The cost of cold
When outdoor temperatures drop below freezing, your HVAC system works harder to maintain indoor warmth. If there’s a power outage, a tripped breaker, or a thermostat is accidentally turned off, the temperature inside your facility can drop low enough for pipes to freeze and burst. This can lead to water damage, costly repairs, and operational disruptions.
Sensor Systems by HSB offers a freeze prevention package that helps you avoid these cold-weather problems—even when your building is unoccupied.
How it works
Specially designed sensors are placed in strategic locations to monitor your facility’s indoor temperature around the clock. These sensors communicate directly with HSB’s fully-staffed monitoring and support center.
If temperatures fall too low, an alert is sent to your designated contact person via email, text, or phone call. This gives you a chance to address the issue promptly, minimizing damage and saving you time and money.
Pricing
The system functions as a shared-cost monitoring service. Pricing depends on the number of sensors needed to adequately monitor your facility. EMC policyholders with a small-sized office location can lease the sensor equipment from HSB for about $200 per year—much less than the typical property deductible.
