Permit-grade design
Every fire alarm install is designed to NFPA 72 and ready for inspector review on the first walkthrough. We pull the permits, mark up the drawings, and shepherd the inspection.
Fire Alarm
Fire alarm systems built to pass inspection the first time.
Design, installation, monitoring, testing, and inspection of fire alarm systems integrated with emergency voice. NFPA 72 compliant. UL Fire certified.
Licensed & UL Fire Certified Free on-site estimates
Fire alarm work is regulated for good reason: failure costs lives. We hold the UL Fire certification and design every install to NFPA 72 standards, including the emergency voice integration that gives clear instruction during evacuation.
We handle the full lifecycle: initial design and permit, install and acceptance testing, ongoing 24/7 monitoring, scheduled inspections, and any required annual testing. Multi-site discounts available if you manage several locations.
What's in the system
Capabilities
Smoke, heat, CO
Photoelectric and ionization smoke detectors, heat detectors for kitchens and mechanical rooms, carbon monoxide where required. The right sensor type for each space.
Sprinkler integration
Flow switches, tamper switches, and pressure monitors tied into the fire panel. The fire alarm reports any sprinkler activity in real time.
Emergency voice
Integrated voice evacuation messages, not just bells and strobes. Clear pre-recorded instructions tied to which zone is activated, so occupants know where to go.
24/7 monitoring
Cellular and IP communication paths to a UL-listed central station. Fire dispatch happens immediately on alarm confirmation, no callback verification step.
Inspection + testing
Annual inspections and testing per NFPA 72. We handle the documentation, file the reports, and remind you when the next test is due.
