Why Ongoing Support Is Essential Once Warranty Ends


For any organisation relying on integrated building, fire, and security systems, uninterrupted performance and reliability are non-negotiable. Yet, many end users overlook the importance of continued support once their system warranty expires — leaving them exposed to risks that could be costly, disruptive, or even dangerous. 

Why Ongoing Support Is Essential Once Your System Warranty Ends

At Cortech, we regularly advise our end users and partners that taking out a support contract is more than just a safety net. It’s an investment in operational resilience, compliance, and peace of mind. 

What Happens After Warranty Ends? 

A standard warranty typically covers software or hardware faults within a fixed period after installation. But once that period ends, so too does the cover for technical issues, updates, and advice. 

Without a support agreement in place, end users are often left without access to timely assistance, remote diagnostics, or critical updates — increasing the likelihood of extended downtime, inefficiencies, or vulnerabilities in their system. 

The Benefits of Cortech Support 

Cortech’s tailored support services go far beyond warranty cover. They’re designed to help customers maintain high system availability, minimise risks, and stay compliant with industry and regulatory standards. Key benefits include:
