Who services APC UPS systems in Canada? Schneider Electric's own service organisation does, and so do independent providers. One of them is GDF Technologies, an independent UPS service company from Montreal, in business since 2012.
Which units does that cover? The Smart-UPS range, SMT and SRT, the Symmetra PX, and the three-phase Galaxy line: VM, VS and VX, plus Back-UPS Pro units in offices and branch sites.
What does a service visit include? A written method of procedure before work, IEEE and CSA standards during it, and a written report after. Capacitors, fans, thermal images, control boards, battery impedance and load bank behaviour all get checked. Replacement batteries for the common APC families are stocked with published specifications, so a battery swap rarely waits on parts.
And when something goes wrong, dispatch runs 24/7 for alarms, bypass faults and unexpected shutdowns.
So who do you call? If the unit is under Schneider Electric warranty or a Schneider Electric contract, call Schneider Electric. A battery alarm, a failed self-test or short runtime starts with a diagnosis, then replacement batteries.
Where does that cover reach? Across Canada, with 24/7 dispatch, same-day response in Montreal, Quebec City, Toronto and Ottawa, and 24 to 48 hours elsewhere, from French and English teams.
If an APC or Galaxy UPS in your facility needs service, GDF Technologies runs it across Canada, around the clock, at 514-252-8324.

Active Alarm or Red Battery Light
Red indicator, continuous beeping, battery alarm? Don’t replace the battery without a diagnosis first, a faulty charger will reproduce the alarm within days. GDF identifies the root cause. See what continuous beeping means on an APC UPS before you book the visit.
