Smoke Detector Maintenance
You expect smoke detectors to alert you to a fire and protect your building and its occupants. But without thorough, scheduled testing, there’s really no way to tell if they’re working. As with any electronic system, components can degrade. Dust, dirt and other contaminants are often the culprits. Equipment can also be damaged from vandalism, remodelling or servicing by untrained personnel. If the system fails to respond in an emergency, you lose your first line of defence. An ongoing maintenance plan can help protect lives and property. At the same time, it will reduce the potential occurrence of false alarms. And that can save employee time as well as costly emergency repairs. Our scheduled maintenance also extends equipment life, helps you comply with fire codes, and includes documentation for your records.
