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.
How to Choose the Right System
- Coverage: Map every vulnerable opening and high-risk area.
- Integration: Align fire, intrusion, access control, and cameras for unified response.
- Monitoring: Decide between professional monitoring, self-notifications, or both.
- Budget: Factor equipment, install, and monthly monitoring—avoid hidden contract traps.
- Support: Choose a local, licensed team with documented service levels.

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.
