Some facts you should know before choosing a service company
What kind of people should I expect to come?
Stringent codes adopted by municipalities and Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) based on standards developed by independent agencies such as the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) are compelling the North American fire alarm service providers to train, update, and retain skilled personnel. The companies are forced to invest heavily in imparting cross-functional expertise including basic skills in electronics and computer programming to ensure superior service levels. Such intensive training has become essential in the wake of continuous technological advancements and the integration of fire alarm systems with other building safety systems. However, in order to offer consistent service, companies must retain these select and highly specialized service personnel who are constantly being trained to better serve you.
Do I need an annual fire safety inspection?
For existing commercial buildings, the fire prevention company you choose should provide an annual inspection program that is delivered with both fire prevention and fire codes in mind. Annual inspections are conducted to insure reasonable compliance with the general and specific fire safety regulations for each occupancy type as specified in the NFPA Fire and Building Codes.
What else do I need to know?
Your fire alarm company should have 24 hour monitoring along with 24 hour service. Personnel of your fire alarm company should be NICET certified and knowledgeable in all aspects of the field. All fire alarm companies in the state of New Jersey are required to have a state permit and have it posted on the side of the service vehicle.
