Fire Alarm Detection
The first standards of fire detection in the United States date back to the 1800’s. With its technology and science continually improving, we have made it our primary purpose to provide the best in class products for fire detection and alarms to help reduce loss of lives and property from fire.
Fire alarm systems are constantly evolving as the technology around detection and notification expand. Fire detection and notification is extremely important no matter what size the building may be. Some systems may even require off premise reporting to a fire department or monitoring company such as Fire Systems West to report the alarm to the local fire department. As fire systems can be quite complex with many facets and panels networked together and sometimes even across campuses, we make sure our entire team is NICET certified and trained up to the latest industry standard.
Retrofit/Replacement Fire Alarm Systems
Retrofitting or the replacement of an existing alarm system is a complex process. There are many important steps that need to be taken in order to effectively and correctly complete this project. We make sure we provide a thorough analysis of the existing buildings current fire alarm systems infrastructure and also analyze the existing mechanical and fire protection system. We also do our due diligence in understanding the current building codes and making sure they are in compliance with the Fire Marshall or Building Official.
Because every building’s condition and code requirements are not identical, retrofitting or in some cases the complete replacement of a fire alarm system is specific to each project. Our knowledgeable team will work closely with you so you feel confident during the entire retrofit/replacement process.
