At Nationwide Power, we take training and continuing education very seriously. In fact, we consider our rigorous curriculum to be one of the key components that sets Nationwide Power apart from the sea of alternative UPS service providers in the market. Our commitment is so strong, that we have created and established the industry-leading credentialing and career program – Critical Power Professionals™ (CPP™).

The Critical Power Professional™ is a nationally trademarked credential program that demonstrates a comprehensive and in-depth knowledge base of Uninterruptible Power Supply systems, including all major manufacturers and supporting gear.

The CPP™ program has been structured around the following core competencies:

• Uninterruptible Power Supply Systems / Electrical / Communications
• NFPA / Electrical Safety
• UPS Batteries
• Critical Infrastructure / Security
• Environmental Conditions
• Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
• OSHA Training

Additionally, CPP™ candidates must also study and demonstrate familiarization with the following:

• IEEE Std 450-1995: Recommended Practice for Maintenance, Testing, and Replacement of Vented Lead-Acid Batteries for Stationary Applications
• IEEE Std 1188-2005: Replacement of Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid (VRLA) Batteries for Stationary Applications.
• National Electric Code

While our team at Nationwide Power employs all the training platforms that are familiar to the critical power industry, largely consisting of on-the-job training and virtual training seminars, we raise the bar just a little higher. In 2013, when moving into our larger corporate offices and warehouse in Henderson, NV, a sophisticated training center and state-of-the-art testing and repair lab were at the top of the criteria list. Our current location offers just that:

• Hands-on training with all major UPS makes and models
• Quarterly model-specific training classes
• Live simulation with common UPS failures and forced load loss
• Access to over 200 UPS units for testing and training purposes including legacy models
• Four (4) teaching bays all with 120/208/480 power

While we wish we could round up our national Field Engineer Team for a critical power training conference, our 24/7/365 support schedule just won’t allow that. Instead, we host mini seminars throughout the year where we gather a dozen or so Field Engineers at a time, leaving our customers and remaining engineers in the field fully supported.

It is with great pride to announce that our team at Nationwide Power celebrates our 18th year in business! Over the years, we have grown to have the largest national footprint among UPS service providers, and we have built our business on one key principle: quality.

Here is what our Vice President, Jim Hallingstad had to say: “Quality and service are at the core of everything we do, and it starts internally with hiring top talent, investing in training, and investing in our team members. Over the years, we have made a point not to bite off more than we can chew, and always make good on our word.”

Our customers receive at least one customer feedback survey each year. Year after year, with thousands of surveys received, our team earns a 5-Star Review over 98% of the time; an accomplishment that is celebrated often and throughout the company.

Opening for business in 2001 with just two employees, our original business model focused on one primary aspect: Equipment Sales for Eaton Powerware. As the critical power industry grew at an exponential rate, our team at Nationwide Power recognized a growing need among businesses throughout the country. With more customers seeking greater choices on maintenance and battery replacement service providers, our company’s path was clearly established.

Within the first six years of business, our team expanded and relocated three times. With each move, we secured greater warehouse space so we could react more quickly to the needs of our clients. By 2007, we grew from 1,000 square feet to over 21,000 square feet. Over the years, our company continued to receive growth and achievement awards throughout the community and from our various OEM partners.

In 2013, we made the latest move to our current location: 1060 Mary Crest Road, Henderson, NV 89074. With over 57,000 square feet of corporate office and warehouse space, a state-of-the art testing facility with 1MW of power, and a hands-on training center, Nationwide Power continues to lead the industry in innovation and quality.

Over the years, our size and scale may have grown tremendously, but our overarching goal has not changed: to deliver the industry’s best service. Today, our team continues to set the bar in the critical power industry in terms of quality, training, and service levels with its key differentiators:

• Highly experienced field engineer team averaging over 22 years of direct industry experience. This means each and every team member goes through the same rigorous training program and is held to the same level of accountability. When service providers out-source one of the most critical roles in the organization, they lose control of quality. That is not something we are willing to compromise.
• Our national footprint allows for same day response in most areas. When we say we do not bite off more than we can chew, we mean it. We have acquired many customers over the years from other companies that over-promise and under-deliver.
• Industry leading 57,000 square foot warehouse with over $10 million in UPS equipment and parts inventory. This allows us to service legacy equipment that oftentimes the OEM would deem obsolete.
• State-of-the art testing facility with 1MW of power and a repair lab that allows for board level testing.
• Corporate office and warehouse location in Henderson, NV – less than 10 minutes from the McCarran International Airport allows for expedited parts shipping.
• 24-7-365 live support for contracted customers.
• Safety-first workplace with nearly 1 million hours injury-free and incident-free.

According to Hallingstad, “We simply never would have achieved this kind of growth without the team we have in place. With roughly 100 team members, each and every one of us plays a significant role in the level of quality we deliver, to the success of our business, and ultimately, keeping our customers always on. We also can’t say enough about our great partners like Eaton and CSB. Without great partners we would not have been able to be this successful. People. Product. Process.”

Here’s to the next 18 successful years!
