Fire alarm specialists
Permit-ready fire alarm systems, start to finish
Fire alarm is the heart of what we do. We prepare the drawings, riser, battery calculations and device cut sheets for your fire official, install and program the system, walk the acceptance test, and hand you as-built drawings when we leave.
- NFPA 72 design and AHJ submittals
- Silent Knight, Mircom, Napco, DMP and takeovers of existing systems
- Annual inspections with written reports in your online portal
- Cellular/IP communicators — no phone lines
Still on copper phone lines?
Your alarm may stop reporting when the phone line goes
Carriers are retiring copper phone lines across NJ, PA and NY. Fire panels, elevator phones and burglar alarms that dial out over copper can fail silently. We replace them with UL-listed cellular communicators — usually for less than the phone bill.
