Hi everyone,
Do you have UPS (Uninterrupted power supplies) in your coworking spaces?
I´ve been searching and they are quite expensive for multiple computers.
Is it worth it? Or how do you keep your client´s equipment safe from electric shutdowns ?
Thank you
I think that is a big undertaking for your private spaces. Thst is something you should pass on to your members price wise.
But even at that if you provide the UPC backups that’s more liability on you that your not really needing on your shoulders. If it goes down your members will blame you rather than the power company (which is out of your control)
Just my 2 cents.

I've seen a full-site generator provide real value in parts of the world where power commonly goes out - usually in countries where that infrastructure is underdeveloped (eg India, Africa, some parts of south east Asia).
That said, most places don't experience (or expect) these kinds of outages.
And depending on your community, you're very likely to find a large % of people use laptops...which have built in UPS as they have their own batteries 
For example our community is 95%+ laptops, even folks with dedicated desks dock their laptops to bigger screens, etc.
If you want to put a UPS somewhere I recommend it on your network setup so that even if the power goes out your internet has a chance of staying up. But honestly in most places (even developed cities) the internet is more likely to go out than the power.
Power strips with surge protection are much less expensive (no battery) but help deliver power to members, and provide *light* protection against power surges.
Fwiw in 12 years we've never had equipment damaged by a surge and zero requests for 100% redundant backup power.

Alex, I love hearing you say this -- and I don't usually think of our town
(Felton) in Santa Cruz County, CA as being underdeveloped -- but our power
goes out at least a few times a year. We have a backup generator, and all
of the members step out and count the 5 seconds until power comes back up
when we lose it! (Believe it or not, we consider ourselves part of the
Silicon Valley!)
