HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT FIRE ALARM FOR YOUR BUILDING

Choosing a fire alarm for your building is a critical business decision. Before purchasing, conduct some research, analyze your building, and consider your needs carefully. Here are a few factors to consider and questions to ask to guide you through the purchasing process.

Here are a few types of commercial structures that require fire alarm systems:

  • Retail properties
  • Industrial facilities
  • Assisted living communities
  • Hospitals and medical centers
  • Schools, colleges, and universities
  • Commercial kitchens and restaurants

The average lifespan of a fire alarm system is approximately 10 to 15 years, depending on the type of system and the level of maintenance it receives. Regularly scheduled maintenance will ensure that the system operates optimally and in accordance with local regulations and standards.

In addition to meeting legal requirements, here are a few additional benefits of commercial fire alarm monitoring:

  • Increase safety
  • Reduce business disruptions
  • Receive insurance discounts
  • Improve emergency response times
  • Reduces false alarms and associated fines

The duration of a fire alarm inspection and test will depend on the size of your facility. Inspections for smaller systems may take as little as an hour, whereas larger facilities with multiple buildings and complex systems may take up to a few days.

Investing in a high-quality fire alarm with the latest technology will help protect your staff, customers, and property from potential disasters. The peace of mind and potential savings in property damage will easily offset the high upfront costs over time.

You’ll need to understand pricing considerations to find the best system for your needs and budgetary requirements. The cost of a commercial fire alarm system will depend on several factors, including:

  • System type
  • Number of components needed
  • Building size and age
  • Building classification
  • Industry codes
  • Installation complexity
  • Ongoing maintenance
  • Monitoring services
