A fire alarm installation succeeds or fails on the details: where the cable runs, how each device is programmed, and whether the pretest was done before the fire marshal arrives. IPS installs fire alarm systems for commercial and public-sector buildings. We plan pathways and device locations with your contractors, program and pretest every point, and support the AHJ acceptance test. We also train your staff before closeout, and connect the fire alarm to doors, access control and video where your building needs it.
Design, installation, programming, testing and support for fire alarm systems in commercial and public-sector buildings.
We plan device layout and cable pathways, then install, program and pretest the system before the AHJ acceptance test. Pricing is based on the number of devices and services required, as set out in the quote after a scope review.
An obligation-free review of an existing system's panel, devices, trouble history and interfaces. It shows whether to upgrade, expand or replace. Code compliance is determined by your AHJ.
Support programs include preventative maintenance visits, a documented service history and priority response. Alarm signal monitoring is provided by a third-party central station you contract with directly.
A failed acceptance test costs you a second inspection date and often a delayed occupancy. We avoid that by pretesting every device, notification circuit and interface before the fire marshal arrives. At closeout we hand over the documentation your facilities team needs and train the people who will operate the panel. After that, support programs aim to keep performance near where it was at commissioning, instead of letting it slide, with a documented history.
