- Frequency variations and harmonic distortion
Business Impact
- Corrupted files and databases from unexpected shutdowns
- Shortened equipment lifespan and premature hardware failure
- Random system crashes and unexplained errors
- Voided warranties from operating outside power specifications

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the nine common power problems?
Power failures, surges, spikes, sags, brownouts, over-voltage, electrical noise, frequency variation, and harmonic distortion. Each can damage or disrupt IT equipment.
How do I know if power is causing my IT issues?
Random crashes, corrupted files, and premature hardware failures are common symptoms. A power quality analysis can confirm the root cause.
Do I need a UPS?
Any business with servers, network equipment, or critical workstations should have UPS protection. We assess your needs and recommend the right solution.
Can bad power void warranties?
