Frequently Asked Questions
How long will a UPS keep my equipment running?
Runtime depends on UPS capacity and connected load. Typical home office UPS systems provide 5-30 minutes - enough time to save work and shut down properly. Larger systems with extended battery packs can provide hours of runtime. We calculate exact runtime based on your specific equipment.
What size UPS do I need?
UPS capacity is measured in VA (Volt-Amperes) or Watts. Add up the power consumption of all equipment you want to protect, then multiply by 1.25 for safety margin. For example, a 500W load requires a 625VA+ UPS. We provide detailed sizing calculations during consultation.
How often do UPS batteries need replacing?
UPS batteries typically last 3-5 years depending on usage, temperature, and maintenance. We recommend annual battery testing and replacement when capacity drops below 80%. We offer battery replacement services and maintenance contracts.
Can a UPS protect against lightning strikes?
UPS systems include surge protection which helps, but direct lightning strikes can overwhelm any protection. For comprehensive lightning protection, we recommend combining UPS with whole-house surge protection devices (SPDs) at your consumer unit.
Do UPS systems make noise?
Most UPS systems are silent during normal operation. Fans may activate during battery mode or high loads, producing moderate noise. Online double-conversion UPS systems run fans continuously but modern units are relatively quiet. We can recommend quiet models for noise-sensitive environments.
Can I connect a UPS to a generator?
Yes, but compatibility depends on the generator and UPS type. Online double-conversion UPS systems work best with generators as they condition the power. We can design integrated backup systems combining UPS for instant protection and generators for extended outages.
What happens if the UPS fails?
Quality UPS systems have bypass circuits allowing power to flow even if the UPS fails, though without protection. We recommend UPS systems with automatic bypass and alarm features. Regular maintenance and monitoring minimize failure risk.
Can I add more runtime later?
Many UPS systems support external battery packs for extended runtime. This is more cost-effective than buying a larger UPS initially. We can design scalable systems that grow with your needs.
