Having uninterruptible electricity in your building can seem unnecessary. But when a long power outage occurs, that perspective can change quickly. Many companies require a constant supply of electricity to conduct business, and the right equipment can ensure they receive it. As a service, uninterruptible electricity is delivered through uninterruptible power supply (UPS) equipment. Similar to implementing a backup generator, implementing UPS equipment can bring the following benefits:
Prevention of casualties
Preventing casualties with emergency power generation is typically associated with hospitals. But it can also prevent casualties in other settings, such as environments where objects or egress paths could be tripped over or poorly navigated during low visibility.
Deterrence of workers comp cases
Low visibility work environments can lead to on the job injuries. Although your building might seem "safe," a sudden outage can turn it into a danger zone. Emergency power supply and the prevention of workers comp cases are rarely mentioned together, but the relationship exists"”just ask a workers comp attorney.
Prevention of data loss
Uninterruptible power supply service allows data centers to preserve data during outages. It can also benefit companies that back up their data onsite instead of through a data center. In the long run, implementing UPS equipment and backing up your data onsite could be less expensive than using a data center.
Continuation of critical services
A service that is critical to your business should be continued during an outage, and UPS equipment can ensure that it is. This benefit of emergency power supply is typically connected with hospitals, data centers, and first response organizations. But it also serves companies that rely on online communication tools to manage and create business.
Protection of perishables
If your business sells products that require freezing or refrigeration, EPS equipment could prevent thousands of dollars in lost goods. Short outages don't threaten refrigerated or frozen goods. But when an outage lasts hours or days, an uninterruptible power supply service can be a true revenue saver.
Continuation of business
Regardless of your line of work, UPS equipment allows you to carry on business as usual during an outage. While a few hours of lost business might not threaten your bottom line, why let one of your competitors who have EPS equipment, or a backup generator, steal your customers during an outage?
