How Power Outages Are Destroying Productivity and Profits
Power outages aren’t just an inconvenience – they’re a financial disaster waiting to strike. Extreme weather, grid failures, car accidents, and unexpected power surges are responsible for costing U.S. businesses an estimated $150 billion annually. For manufacturers and businesses relying on continuous production, this is catastrophic.
When power is suddenly lost, production lines stop cold, sensitive data is lost, and critical machinery is left vulnerable to damage from voltage surges. What’s worse? These outages happen when you least expect them, leaving you scrambling for solutions and counting the cost of hours – sometimes days – of downtime.
And it doesn’t stop there. For many businesses, a power failure frustrates customers and damages the business’ reputation, leading to missed deadlines – or worse – lost contracts. Simply put: no business can afford to remain unprotected.
The Hidden Cost of Doing Nothing
Think about it. Every time your business experiences downtime, the meter is running. Studies show that major manufacturers face an average of 20 incidents of downtime per month, costing them anywhere between $39,000 and $2 million per hour.
And if you’re relying solely on grid power to protect you, you’re playing with fire. Without a backup system, you risk:
- Losing critical data due to sudden voltage drops
- Permanent damage to high-value machinery caused by power outages
- An irreversible hit to your brand’s reputation when production delays impact your customers
Businesses that don’t prepare for these worst-case scenarios risk becoming a victim to them, needlessly. But there’s good news – there is a great solution to strengthen your businesses resiliency.
