Aging electrical equipment requires more maintenance and is more likely to fail than a newer system. It could even pose serious safety risks. However, replacing a worn down or obsolete electrical distribution system asset is no minor or inexpensive task. Vertiv’s complete range of life-extension services helps you take advantage of the latest technology without incurring high replacement costs.
