How often should a commercial fire alarm be upgraded?

The time to upgrade a commercial fire alarm system depends on many factors. Some of the most important signs that may indicate an upgrade to your commercial fire alarm system are needed include:

Increased maintenance – an outdated system may begin to increasingly require more maintenance calls and replacement of components

A need for additional features – the fire safety and security industries continue to evolve at a rapid pace with new technologies introduced regularly. For example, self-testing smoke detectors by NOTIFIERâ„¢ are the first UL-listed smoke detection devices that test themselves. Companies that expand or renovate space may have a need for additional security features. Stay in touch with your fire safety provider and let them know of any new business operations or plans for expansion.

Insurance coverage requirements – some companies may experience new requirements imposed by their insurance provider, such as the need to install sprinklers in areas where they may not have been required previously.
