UPS service and repair in Ottawa
We maintain, repair and replace batteries in UPS systems in Ottawa and across the river in Gatineau: data centres, federal and provincial buildings, research and technology campuses in Kanata, and enterprise server rooms. Much of that work sits behind controlled access, so it starts before the visit. Requests get a reply and quote within 4 business hours, and Ottawa sites are attended the same day.
Key facts
- Ottawa data centres in the directory: 3, all three operated by Rogers Business
- Across the river: 2 Gatineau records, including Equinix OT1
- New UPS connections in Ontario: a licensed electrical contractor [1], with an ESA notification [2]
- Typical sites: government buildings, research campuses, data centres, offices
Controlled-access buildings
Federal and provincial buildings, defence and research sites, and secure floors in commercial towers all need planning ahead:
| Before the visit | On the day |
|---|---|
| Technician names and details sent for the escort or clearance process | Work to the site’s escort and tool-control rules |
| Method of procedure agreed in writing | Readings and tests in the agreed order |
| The window booked around the building as well as the UPS | Bypass transfers only with the site contact present |
| Parts and batteries quoted from the last report | A report the facility manager can file |
Many federal specifications refer to design tiers; the data centre tiers guide explains what each level requires of the UPS. For new installations, the Ontario electrical safety guide covers licensing and ESA notifications.
Gatineau
Quebec-side sites, including Equinix OT1 and a Shared Services Canada data centre, get the same visit and report. Electrical connection work there follows Quebec’s own licensing rules, not Ontario’s.
