Common Questions

---

How often do fire alarms need to be inspected?

Fire alarm systems are required annually for most buildings.

What’s included in an annual inspection?

An annual inspection includes testing of the initiating devices, notification devices, communicator, batteries and of course, the panel itself.

What should I do if my panel goes into trouble?

If your fire alarm panel goes into trouble, the first thing you should do is take a picture of what the panel is showing. This saves time troubleshooting if the trouble restores itself.
After that you should reach out to a pro so they can evaluate the condition of the system to ensure safe conditions for the building inhabitants.

Can old panels still be repaired?

Yes. Sometimes replacing a bad cable or field device is all that is needed to keep an old system functioning properly.

Do you service systems you didn’t install?

Yes. We have experience with servicing all major brands of panels.

Can you monitor my system?

Yes. We are partnered with a local NH based monitoring company.
