What fire alarm system do I need?
The type of fire alarm system best suited for your commercial property greatly depends on the building’s construction, layout, and purpose. It is always advised to collaborate with a fire safety expert when designing a commercial fire alarm system.
The two main types of fire alarm systems are:
Addressable – This system works best for large commercial properties. It can accurately identify the location of the fire, enabling dispatched emergency personnel to quickly respond to the fire emergency. Addressable fire alarm systems also provide an efficient and safe evacuation process based on the location of the fire.
Conventional – This type of fire alarm system is not as complex because there is a single control panel that connects all notification devices. Each zone is numbered on the panel, but the zones cover a larger area. Conventional fire alarm systems are reliable and more cost-efficient and work well for commercial buildings that are smaller in size.
