Fire Alarms

What does your fire alarm need?

• Regular servicing: Fire alarm systems should be serviced regularly by a qualified professional to ensure that all components are functioning correctly. This should be done at least once a year, but may need to be done more frequently depending on the size and complexity of your system.

• Testing: In addition to regular servicing, fire alarm systems should be tested regularly to ensure that all components are working properly. This should include testing of smoke detectors, heat detectors, and manual call points.

• Battery replacement: Most fire alarm systems have backup batteries in case of a power failure. These batteries should be checked regularly and replaced as needed to ensure that they will function in the event of an emergency.

• Record keeping: It’s important to keep records of all fire alarm maintenance and testing, including dates, any repairs or replacements made, and the name of the company or technician who performed the work.

• Compliance: Depending on the type of building you have, there may be specific regulations or requirements for fire alarm maintenance and servicing. It’s important to ensure that your system is compliant with any relevant laws or regulations.

• Overall, maintaining and servicing your fire alarm system is critical to ensure that it will function properly in the event of a fire. Regular servicing, testing, battery replacement, record keeping, and compliance with regulations are all important aspects of fire alarm maintenance and servicing. Be sure to work with a qualified professional to ensure that your fire alarm system is properly maintained and will provide the early warning you need in case of an emergency.
