Customer Story

Overton Inc. manages a commercial office building in Columbus, OH.

Their HVAC system had been reliable for years, routine maintenance, nothing that would make the facilities manager think twice.

The building’s main compressor failed all of a sudden. What looked at first like a simple repair turned into something bigger that meant a full replacement was the only real fix.

Because Overton Inc. had Adaptive’s Equipment Breakdown policy, the replacement cost was covered, minus the $1K deductible, and the building’s HVAC system was back up and running without a huge dent in the budget.

1 compressor failure,
no warning
$22K system
replacement cost
$1K deductible didn’t break the bank

Real World Examples

Manufacturer in Michigan

Facility relies on one machine to run entire production line
Electrical failure halts production for 3 days; BOP excludes electrical failure coverage

Grocery Store in Georgia

Retailer depends on walk-in refrigeration to keep inventory fresh
Compressor fails overnight, spoiling $5K in inventory; no coverage for mechanical failure

Hotel in Arizona

Property uses a central AC to cool guest rooms during peak season
Chiller failure knocks out AC for 10 rooms; standard policy won’t cover the repair costs
