Clear answers.
Better decisions.
Practical guidance on system care, upgrades and service. Your equipment and local requirements determine the details.
What should I do if my system is not working properly?
Call (786) 580-4166 to describe the problem. We can help with service-related issues and arrange a technician when needed. If there is a fire or immediate danger, leave the building and call 911. Do not rely on a service inquiry for an emergency.
When do system batteries need replacement?
Many alarm systems use rechargeable backup batteries that charge automatically. Replacement timing depends on the battery, its condition and the manufacturer’s instructions. Use a compatible replacement specified for the system, including its voltage, capacity and charger requirements. Contact us to arrange testing or replacement.
What is the difference between replacing and upgrading a fire alarm system?
A device-for-device replacement may be treated differently from a system upgrade under local requirements. Changes to construction, occupancy or ordinances can trigger additional work. We can evaluate the existing installation and discuss the appropriate scope with reference to the applicable requirements.
Who should inspect and test my fire alarm system?
Use personnel qualified and experienced in fire alarm inspection, testing and maintenance, with the credentials required by your jurisdiction. The original site references NFPA 72 and NFPA 101 and examples including manufacturer training, NICET, IMSA, state or local certification, and qualified personnel from a listed service organization. The applicable code edition and licensing requirements must be confirmed locally.
Where should the fire alarm panel or annunciator be located?
A panel or remote annunciator is commonly located where responders can readily access it, often near the main entrance or lobby. The required location depends on the building, the system design, local rules and the authority having jurisdiction. Have the placement reviewed for your property.
What causes a false alarm?
A detector or sensor operating outside its intended conditions can cause an unwanted alarm. Device condition, location and environmental factors may also be involved. We can inspect the system and identify whether service, adjustment or replacement is appropriate. Never ignore an alarm without following your building’s safety procedures.
Will my alarm system work during a power outage?
Many alarm systems include battery backup that recharges when power returns. Actual standby and alarm runtime depends on the system design, connected loads, battery capacity and battery condition. A 24-hour standby period is referenced on the original website, but should not be assumed for every system. Ask us to assess your installation.
