Copper theft is on the rise. One of the easiest and most abundant ways to steal copper, is to cut the lines of an A/C unit, of which there are plenty, attached to some 500,000 residential and business properties in the Central Kentucky area.
Perhaps the most cost-effective way to avoid the stress of copper theft from your A/C unit, not to mention the added frustration associated with a large repair bill, is to protect your A/C unit with a Roark custom-built security fence.
Did you know that since 1991, the dollar value of copper has risen from $1.25 to $4.00 a pound from 2009 to 2011*? Many law enforcement officials suspect that the thefts are to fund a growing drug trade, stealing the high-dollar copper in exchange for drugs and illegal substances.
Protecting your A/C unit now from theft could save you money and a headache later if you discover that you’ve been targeted as the victim of copper theft and your property has been intentionally damaged or destroyed due to theft or criminal mischief. The cost to repair an A/C unit damaged by copper theft can range in the thousands of dollars, a cost that can come as shocking when it happens as it usually does, unexpected.
