The Challenge
What A Homeowner Save in Alabama Was Up Against
Mike, a homeowner in Alabama, had no idea his HVAC system was developing a problem. Most homeowners don’t — by the time something breaks, the damage has multiplied. A slow leak becomes a flooded floor; a clogged condensate line becomes a 2 a.m. emergency and a $12,000 insurance claim.
The Solution
How Shipshape Fit In
Arthur, Mike’s local contractor, had installed Shipshape sensors on his HVAC system, water heater, and other critical equipment. When the monitoring flagged an anomaly — before any visible symptoms — Arthur got the alert, picked up the phone, and called Mike first.
The Result
What Changed
No emergency call, no water damage, no insurance claim. Mike ended up choosing a new HVAC system, a new water heater, and a maintenance plan. Arthur went from a contractor who waits for the phone to ring to one who calls first.
“We catch it. They don’t have to pay for the service visit. They don’t wake up in the middle of the night when it’s hot in their house.”
