Tech Connect

What Tech Connect does

Tech Connect, legally registered as Geometric Electricity Designs, is a Centerville, Utah-based provider of critical power infrastructure solutions founded in 1994 by electrical engineer Ray Ward. The company serves facility managers and IT directors at data centers, hospitals, server rooms, manufacturing plants, and industrial facilities across the Rocky Mountain region. Its product portfolio spans UPS systems (1kVA to 1MW+), multi-brand batteries (EnerSys, Duracell, Power Sonic, Saft, Yuasa, Technologies Power Solutions), diesel and natural gas generators (10kW to 3500kW), automatic transfer switches, and two differentiated technology offerings: the proprietary X-Switch external bypass switch designed in-house with make-before-break safety architecture (UL-listed in Economy, Premium, and Rotary variants up to 1200A), and the Generex BACS active battery management system providing per-cell voltage, impedance, and temperature monitoring with thermal runaway preclusion.

The business operates a hybrid revenue model combining one-time hardware sales with recurring preventative maintenance agreements. Two service tiers are offered: a Preventative Maintenance Only Agreement (two annual inspections during business hours) and a Full Service Agreement adding 24/7 emergency coverage with all parts, labor, and travel included. Distribution is conducted through a direct local field sales team supported by authorized service provider relationships with Toshiba (Primary tier), APC Schneider, Vertiv, and Eaton, providing access to global manufacturer parts and training. The company claims an industry-leading 4-hour emergency response time and 24/7 availability, with a named customer base that includes America First Credit Union, Bank of Utah, and a water treatment facility. The company has also diversified into an adjacent Robotic Process Automation service line, though this appears tangential to its core critical power focus. Tech Connect is privately held with no disclosed funding, no parent company, and founder Ray Ward continuing to consult despite Ben Forsyth and Adam Bennett leading day-to-day operations.
