Annual inspection and testing

California adopts NFPA 72 for fire alarm systems, which requires regular testing of the panel, initiating devices and notification appliances. An annual inspection from us includes:

• Testing the fire alarm control panel, batteries and power supplies.
• Testing smoke detectors, heat detectors, pull stations and waterflow and tamper switches.
• Checking horns, strobes and speakers throughout the building.
• Confirming signals reach the monitoring station.
• A written report for your records and the fire marshal.

Repairs and trouble signals

A panel showing trouble or a detector that keeps alarming does not wait for the annual visit. Call us and a technician comes out to find the fault and fix it.

Installation and monitoring

We install new systems and extend existing ones for remodels and tenant improvements, and we set up the monitoring that sends alarms to a central station around the clock.

Where we work

Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Indio, Cathedral City and the rest of the Coachella Valley.

Other services at the same visit

Fire sprinklers tie into the alarm through waterflow and tamper switches, so testing both together saves a visit. We also service fire extinguishers and kitchen hood suppression.

Common questions

How often does a fire alarm need testing?

Most devices are tested annually, with some components on shorter intervals. Your fire authority may set its own schedule, and we follow whichever is stricter.

My panel is beeping. What should I do?

A steady trouble tone usually means a fault such as a low battery, a failed detector or a communication problem, not a fire. Call us and we will diagnose it. Do not disconnect power to the panel.
