Quality Power Solutions

What Quality Power Solutions does

Quality Power Solutions, LLC (QPS) is a privately held, vendor-neutral provider of mission-critical power solutions headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin, founded in 2002. The company designs, installs, services, and maintains Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems, generators, batteries, DC power systems, lighting inverters, and surge protection devices sourced from major OEMs including APC by Schneider Electric, Eaton, Toshiba, Mitsubishi Critical Power, Vertiv, Riello, ABB, Gamatronic, Myers, Xtreme Power Conversion, Staco, N1 Critical Technologies, and Enersys. It serves more than 1,000 customers primarily across the U.S. upper Midwest (Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa) with nationwide service reach.

The business operates across four revenue streams: hardware resale (e.g., Eaton UPS units at a 0.65 multiplier), recurring maintenance and emergency service contracts, professional services for custom power design and project management (including data center design and arc flash analysis), and short-term equipment rental for emergency and event use. Service delivery is anchored by a 24/7 emergency hotline with sub-15-minute response times and supported by certified technicians including Certified Power Quality (CPQ) specialists. Adjacent services include battery replacement, thermography analysis, preventative maintenance (recommended twice yearly), arc flash compliance, and 24/7 monitoring services covering battery health, SNMP/UPS status, and environmental conditions.

QPS's go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting facility managers, IT managers, network administrators, and purchasing agents in data centers, medical facilities, airports, government, broadcasting, and large commercial operations. The company employs 11-50 people, conducts operations from a single Madison, Wisconsin headquarters, and pursues content-driven demand generation through its website, blog, calculators, case studies, and direct outreach. There are no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, or M&A activity; QPS appears to be a bootstrapped, founder-controlled LLC with multi-decade operating history.
