- Avoid penalties: If your property doesn’t have a working fire alarm, your business may face fines or penalties from local authorities.
- Prevent injuries: Fire alarms warn building occupants quickly in the event of a fire, preventing injuries and fatalities.
- Protect your property: A fire alarm alerts emergency services when a fire is detected, limiting property damage and recovery costs.
- Reduce insurance premiums: A reliable fire alarm system can help keep your insurance premiums as low as possible.
Fire Alarm System Installation & Replacement
At Reliable Fire & Safety, we can design and install a fire alarm system customized to your facility’s needs and budget. We offer new installations and fire alarm replacements, and we install these types of fire alarm equipment:
- Fire alarms: A basic fire alarm monitors and alerts occupants of danger with audible and visual alarms while contacting emergency services automatically.
- Smoke detectors: These sensors constantly sample the air and indicate danger when smoke particles are detected.
- Heat detectors: These devices use heat instead of smoke to detect fires, ideal for smoky environments like kitchens or garages.
- Flame detectors: These sensors detect flames visually, making them ideal for hazardous environments.
- Carbon monoxide detectors: These devices sense carbon monoxide, an odorless, invisible gas produced by malfunctioning combustion devices like furnaces or water heaters.
- Pull stations: Manual switches can activate the fire alarm in an emergency.

Your fire alarm should be professionally serviced at least once a year. Between service visits, it’s a good idea to inspect the fire alarm components visually every month.
