Fire Alarm Systems: You Have a Choice in Who Maintains Them

When it comes to your fire alarm system, you might think you're locked into using the same company that installed it—especially if it’s a proprietary panel. But here’s something many building owners and managers don’t realize: you are not required to use the original installer or a proprietary dealer to maintain your system.

According to NFPA 72, the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, any licensed and qualified fire alarm contractor is permitted to inspect, test, maintain, and repair your fire alarm system. The only time manufacturer certification is required is during programming—when updates to the fire alarm control panel are necessary.
