How We Can Help

Choosing the Right Fire Alarm System

We will survey your facility and identify the fire alarm system that would meet your property’s needs and code requirements. There are many different fire detection and protection systems on the market and we have installed and tested all of them. We do have several preferred manufacturers that deliver reliable, high-quality products.

System Design

A fire alarm system should be a silent guard that is there when you need it, but invisible the rest of the time. We can design a system layout that not only meets the codes, but also blends in seamlessly with the rest of the building without interfering with the the day-to-day operations of your business.

Document Preparation

The amount of paperwork you have to fill out for turning a building into a habitable space can be overwhelming. TechneTronics is here to lend you a hand when it comes to preparing project documents and obtaining necessary permits. We will put together design plans to present to the inspector and guide you though the entire process of getting your fire alarm system approved and installed.

Fire Alarm Installation

Once all the plans are finalized and permits approved, we’ll install your new fire alarm system in a timely manner and in compliance with all codes and regulations.

Final Inspection

After the system is in place, we will test it to make sure all components function as expected. Then you can schedule an inspection by the Fire Marshal to receive your compliance paperwork. If fire alarm installation was the last code compliance item on your list, you may now start the process for obtaining your certificate of occupancy.

Servicing Maryland, Northern Virginia and Washington, DC, we are familiar with local fire codes and regulations that apply to commercial properties. For example, high-rise buildings are required to have automatic sprinkler systems, and an annunciator panel for your alarm system should be located near the main entrance.

Local fire codes and building codes cover all aspects of fire alarm installation, including:

• Maximum dimensions for a zone covered by a single fire alarm
• Technical requirements for the fire alarm systems
• Location of the system components

In many states, installation and maintenance of fire alarms and similar fire detection and protection systems can only be performed by a low voltage contractor certified by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) or Factory Mutual (FM Global). When you work with TechneTronics, you are working with highly trained and certified contractors who are not only authorized to perform fire alarm installations, but do it skillfully and with pride in their work.
