How reliable is your fire alarm system? If a fire alarm system is not well maintained and serviced, this could translate into cost for your business due to false alarms.
There are many ways in which your fire alarm system can get damaged. For example, if any part of it is located in a dusty environment, this could build up inside of the system.
It is also a possibility that age has degraded the effectiveness of your system.
The life-span of your system depends greatly on the type and quality, but in general, anything older than 15 years should be looked at carefully. Even though it is possible that it still works, it could be worth the investment to have it replaced.
If you choose not to, more regular inspections are a necessity to ensure that every part of the system operates as intended.
For any system, it needs to be inspected annually by a licensed contractor.
