Copper-clad steel tracer wire offers significant financial advantages that become clear when examining complete lifecycle costs. While the initial price appears higher than basic copper wire, the long-term savings make it the smarter investment.
First, consider installation savings.
Our durable wire installs faster because crews don’t need to handle it carefully. They can work at normal speed without worrying about breaks. For example, Texas crews report completing jobs thirty percent quicker. This speed means lower labor costs immediately.
Next, examine replacement savings.
Standard copper wires typically need replacement every eight years. Our solution lasts twenty-five years or more. Ohio utilities saved fifteen thousand dollars per mile by avoiding these replacement cycles. That’s money that can fund other important projects.
Additionally, maintenance costs drop dramatically.
With traditional wire, teams spend countless hours troubleshooting weak signals. Our reliable product requires almost no maintenance. Phoenix reduced their annual maintenance budget from eighty-five thousand dollars to just twelve thousand after switching.
Beyond these direct savings, several indirect benefits emerge.
Insurance premiums often decrease because reliable systems mean fewer claims. Customer satisfaction improves when service interruptions decrease. Workers become more productive when they’re not constantly repairing failed wires.
The financial case becomes clear when viewing total cost of ownership.
While our wire costs slightly more upfront, it saves money every year thereafter. Utilities that make the switch typically see full payback within three to five years. After that, all savings go straight to the bottom line.
To help visualize these savings, we offer a free cost calculator.
Simply input your current expenses and project details. The tool will generate customized projections showing your potential five, ten, and twenty-year savings. Many clients are surprised to discover savings exceeding half a million dollars on modest systems.
