The Economics of
Restoration vs. Replacement

The primary factors in considering restoration versus replacement are: time and money. For businesses or home offices, the loss of valuable electronic equipment for a lengthy period of time can be crucial to continued business operation. In addition, loss of a homeowner's electronics or appliances can cause great inconvenience. Through technologically advanced processes Electronic Restoration, Inc. can have damaged equipment professionally cleaned and back in service in a matter of days. This saves businesses costly down time and helps consumers return quickly to their pre-disaster lives.

When fire, water or smoke damage includes high-end computer or consumer electronic equipment replacement costs can be expensive for the insurance company as well as the policy holder. The electronic restoration process, when appropriate, can save insurance carriers as much as 75% of the replacement value. In many cases equipment can be efficiently cleaned and restored to its ‘pre-loss’ or ‘same as’ condition. As a rule, savings on restoration versus replacement is realized for equipment valued at more than $80.00 (back to top)

 

Timely Service When
Disaster Strikes

Quick reaction after damage by fire, water or smoke is essential in saving equipment. If contaminated items are not cleaned within a reasonable amount of time, an irreversible process of corrosion will begin. Even with no visible exterior damage evident, the interior of electronic equipment can be severely affected with the onset of corrosion.

In a smoke environment, particulates such as chlorides or nitrates will gravitate to plastics, copper and aluminum, all of which are found in commercial and residential environments. If these particulates are found on the exterior of an item, you can be sure they will likely be present on the interior as well. As for water damage, if the item has been directly contaminated, or suspected of contamination, it should be cleaned before corrosion sets in. (back to top)
