UPS maintenance isn't a "just take a look" job.
If you work with the wrong company, the result is usually the same:
"They said maintenance was performed, but the UPS didn't work during the first outage."
Therefore, when getting UPS maintenance service, it's important to choose the right company, not the cheapest one .
Below, I'm outlining the criteria that truly make a difference in the field, clearly and unfiltered.
1️⃣ Is What They Call "Maintenance" Really Maintenance?
The first question you should ask is:
👉 What do you do during the maintenance process?
Actual UPS maintenance must include the following:
-
🔋 Battery voltage and load (discharge) test
-
🔌 Realistic outage simulation
-
🌡️ Temperature check with thermal camera
-
📊 Load and capacity analysis
-
📄 Written maintenance & test report
📌 Only:
-
"We checked, there's no problem."
-
"The batteries are fine."
If it's being tried → that's not maintenance.

2️⃣ Are they checking the entire UPS, not just the battery?
Some companies think UPS maintenance only involves checking the battery .
But real care:
-
Battery
-
Charging (rectifier) circuit
-
Inverter
-
Fan & Cooling
-
Links
-
Environmental conditions
It includes everything.
📌 If they check the battery and then leave,
70% of UPS systems have not been checked.
4️⃣ Do they use thermal cameras?
Thermal cameras are indispensable in professional UPS maintenance.
Thanks to the thermal camera:
-
Loose connections
-
Overheating cards
-
Fire risk
It is detected before a malfunction occurs .
📌 Companies that say, "We looked into it firsthand,"
It misses the unseen risk.

6️⃣ “Repair or Replacement?” Are They Honest?
Reliable companies:
-
It does not replace unnecessary parts.
-
If the battery is sufficient, they won't say "let's replace it".
-
If the repair is pointless, he/she will say so explicitly.
⚠️ To everything:
"Let's change the battery, it will be fixed."
Companies that say that usually don't perform diagnostics .
7️⃣ Do you have any experience with CCTV or server setup?
UPS systems are used everywhere, but:
-
🎥 CCTV systems
-
🖥️ Server rooms
It is much more sensitive.
📌 Companies lacking experience in these areas:
-
It performs an incorrect test.
-
He underestimates the risks.
-
It misleads

9️⃣ Seller Only, or Solution Partner?
Some companies:
-
Wants to sell parts
-
It puts the service second.
Good company:
-
First, it measures
-
Then he suggests
-
If necessary, they'll say "don't spend money right now".
| Question | Reply |
|---|---|
| Does it perform load testing? | ✅ |
| Does it use a thermal camera? | ✅ |
| Does he/she provide a written report? | ✅ |
| Does it consider the battery and UPS together? | ✅ |
| Doesn't it suggest unnecessary changes? | ✅ |
In this table, if ❌ is in the majority → the company is incorrect.
