Quality Uptime Services
Quality Uptime Services traces its roots to 1998, when it launched as DSA Mission Critical Services under a former parent company. In August 2013, management led by John Raio, together with investors including Seaport Capital, purchased the assets from that parent; the firm rebranded as Quality Uptime Services in April 2014. The firm offers a suite of critical-power services: UPS maintenance, battery replacement, load bank testing, infrared scanning, electrical studies, switchgear and generator upkeep. It services all major OEMs — APC, Eaton, Liebert, Mitsubishi Electric, Vertiv, among others — and claims a 97% repeat-business rate from hundreds of clients across the United States and Canada. Quality Uptime is purely a service and repair organization; it does not manufacture hardware or deploy capital as an investment vehicle. The company operates from corporate headquarters in Danbury, Connecticut, with warehouse and training facilities in Cranbury, New Jersey, and Henderson, Nevada. In June 2024, ABM Industries acquired Quality Uptime to add UPS and battery maintenance capabilities to ABM's Mission Critical Solutions group. The management team includes John Raio (CEO), James Uhalt (CRO), Jessica Tarrant (VP of Sales), and Kody Pike (VP of Business Operations). Quality Uptime's structural differentiator is its OEM-agnostic service model — it maintains systems from every major manufacturer without being tied to any single brand, a position that became even sharper after acquisition by ABM, a facilities-services giant. The firm also runs a blog with operational tips, such as its 2025 post on UPS maintenance mistakes.
