Why reliable power matters for Commercial
Commercial buildings depend on far more than lights and power points. Offices run on IT, phones and Wi-Fi, while the building itself relies on security, access control, lifts and building management systems. When the power drops, all of it stops together, and a surge can damage equipment that is costly to replace.
UPS Solutions protects commercial sites at every scale, from a single comms rack in a tenancy to whole-of-building UPS and emergency lift backup. We assess the critical loads, size the UPS and runtime to suit, and add cooling for server and comms rooms where heat is building up. Ongoing maintenance and battery replacement keep the system ready, so tenants and occupants are protected without having to think about it.

Common questions about UPS and power protection for commercial.
What should be on a UPS in a commercial building?
Server and comms rooms, network equipment, phone systems, security and access control, building management systems and, in some buildings, lift backup.
How long will a UPS keep my office running?
That depends on the load and the battery capacity. A UPS can be sized to give enough time for a safe shutdown, or fitted with extra batteries for longer runtime. We size it to what your site needs.
Can you protect a whole building rather than individual devices?
Yes. Larger three phase UPS systems can protect a whole floor, comms room or building, while smaller single phase units suit individual racks and desks.
Do you maintain UPS systems after installation?
Yes. We offer preventative maintenance, battery replacement and emergency support, with phones answered 24 hours, 7 days. See our preventative maintenance services.
Which UPS brands do you supply?
We are vendor agnostic. We supply leading brands including APC, Eaton and Vertiv alongside our own ranges, so the solution comes first and the brand second.
