UPS systems for schools & universities

The modern school classroom or University lab is awash with essential and often sensitive electrical equipment. The disruption caused by a power failure could be highly detrimental to students of all ages with loss of hours of work a real possibility. With this ever increasing reliance on electrical equipment most schools and universities now recognise the importance of installing an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system as part of any IT refurbishment, upgrade or new build.

You need to work with a company that understands your specific requirements and is experienced at completing projects in schools and universities of all sizes across the country.

Chloride understands that the provision of uninterrupted power does not start and finish with the installation of the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system or generator. We offer comprehensive service and maintenance delivered by the largest dedicated service network in the country to ensure your equipment remains operational.

In addition all Chloride products are made to the very highest standard to offer optimal energy efficiency. With rising energy prices and increasing requirements for all public sector organisations to reduce their costs and carbon footprints, selecting an energy efficient UPS system is now a necessity. Exact annual savings will vary dependent on the rating of the UPS system involved but can often equate to several thousand pounds a year, for each UPS system.

Contractors
Chloride’s experience at working on all sorts of sites, from new builds with tight deadlines through to existing establishments requiring out of hours working, makes us an ideal partner. In addition with our dedicated project management department, experienced in both UPS system and diesel generator installations, you can delegate the entire backup power undertaking to experts.
