Fire alarm systems are a crucial safety aspect for all buildings, especially commercial buildings that may see a high occupancy rate throughout the day. Because of their importance to safety, they are also subject to a variety of codes, both national and local. It is vital that any building owner or property manager receive proper service on their fire alarm systems, not only to remain compliant with required codes but for the safety of the people in the building.
Our Montana fire alarm solutions team offers inspection, testing, and maintenance on fire alarm systems in commercial buildings. The team is located in both Billings, MT and Helena, MT, but can service the entire state. They specialize in facilities in the following markets:
- K-12 and higher education
- Government
- Apartment complexes
- Low-to-mid sized medical buildings
- Large commercial buildings
Fire Alarm Installation, Inspection, & Repair for Commercial Buildings
Any building with a fire alarm system must have it tested annually in accordance with fire code requirements. This is often referred to as ITM (Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance). Proper ITM is vital for fire systems to ensure functionality and to keep buildings and people safe.
Our team has fire system expertise and extensive experience with fire code and enforcement procedures. We know exactly what the fire department needs to see, so we can install new systems, inspect and test systems, and repair systems to help you pass your annual test. We specialize in Autocall products, but can service any non-proprietary system available, so you won’t be handcuffed to one provider. We also offer a monitoring service, delivering a comprehensive, holistic solution that can be customized to fit your fire alarm system needs.
Our fire alarm ITM services extend to the following fire system components:
- Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP)
- Initiating devices, such as manual pull stations
- Heat detectors
- Smoke detectors
- Notification devices, such as horn strobe and voice evacuation
- Power supplies
- Components that work with sprinkler system
- Waterflow devices
- Tamper systems
***Please note, fire sprinkler systems must be tested and inspected separately from fire alarm systems. Though we can work with components that connect the two, our services do not extend to sprinkler systems.***
