FLIR announces try-before-you-buy program

AUGUST 20--FLIR Systems (N. Billerica, MA) has announced a new direct-from-factory infrared (IR) camera-rental program with a flexible rent-to-buy provision through which up to 80% of the rental fee can be credited toward the purchase of a new FLIR IR camera. In a special seasonal promotion ending September 30, 2004, first-time rental customers can rent for one week and get a second week free and then apply 100% of their rental fee as a credit toward their purchase of a new camera.

"The new rent/buy program was created to accommodate a fast-growing number of thermographers who are finding that renting is perfect for prepurchase evaluation, as well as for short-term applications or temporarily replacing a unit in for service," said Kellie A. Hanlon, rental program manager. The program covers purchases of FLIR's ThermaCAM P/S-, E/B- and A-Series cameras. The rental fee credit is applied to the purchase of a camera made within 90 days of the completion of the rental. In addition, the company provides trade-in allowances for any brand or model of IR camera toward the purchase of a new FLIR IR camera.

The FLIR IR Camera Rental Program offers a large inventory of its latest models. Renting an IR camera directly from the manufacturer ensures receiving equipment that is factory certified, calibrated, and inspected by a certified factory technician and access to the latest equipment that some program guidelines may require. Companies that are ISO-certified can rent from FLIR, the world's only ISO-certified IR camera manufacturer that rents its products. FLIR also provides ISO-certified training via its IR Training Center division.
