AED Buyer's Guide
Why do I need an AED machine for my location?
Approximately 350,000 Americans will experience a life-threatening condition each year called sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). This condition is fatal if it’s not treated within ten minutes. However, traditional first aid, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), isn’t enough if the victim is suffering SCA or sudden cardiac arrest, or the sudden interruption of the heart’s electrical activity resulting in an abnormal rhythm called ventricular fibrillation or ‘VF’. If VF is not corrected by defibrillating (shocking) the heart with an automated external defibrillator (AED), the heart will not recover and the victim will die.
Nearly 1,000 people in the United States die of Sudden Cardiac Arrest each day. SCA is unpredictable and can strike anyone, including young, old, male, female, even healthy athletes.
Because of this, an AED is recommended for any facility where people gather in large numbers. In addition, anyone who is at high risk of cardiovascular issues should have an AED in case of an emergency.

Where Can I Buy an AED?
The best way to purchase an AED is online or by contacting your nearest sales representative. Our online AED store offers several different models to fit a variety of needs and accommodations. Our customer service team is fully trained and equipped to help customers or businesses of any size select the right AED.
Before you buy an AED, it would be smart for you to know the laws and requirements that your country, state, county, and city require.. Schools, the Post Office, commercial stores, local Fire & Rescue Departments, train stations, YMCA, gym & athletics facilities, daycare facilities, church buildings, warehouses, factories, medical treatment centers, healthcare facilities, and hospitals should all have access to an AED in case of an emergency.
What makes AED Brands different?
AED Brands is the only national distributor of Automated External Defibrillators to have an A+ Rating with the BBB, a 4.9-star customer review on Google, and decades of experience tailored around supplying customers with what they need and steering them away from what they don’t.
We’re not in it for the upsell. Instead, we’ve built an organization around tailoring AED programs to fit the needs of small churches, businesses, homeowners, sprawling university campuses and everywhere in between.
How Much Does an AED Cost?
What is the price of a defibrillator? On average, the typical AED device for your business, school, church or venue will cost around $1,800, with an ongoing maintenance cost of $75 per year for each device. This amount may vary depending on the accessories, features, batteries or pads the device uses.
How do I Purchase an at Home AED?
Purchasing a defibrillator for at-home use is easy and as simple as making any other online purchase. There are a handful of factors to consider when purchasing an AED for home or personal use. We recommend using our tool above for helping you decide which AED best meets your needs.
A popular choice for home use is the Philips HeartStart OnSite for ease of use, while the ZOLL AED 3 offers CPR feedback, an important feature for assisting a victim with Sudden Cardiac Arrest.
Our tools guide you to which AED machine is best for you. If you need any further assistance, contact us via phone or email.
