The hidden opportunity in backup power – why resellers are onboarding Legrand UPS

Oswestry, [17/07/2025] – When we added Legrand UPS to our offering at Sol Distribution, we knew it would gain interest. Legrand is a major player in electrical and digital infrastructure. Legrand’s UPS solutions are creating new opportunities for resellers and MSPs, not just when it comes to making a sale, but to spark conversations and add genuine value to customers.


So, what is a UPS?

A UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) is a backup power system that keeps essential networking gear running, even in the event of power cuts or voltage drops. It’s a clever invention, connecting to a range of devices like routers, firewalls and servers, helping prevent downtime, data loss, or system crashes.

Think of UPS as the silent protector of your customer’s IT infrastructure, ready to step in when disaster happens.

Why every network you manage needs UPS

You might think the chance of downtime is low, but that doesn’t mean it won’t happen, and when that moment strikes – the cost of an outage can be huge. From lost customer data to service outages, and even experiencing critical systems offline, these aren’t risks that any business wants to meddle with. For certain industries, the threat of being offline is even more worrying, sectors such as education, healthcare, and local government, where reliability and security is a top priority.

Legrand UPS gives your customers much needed business continuity and peace of mind. These solutions aren’t just a box ticking exercise, they’re a smart way to safeguard the networks you manage so that you can keep everything running without a glitch.

Legrand UPS: an opportunity for resellers/MSPs

Offering Legrand to your customers is a practical, margin-friendly sale, and you don’t need to be a power expert to raise a very important question to your clients: “What happens if the power goes out?”

Offering a scalable range of UPS products, from small units to full setups for larger buildings, Legrand fits easily into your existing infrastructure conversations and adds a layer of protection that your customers will benefit from over time.

It does something else, too. It gives you the opportunity to show clients that you’re thinking beyond the basics, bringing solutions to the table that not only improve resilience and reliability, but that give true peace of mind. Build trust with customers, and you’ll begin to open doors to future projects.

Why UPS matters to business owners and end users

Your customers want to be open for business and operational, they don’t want to be offline. UPS keeps them up and running, protecting their operations, data (and reputation). If you work with schools or councils, you’ll know already that safeguarding systems is essential, and the devastating impact a power issue could create.

Legrand is a trusted industry leader, and it’s not just the name that gives customers confidence, it’s the reliability of a product that’s providing advanced protection. This simple UPS add-on is a scalable tool that’s easy to integrate and can make a big difference.
