Why Trade-Up to a KANE455? |
Trading-up to a KANE455 should save you money and will provide you with significant technical benefits.
Kane can offer a 20% trade-in allowance for your current analyser against a new KANE455. The KANE455 has low running costs because it is fitted with CO and CO2 sensors with 5+ years expected life. The costs to trade-up to a KANE455 compared to the costs to retain your current analyser and have it serviced annually for the next 5 years are as follows...
Total cost* for a KANE455 over 5 years:
| With a 20% trade-in allowance the KANE455 costs £399 less 20% |
= £319 |
| Fixed price recalibration costs for a KANE455 = £84/year x 4 |
= £336 |
| TOTAL |
= £655 |
Typical cost* for current analyser over 5 years, (e.g. a KANE400):
| Cost of service due now |
=£165 |
| Future service costs for your analyser = (£88/yr x 2) + (£175/yr x 2) |
=£526 |
| TOTAL |
=£691 |

Conclusion
Over the next 5 years the costs for your current analyser (£691) will be more than for a new KANE455 (£655), so trading-up to a KANE455 will save you money!
The actual saving could be even higher because the service warranty on older analysers is not as comprehensive and repairs may be chargeable. The KANE455 analyser is covered by a 5-year warranty if recalibrated annually by Kane.
