In this age of 24/7 news and information the provision of continuous power to media outlets, such as radio and television broadcast stations or printing presses is essential. Insufficient investment in adequate power protection can lead to embarrassing power outages and transmissions going off-air. The damage this can cause both financially and to a broadcaster’s reputation mean that most media providers now recognise the importance of installing an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system as part of any refurbishment, upgrade or new build.
You need to work with a company that understands your specific requirements and is experienced at completing projects in studios, broadcasting stations and printing presses of all sizes across the country.
End users
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 and you remain “On Air”.
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 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.
