When it comes to ensuring the ongoing health and performance of your power solutions, engaging in regular service is essential. Research has repeatedly shown that routine maintenance helps extend the lifespan of uninterruptible power systems (UPSs), generators and other critical power equipment while reducing the likelihood of expensive repairs. Because you rely on these protection systems to provide continuous uptime, safeguard sensitive electronics and keep your business operational in the event of a power outage, the importance of selecting a high-quality service provider cannot be overemphasized.
Regardless of your service requirements ― from routine preventive maintenance (PM) to emergency response ― Unified Power offers the expertise, support and level of response you need to avoid devastating downtime. There are numerous reasons why, over the past several decades, businesses have benefitted from engaging with Unified Power for critical power equipment service needs. Consider the following:
Unified Power Fills a Competitive Gap
There are several types of power solution service providers to choose from, including the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), local providers and specialized, nationwide service providers such as Unified Power. While each of the first two affords distinct advantages and disadvantages, Unified Power combines the best of both worlds for the optimal service experience.
Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs)
When you purchase critical power equipment directly from the manufacturer, it often includes a service plan with free or discounted maintenance for a set period of time. One of the biggest advantages of contracting with OEM-certified service professionals is that you will generally receive high-quality repairs, as technicians are required to maintain their certifications through continual education. OEM service professionals are usually able to identify issues quickly since they are well-trained on their own equipment, familiar with both common and unusual problems, and have the tools and expertise to resolve issues promptly. Most OEMs will also guarantee their repairs and cover them with a warranty, as well as use high-quality, certified repair parts made specifically for your equipment.
The biggest drawbacks to OEM service are often cost and lack of flexibility. Typically, OEM service is expensive because risk mitigation is built into the price. In addition, you are restricted to the manufacturer’s parts and procedures, and there is also the potential for service costs to increase as parts and components become old or outdated. In addition, OEMs only perform service on their own products.
Local providers
These specialized private businesses are typically operated by a small staff operating out of a single location. Compared to large corporations, local providers are often known for providing personal and friendly service. However, local providers generally have fewer options and limited knowledge of different manufacturers’ UPSs, and their services tend to be more expensive. And since they are generally staffed by a small number of employees, these types of providers may be unable to respond to off-hours emergencies or schedule service calls promptly. Even more, because not all smaller providers are certified, you may run the risk of repairs being performed poorly and only lasting for a short while.
