Fire Alarm Installation

Fires can be caused in a variety of ways. These fires if left undetected can cause millions of dollars of damage and even cost human lives. Sometimes even if it is detected early, it can be too late. However, in many instances, if these fires are detected early, they can be put out and reduce the damage and the repair costs.

The Value of Fire Alarm Systems

Fire alarms and detection systems provide a lot of value and safety for the properties where they are properly utilized. These benefits include the following:

Alert People In Building or Nearby

The most important thing a fire alarm and detection system can do is save the lives of people living, working or just being near where the fire occurs. If a fire occurs on the opposite end of a building, it could take a person at the other end far too long to be aware that there is an issue. In that time, the building may become unstable or appropriate exits may become inaccessible. If that happens, the result may be serious injuries or even fatalities. Our systems are always monitoring the properties where they are installed. Everyone in and around the premises will be notified allowing enough time to escape safely. At System Tech, our absolute top priority is to help keep people safe, healthy and alive. Every other benefit our systems may provide is valuable but absolutely nothing competes with the value of a life.

Minimize Damage

The longer a fire burns and spreads across the property the more damage it can cause. In some instances fires burn for several hours before they are caught and the local fire departments are notified. In that amount of time it is often far too late and property may be completely destroyed. Having a fire detection system on your property can help detect and notify appropriate parties hours before people nearby may be able to do so. Every second is valuable and an early detection may be the difference in thousands of dollars of damage and millions.

Local Fire Department Notification

Older fire alarm systems only create a sound alert. This is helpful for those who may be in or around the property but if the location is somewhat remote if no one is around to hear the alarm, the proper authorities could not be notified. Therefore, even with the fire alarm by itself, the property may still be completely destroyed due to the fire. Our systems not only sound an alarm to warn people near the premises but it also notifies the proper local fire department to get them on the scene as soon as possible.

Fire Alarm Functionality and System Components

Smoke Detection

A key functionality of any effective fire alarm system is detecting when there is excessive smoke in the environment. A smoke detector should be placed strategically around the entire premises you are trying to protect. Our skilled team of fire alarm installers will place detectors in the best locations to completely monitor your property.

Sound and Visual Alerts

Another important part of a fire alarm system is the ability to alert people within or nearby the structure. This can warn the people and give them the chance to safety vacate the building. Our systems alert with loud sound alarms but also provide bright flashing lights which provide another alert method. This is especially helpful to communicate to people with hearing disabilities.

Pull Station

There are times when someone within the building will see fire or other threats before the smoke detectors set off the alarm. On these occasions, it’s important to provide the ability for people to manually trigger the alarm. We place manual pull stations throughout the building to provide this functionality.

Remote Annunciator

A remote annunciator is an important part of a fire alarm system that monitors different portions of the fire alarm system. The annunciator has an LCD screen that displays the status of the various components. This makes routine maintenance and monitoring significantly easier. It helps ensure the functionality of the system when you need it the most.
