Trade in select uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems up to 5kVA to power next-generation efficiency
London, UK – 16 February 2026 – Vertiv (NYSE: VRT), a global leader in critical digital infrastructure, today announced the launch of the Vertiv™ Power Swap Program, a UK-wide trade-in initiative. The program enables businesses to replace older single-phase uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems with innovative, energy-efficient Vertiv models, all while minimising costs and environmental impact.
As organisations increasingly prioritise responsible practices and operational efficiency, the Vertiv Power Swap Program facilitates the responsible collection, refurbishment, and recycling of legacy equipment, helping customers to reduce e-waste and align with environmental regulations like the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) standards.
While many UPS vendors offer recycling or limited trade-in options, the Vertiv Power Swap Program is designed specifically for the UK channel and single-phase UPS market, uniquely combining discount incentives and an efficient trade-in process. With the launch of this new initiative, we're supporting UK businesses to upgrade their power protection whilst decreasing their environmental impact. This is more than a discount – it's a win for energy efficiency, budgets, and operational reliability.
This program strengthens our commitment to the channel by providing partners with an opportunity for enhanced margins and customers with reliable, innovative UPS technology. The Power Swap Program makes it easier than ever to transition to high-efficiency solutions like the Vertiv™ Edge, Vertiv™ Liebert® GXT5, and Vertiv™ Liebert® GXE, enabling greater uptime and cost savings in today's demanding IT environments.
