Fire Alarm System Testing And Inspection Service
In an emergency, it’s essential that your fire alarm system operates the way it was designed. You count on your fire alarm system to help protect your personnel and property. However, you can’t tell if a fire alarm system is functioning properly just by looking at it.
While being one of the most important systems in a building, fire alarm systems are also generally one of the most neglected. Harsh environments, dust, dirt, remodeling, improper maintenance and system age can all affect the operability and reliability of the system. Without proper Testing and Inspection you may not know how, or if, your system will function properly until an emergency happens.
In addition to maintaining proper levels of protection, proper Testing and Inspection can help reduce the expense of emergency repairs and costly false alarms.
Habitec Security provides Testing and Inspection services that ensure your fire alarm system continues to operate the way it was designed.
Benefits of Annual Fire Alarm System Testing include:
System operation and integrity
A malfunctioning fire alarm system can result in the loss of life and property.
Owner Liability
Testing of all fire alarm systems is mandatory. While it is up to the local fire authority to enforce these mandatory requirements, it is the responsibility of the owner to follow the law. In the event of an actual fire the consequences of an untested or improperly maintained fire alarm system can be severe.
False Alarm Reduction
Poorly maintained fire alarm systems are prone to false alarms. Untested or poorly maintained system can result in:
- False alarm fines, which can be significant.
- Loss of productivity by evacuated employees.
- Loss of confidence in the fire alarm system by staff.
- Unnecessary response of fire department resources.
