say about us

We found R&D technology while looking for someone to service and repair our UPS systems across our Sector. R&D responded quickly and come out to see what they could do to help. They have always been contactable to sort out our various repair issues including the complete breakdown of the UPS system at Parkes and Forbes Hospitals. They were instrumental in dealing with Eaton to organise repairs and when that failed they quickly provided a solution that was cost effective and explained the benefits of using a modular system in terms of downtime for repairs. Due to their level of dedication we have since engaged them to service VFDS and UPS systems amongst our 16 other sites.

Lost count of the number of times I have reached out to R&D Technology and had them assist us under stressful breakdown conditions. In 10+ years I have never not been able to obtain the assistance I needed to get our plant up and going. Reliable, trustworthy and affordable. No wonder R&D Technology has been around for 30 years!

In 2012 we began our partnership with Powerhouse Systems / R&D Technology. Since then they have assisted us through many major upgrades across a significant geographical region plus a number of unscheduled events such as natural disasters. Regardless of the conditions of engagement, their service and commitment are second to none. Our multiple critical business units have enjoyed record availability with direct credit, thanks to the dedicated 24/7 team at Powerhouse Systems / R&D Technology.

There is never an ideal time for our NSW regional towns water supply to breakdown and go into fault but 6 am on a Sunday is hardly ideal, however 1 phone call to R&D Technology on that Sunday morning and help was on its way. I have relied on R&D Technology for many years and they have always been brilliant.

Firstly I would like to start by saying that I was very pleased with Pete’s work on site today. He was very co-operative, knowledgeable and instilled confidence that maintenance and inspections were being carried out to a high standard.

R&D Technology were great to deal with throughout the project and provided a practical solution to our application. Daniel and Zafy were enthusiastic and proactive from initial discussions right through to FAT and dispatch.

Warrumbungle Water has been dealing with R&D Technology for over five years now and could not be happier with their service. The Staff from R&D are always helpful no matter the time of day and their after-hours service is second to none which is absolutely crucial when dealing with Water and Wastewater Systems. R&D recently completed a $1.2M full telemetry upgrade for us with amazing results, which now provides us with a Shire Wide Telemetry Network covering every one of our 50 plus assets. I personally couldn’t recommend them more highly.

Just wanted to share some positive feedback. Working with your team is nothing short of fantastic. As an individual working in the mining business the past 2 years Jon and Stuart have always been available to answer any of my questions and are very prompt in their replies/quoting. They make the quoting process at my end of work much easier and are the first people I approach when it comes to requiring technology parts for my jobs.
