Working with your electrical contractor

On new construction and renovations, many electrical contractors work with us on a parts-and-programming basis: we supply the fire alarm equipment, the programming and the commissioning, and your electrician handles the wiring. You get a fire alarm specialist on the technical work while keeping control of the installation.

Before rough-in, we take device counts from the floor plans and flag design questions for the engineer, so design issues are resolved on paper rather than in the field.

Local inspection requirements

Passaic County’s municipalities enforce the New Jersey Uniform Fire Code through their local fire prevention offices. In older buildings, inspections often turn up the same problems: failed batteries, devices painted over or removed during renovations, and panels that no longer report reliably to the monitoring company. We find them, fix them and document the corrections.
