## Frequently asked questions
### How much does a fire alarm system cost?
Mid-size commercial buildings (40K–150K sq ft) typically run $35K–$180K depending on device count, voice-evac scope, and integration with sprinkler/smoke-control. We provide stamped engineering drawings and a fixed-price proposal after a free site survey.

### How often does the system need to be inspected?
NFPA-72 requires annual testing of every initiating and notification device, plus sensitivity testing for smoke detectors every two years. Quarterly visual inspections are required for sprinkler waterflow integrations. We bundle all of it into a single annual contract.

### Can you take over an existing system?
Yes. We routinely take over Notifier, Edwards/EST, Simplex, Honeywell, and Mircom panels from prior providers. Free transition assessment, including a code-compliance review of the existing install. Most takeovers don’t require panel replacement.

### What happens if the system goes into trouble?
Trouble signals come into our UL-listed central station 24/7. We notify your designated contact within 15 minutes and dispatch a service tech for any condition that affects life-safety operation. Most trouble events are resolved on-site within 4 business hours.
