Coverage across Canada
Response in the capital
Ottawa is one of four same-day cities, with Montreal, Quebec City and Toronto. A technician is on site the day you call for a UPS that is down or on bypass, from the downtown core to Kanata and Orléans. Sites in Gatineau and the outlying townships are served by the same team, with the arrival time confirmed when you call.
The sectors that depend on UPS power here
Invest Ottawa calls the city a global centre for telecom for more than 30 years and lists AI, cybersecurity, telecom, semiconductors, software and defence among its strengths. Kanata North's labs test network gear around the clock, defence and security firms run secured rooms, and the federal government operates data centres and offices across the region. Hospitals and universities complete the picture. Most of these sites buy through formal procurement, which our public sector page covers.

Two provinces, two sets of rules
Ottawa and Gatineau sit on either side of a provincial border, and the electrical rules change with it. On the Ontario side, the Electrical Safety Authority says almost all electrical work requires a notification of work filed with ESA. On the Quebec side, the Régie du bâtiment du Québec requires a contractor licence including subclass 16, Electrical Contractor, for electrical installation work. When a UPS project includes new circuits, we bring in a contractor licensed for the side of the river the site is on.
Departments preparing a statement of work often start from UPS service in Ottawa, which lists what a site visit covers in the capital. For departments that budget battery replacement separately, UPS battery replacement can be quoted on its own.
Area covered
The City of Ottawa, including Kanata, Nepean, Orléans, Barrhaven and Gloucester, and on the Quebec side Gatineau, Aylmer and Hull.
