Maintenance/Testing
Lack of proper inspection and maintenance is the single biggest
cause of Fire Alarm Failures.
In addition, Life Safety Code 101® requires all building owners
to ensure the periodic inspection and test of all Life Safety
Systems. We offer as standard, a Platinum Service Agreement
which provides for the proper Test, Inspection, and Maintenance
of all aspects of Building Fire Life Safety Systems, and ensures
the safety of all occupants. Also Included in our Platinum
Service Agreement, is unlimited, routine service calls Monday
Friday 8am-5pm*.
