Mike Adams, SSI Corporate Sales, discusses ROI in county-owned facilities. In the year 2000, we were approached by a County Risk Sharing Authority, which is essentially a Self-Insuring entity for County owner facilities. They were having a lot of problems with lightning and surges damaging the members electronic equipment. The types of facilities experiencing the damage varied from Courthouses, to Jails, 911 Centers, County Nursing Homes, and Tower Sites. They had surge suppression installed at the worst 10 sites based on the dollar amount of claims they had previously paid out at those sites. After the 1st year of the surge suppression being installed, the average loss to a protected site was down from over $15,000 per incident to just under $2,700 per incident, a dramatic savings to say the least.

Now you might ask, if the sites have been protected with a full system of surge suppression, why are there still losses? The answer is simple- ECONOMICS. To protect ANY facility to the point where there will never be any losses due to surge, would be cost prohibitive, and you'd never achieve a return on your investment.

At Surge Suppression Incorporated, we are experts at determining exactly what level of protection you need to make your protection system work effectively and still be affordable.

After regularly surveying, making recommendations, and implementing surge suppression systems that were manufactured by Surge Suppression Incorporated for this Risk Sharing Authority, a 6 year study of losses to protected sites has been compiled. The results are amazing.

As I said the 1st year average loss to a protected site was just under $2,700. After protecting 132 sites, the average loss to a protected site with a system manufactured by Surge Suppression Incorporated is now under $300 per incident.

If return on investment is what you're after, then it only makes sense to have Surge Suppression Incorporated evaluate your specific needs and get you the protection you need to reduce downtime, increase productivity, and really help your bottom line.
