 COPPERWATCHER™ |
The CopperWatcher™ system will protect your air conditioner from copper theft. CopperWatcher™ is the solution that alarm companies and air conditioning contractors have been longing for. Copper theft prevention is more than a security cage, watchdog or other type of warning device. Prevent A/C theft and the cost of replacing your condenser by installing the only system that monitors refrigerant pressure, voltage and all communication wires. CopperWatcher™ communicates with all security alarm systems and can be monitored by your existing alarm service. Theft of rooftop HVAC systems on commercial properties is on the rise – a residential split system or package unit condenser could cost thousands! Use the CopperWatcher™ for retrofit or new installations, and have the peace of mind that you did all that you could to protect your costly investment. CopperWatcher™ can also protect your vacant lease spaces from wire theft.

LEARN ABOUT COPPERWATCHER™
The CopperWatcher™ is the premier solution to the explosion in air conditioning coil theft for scrap copper.
CopperWatcher™ targets the connections thieves’ compromise to steal an air conditioner with unsurpassed reliability. Typically the first thing a thief does before stealing the unit is shut down the high voltage power at the disconnect located next to the A/C.
CopperWatcher™ supervises power to the A/C. When power is shut off, the CopperWatcher™ sends a signal to the existing burglar alarm system. The burglar alarm systems loud siren sounds drawing attention to the would-be thieves. CopperWatcher™ is intelligent enough to tell the difference between a purposeful shut down and a local power outage, and will not send a “false alarm” to the security panel. Saving you a possible fine with your local authorities and the nuisance the audible alarm will cause.
The moment a power outage occurs, CopperWatcher™ will still be functioning because it is supported by the alarm systems backup battery and detects theft through a specially modified and patented pressure switch. CopperWatcher™ will sound the existing alarm siren the moment a pressure loss is detected and again drawing attention to the theft. CopperWatcher™ also accepts other forms of applicable detection equipment as long as it meets the demand of the application and quality standards.
You want to detect the theft as early as possible to prevent any repairs of a foiled attempt. Some companies promote systems that do not supervise power like CopperWatcher™ does. If your only line of defense is a pressure switch then the best outcome to hope for is a sizeable repair of the refrigerant line. Our design promotes a thief fleeing an attempt to steal from you as early in the process as possible so you keep your equipment and minimize the damage.
Do your homework regarding the few systems available and ask if they are as comprehensive as CopperWatcher™ is at providing theft detection. Systems that can be defeated by turning off power, are not battery backed up or use leak prone line tap valves are selling you short or creating problems. If they are not covering every angle available to a thief, ask yourself why? It will only cost you money if you don’t.
What is the cost of doing nothing?
It’s important to know…
Air conditioning coils can be stolen in a matter of minutes. Replacement of just a single condenser can cost over $3,000.00, how many condensers do you have? Repair of a condenser coil, cut by an attempted theft can cost over $1,000.00. How early in the theft process would you like to detect an attempt?
A theft during the winter can go unnoticed until the following spring, causing additional damage and adding considerable cost to repair. Exposing the compressor oil to moisture and contaminants will ruin it and require an entirely new outdoor unit.
The Government standards for energy efficiency have been raised and condensers less then 13 S.E.E.R. are no longer manufactured. If your S.E.E.R. rating is under 13 and your outdoor unit is stolen, then you will need to replace all of your equipment and in some cases even the very expensive copper refrigerant lines. This can cost you over $6,500.00 per unit to replace on a typical 2000 sq ft house. How big is your home or business?
Roof mounted units are prime targets because they are not seen, which allows an ample amount of time to steal them all. What is the cost of closing your business or moving into a hotel for a day or two because there is no cool air or heat? Replacement of in stock equipment can take days. Turn your air or heat off right now and see how long it takes to notice a difference.
Some units are special order and take weeks to manufacture. Insurance companies can drop your coverage after 3 theft claims in 5 years. Once dropped by your insurance carrier obtaining coverage will be costly if available at all. Appearance is perception; cages on air conditioners are like burglar bars on windows, what does this say about the neighborhood and property value? Quality cameras are expensive and provide nothing but video to remind you of being a victim. CopperWatcher™ is engineered to work with the system best suited to detect theft, your security system. Loss of revenue, lost customers, loss of sleep, loss of coverage, higher premiums, anger, frustration, what´s the cost?
Can you afford to do nothing?
Doing nothing will cost you everything!
