Is it bad to keep my host machines to be on for like 3 months? With no down time?

What is the recommend? What do you do?

Everything in my lab is up 24/7 unless my UPS shuts it down in a power outage, if I'm doing any work inside the chassis or if I'm updating something. If you can handle the power bill, no real harm keeping it online all day.
