Fire alarm system testing frequently asked questions

How often should my fire alarm be tested?

Commercial fire alarms require testing every six months by an approved contractor like us. Additionally, weekly testing of manual call points is mandatory.
Are there different types of fire alarm systems?

Yes, there are both analogue and addressable systems, along with various design categories tailored to the specific needs of your business. A fire risk assessor or building engineer typically defines these categories.
Can I perform the weekly tests myself?

Certainly! If we take responsibility for your existing or new system, we will assist in establishing the testing process with your staff.
How long do fire alarms typically last?

Fire alarm panels are quite durable and can last for many years with proper maintenance. Batteries are usually replaced every four years, but ongoing maintenance includes load testing, which may necessitate earlier replacements. Smoke detectors and heat detectors should be replaced every ten years or sooner if they fail.
Does my fire alarm need to be connected to a call centre?

Only the systems specifically designed for that purpose require such connections. Your fire risk assessor or insurance provider will offer guidance on this matter.
Why do so many alarms indicate faults?

Faulty or poorly designed systems often trigger multiple faults. If your alarm is showing a fault, it may not be functioning correctly. Please contact your service engineer or us for assistance.
