Why Fire Alarm Systems Matter

Fire alarms are your first line of defense against fast-moving hazards. A well-engineered system delivers early detection, faster response, and documented compliance.

  • Early detection: Photoelectric smoke, heat, and CO sensing provide rapid, reliable alerts.
  • Life safety: Seconds count—automatic notification and audible/visual signals accelerate evacuation.
  • Property protection: Quick detection helps contain damage and downtime.
  • Monitoring & dispatch: Professional monitoring routes signals for prompt response.

Intrusion (Burglar) Alarm Systems

Modern intrusion systems deter crime, verify activity, and alert you—on-site and on your phone—so you can act fast.

  • Deterrence: Visible sensors, sirens, and signage discourage intruders.
  • Immediate alerts: Doors, windows, glassbreak, and motion events notify users and monitoring.
  • App control: Arm/disarm, user codes, and event history from your smartphone.
  • Professional monitoring: Priority dispatch for verified alarms.

Home vs. Business Programming

  • Residential: One-touch stay/away arming for simplicity; entry/exit delays tuned for daily routines.
  • Commercial: One-touch arming typically disabled; user code arming and audit trail to track who armed/disarmed and when.

FAQs

Do I need professional monitoring?
Professional monitoring speeds up dispatch and satisfies many insurance and code requirements. App-only alerts are useful but not a substitute for UL monitoring.
Can you take over my existing system?
Yes—most panels and devices can be evaluated for takeover, upgrade, or communicator swap to cellular/IP.
Will I need permits or inspections?
Fire alarm work typically requires permits and an AHJ inspection. Intrusion permits vary by municipality. We handle the paperwork and scheduling.
Do you require long-term contracts?
No. We offer service-forward monitoring without long commitments.
