OPEX long term contracts include all parts, servicing and replacement. These can be one-year, multiple years, even up to 10 years or more. Cost effective, knowing what the life cycle cost of the UPS system will be from day one.
OPEX is a useful tool for any Long Term financial planning.
UPS SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
Having a routine maintenance plan in place, ensures optimal performance.
As well as providing both an advanced warning and peace of mind, knowing that should a power outage occur, your UPS will instantly without any break support your critical load 24 hours a day.
Power Continuity Ltd. have over 30 years combined experience offering UPS service & maintenance across the UK and Ireland. All our UPS service engineers are fully trained and certified, offering 24-7 emergency call out across the country, engineers on site, when you need power protection the most, we’ re there for you.
EVER HAD A UPS fail?
This happened to the University of Liverpool Foundation Trust Hospital in 2025.
Although, not under contract at the time, Power Continuity Ltd., received an emergency call request,“ Could we replace a main UPS system that has failed at the Hospital in Liverpool, and we need it replaced today, same day?” No other UPS company could offer a response. We immediately offered to help. By the end of that day, a brand NEW UPS was installed and operational, same day.
What level of service does your existing service contractor provide? 24-7 Technical help by trained engineers on the end of the phone? Same day response on site?
NEED ADDITIONAL AUTONOMY?
UPS containers all come with battery autonomy, from 10 minutes to 2 hours,( load dependent)
Never be afraid to ask for help. There’ s plenty of our engineering experience at hand.
We can use your site generator for extended autonomy during a power cut.
On the other hand, Power Continuity Design, Build & Install complete automatic protection power systems. Round table discussions, covering site upgrades, extensions, additional site requirements, especially when undertaken on site, are extremely beneficial.
Power Continuity can provide temporary generator backup for all our UPS containers as well as bespoke built diesel containerised generators from 200kVA up to 4,000 kVA sets.
WHAT ABOUT future planning and projects?
As the power requirements for every Critical Site is increasing, and the more technical equipment installed, requires more and more power, it’ s inevitable that power management will be stretched. Finer tolerances between benefits and loses become a facilities managers daily tightrope walk.
One useful approach is a centralised UPS Containerised systems that cover a whole building, or buildings, rather than random UPS systems across multiple floors. These allow a“ UPS” circuit ring to provide clear power from RED sockets. Such a UPS solution would have redundancy, of N + 1 or N + 2 and can be located within the building, or external as a containerised solution. Single point of control and servicing.
As an alternative, the benefits of a UPS containerised solution, are endless.
For one, these are self-contained. All the Air / Con, Switchgear, Bypass Switches, separate battery rooms and security all arrive on site complete. No requirement to lose valuable building space, better still, should your site undergo a transformation in the years to come, then these can be disconnected and relocated across the site with minimal disruption. No building works required. Decommission, upload and relocate. Then re-connect and ready to provide power protection once more.
It’ s an asset that gives and keep giving for years to come.
AVAILABILITY
Our comprehensive approach will identify areas of potential weakness in your existing critical power protection systems. Then we can design and build your bespoke UPS containerised system, with all the features that your site requires and more. Future Proofing your site.
