Historically what was done!!!

• Surge protection was viewed as an add-on, upgrade or a luxury item

• It was left off a competitive quote.• Dealers and integrators were willing to risk

downtime• Let the customer deal with the insurance companies

for replacement

Can you risk the downtime?

What has changed today?

• Today equipment is more sophisticated and more vulnerable to surge damage

• Avoidable downtime today will cost you customers• More CCTV systems being installed to prevent

lawsuits and reduce shrinkage• Is a logical extension of the protection you are

already selling• Insurance companies routinely require the customer

to have surge protection devices installed before they will make payment on any additional claims resulting from surges.
