Frequently Asked Questions
How often should fire alarms be tested?
Fire alarms should be tested at least annually, with monthly visual inspections. However, specific requirements may vary based on your building type and local regulations. We recommend quarterly testing for commercial properties to ensure optimal system performance and compliance.
What should I do if my fire alarm goes off?
First, ensure everyone evacuates the building immediately. Once safe, call emergency services. After the situation is resolved, contact us for a system inspection to determine the cause and prevent future false alarms. Never disable your fire alarm system, even if you suspect it's a false alarm.
What types of fire alarm systems do you service?
We service all major brands and types of fire alarm systems, including conventional systems.
What are the signs that my fire alarm system needs maintenance?
Key signs include: frequent false alarms, intermittent beeping, physical damage to components, outdated inspection tags, error messages on the control panel, and changes in the sound of the alarm. If you notice any of these signs, contact us immediately for an inspection.
Do you provide emergency service?
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency service throughout Massachusetts. Our average response time is under 4 hours for emergency situations. We prioritize emergency calls to ensure your system is restored to proper operation as quickly as possible.
What regulations apply to commercial fire alarm systems?
Commercial fire alarm systems must comply with NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code), state building codes, and local fire department requirements. We ensure all installations and maintenance meet or exceed these standards and help maintain your compliance documentation.
