Life-saving Backup and Uninterruptible
Power Supply Systems

A power outage is a nightmare scenario for any healthcare professional, and luckily we can help medical and healthcare facilities avoid such an event with resilient uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems and reliable standby generators.

A continuous source of power is vital in any healthcare setting to protect and maintain power supply for operating theatres, intensive care units, life support systems, control centres and specialist equipment.

Regular maintenance is crucial to guarantee that your generator, backup power or UPS system will supply power when you need it most. Our dedicated
engineers provide 24/7 maintenance support for critical sectors with a UPS maintenance and callout plan.

Reducing Healthcare Emissions & Energy Costs with CHP Systems

CHP (combined heat and power) systems generate heat and power simultaneously. Where there is a hot water demand as well as heat, these systems can save up to 30% on carbon emissions and help your healthcare facility, care home or hospital save a significant sum on energy bills and meet your sustainability goals.

We can review your facility’s power usage and deliver and install a premium CHP solution suited to your requirements, with the highest ROI. As medical settings like hospitals function every hour of every day, round-the-clock energy is costly yet essential.

Not only do CHP systems provide a reliable supply of heat and power, but are cost-effective and can reduce your carbon footprint with a greener and more efficient energy supply. CHP provides power resilience as you are generating your own power onsite, independent of the national grid.
