge to generator power. Extended battery packs can increase runtime to 30-60+ minutes.

How often do UPS batteries need replacement?

Standard VRLA batteries have a 3-5 year service life. We recommend battery testing annually and proactive replacement at the 3-year mark for critical environments. Our monitoring detects battery degradation before failure occurs.

Can a UPS protect against voltage sags and spikes?

Yes. Online (double-conversion) UPS systems continuously regulate voltage, providing clean, stable power regardless of incoming line conditions. This protects against sags, surges, spikes, and frequency variations — not just outages.

Do you offer UPS maintenance contracts?

Yes. Our preventive maintenance plans include semi-annual inspections, battery testing, firmware updates, and priority battery replacement. Maintenance contracts extend equipment lifespan and ensure your UPS is ready when a power event occurs.
