Equipment Breakdown is a Significant Exposure for Financial Institutions Due to Summer Weather
Financial Institutions have several types of mechanical and electrical equipment that are subject to failure especially during severe summer weather. We have tools and recommendations to help control breakdowns and the associated losses.
HVAC is Key to FI Office and Branch Comfort and Productivity
As spring rolls through and turns to summer, it’s always a good idea to remind your financial institution clients about reducing risk by managing their HVAC systems. One way to help manage this is the use of a service contract with an HVAC contractor or updated skills for the maintenance team that can go a long way in ensuring the comfort of their staff and patrons all summer long. A checklist is available from EnergyStar to help guide the HVAC check-up: https://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=heat_cool.pr_maintenance
