PLACENTIA, CALIFORNIA— Nationwide Fire Protection Corp., a Los Angeles fire protection company, announces that it will not charge travel fees to customers located within a 35-mile radius of the company’s Placentia, CA satellite location.

NFP, which installs and sells Los Angeles fire sprinkler systems, implemented this policy when the company opened its satellite location in August, said Massoud Farazandeh, general manager of the fire protection company headquartered in Denver, CO. NFP is an affiliate of American Professional Services (APS-Hoods).That means that in addition to Los Angeles, cities including Long Beach, Anaheim, Santa Ana, Irvine, Laguna Beach, Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, Westminster, Alhambra, Pomona, Inglewood, Glendora, Newport Beach, Fullerton, Hacienda Heights and Lake Forest do not pay a travel fee. The company continues to offer its services throughout California and the United States. However, travel fees for all destinations outside the 35-mile radius of the Placentia and Denver locations apply.

The volume of calls the satellite location has received in such a short time prompted Farazandeh to quickly adopt the same travel fee-free policy he recently established at the company’s headquarters, he said. As the workload in other parts of California increases, he will consider expanding the area in which the company does not charge travel fees.

“The more business we have in a particular city, the more cost-effective it becomes for us to travel there for work,” he said. “This is true even for cities located outside of this 35-mile radius.”

For example, if three restaurants in Oakland need their fire alarm systems serviced and they schedule their servicing appointments together, Farazandeh will split the travel fee among the three restaurants, making the job cheaper for each of them.

This offer is helpful to businesses in remote areas, especially now that many are struggling to make it through these tough economic times and have been forced to consider more cost-cutting measures, he said.
An age-old question is whether Nationwide Fire Protection Corp. simply increases its service fees to cover the cost of travel expenses. Farazandeh said that is not the case.

“As soon as we start increasing our prices in areas outside Placentia, we begin losing customers to our competitors,” he said. “We have no interest in doing that.”

Instead, Farazandeh is leveraging the work in these areas so his company can provide customers with the best national quality service Nationwide Fire Protection has to offer, but at a price competitive with local providers, he said.
