Fire Alarm Monitoring

Houston 24/7

Professional 24/7 fire alarm monitoring services for Houston businesses. BattleGround Fire Protection provides UL-listed central station monitoring to ensure rapid emergency response when your alarm activates.

24/7 Fire Alarm Monitoring Services

Looking for reliable fire protection systems in Houston? BattleGround Fire Protection offers professional fire alarm monitoring that connects your system to a central monitoring station staffed 24/7/365. When your alarm activates, trained operators immediately notify emergency services.

Fire alarm monitoring is an essential component of a complete fire protection system. Without monitoring, your alarm system can alert building occupants, but won’t automatically summon help if the building is unoccupied or during off-hours.

Our fire alarm monitoring services include:

UL-Listed Central Station Monitoring

Connection to a certified monitoring center that meets Underwriters Laboratories’ strict standards for reliability and emergency response protocols.

Around-the-Clock Watchfulness

We’ve got someone keeping an eye on your system at all times.

Direct Line to Firefighters

When your alarm goes off, our monitoring center calls the fire department right away. This quick response can make a huge difference when every minute counts.

Multiple Backup Connections

We don’t rely on just one way to stay connected. We use cell signals, internet, or phone lines so if one fails, the others keep working.

False Alarm Checks

We can verify if alarms are real before calling the fire department. This saves you from unnecessary visits and the fees that come with them.

Regular System Checks

Once a month, we test the connection between your system and our monitoring center. We make sure your signals are getting through properly

Why Monitoring Makes Sense

Always On Guard

Your building gets protection round the clock. Even at 3 AM on Christmas morning or when nobody’s around, your system keeps watching for trouble.

Faster Help When You Need It

When a fire breaks out, every minute counts. Automatic calls to the fire department can mean catching a small fire before it gets out of hand. Without monitoring, a fire can burn for hours before someone notices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Monitoring Basics

How often do fire alarms need inspection?

Annual testing is required for most systems. Some components like smoke detectors in air ducts need semi-annual testing. Monthly visual checks are recommended too.

What codes govern fire alarm inspections

NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm Code) provides the standards. Local Houston amendments and Texas state requirements also apply. The AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) has final say.

Do I need to notify my monitoring company before testing?

Yes. We call them before testing starts and after we finish to prevent unnecessary emergency response.

Am I responsible for monthly inspections too?

Building owners/managers should do monthly visual checks of control panels for trouble signals.

Testing Process

How long does a fire alarm inspection take?

For average commercial buildings, about 4-8 hours depending on system size and complexity. Small systems might take 2-3 hours, while large facilities could take multiple days.

Will the alarms sound during testing?

Yes, we need to activate horns and strobes to verify they work properly. We’ll coordinate with you to minimize disruption and can test sections at a time.

Do you test every single device?

Yes, NFPA 72 requires 100% testing of all initiating devices, notification appliances, and control functions annually. We don’t sample – we test everything.

Can inspection be done after hours?

Absolutely. We often work evenings and weekends to avoid disrupting normal business operations. There might be a slight additional charge for this service.

Deficiencies & Repairs

What happens if you find problems during inspection?

We document all deficiencies and explain what needs fixing. Critical problems require immediate repair, while minor issues can be scheduled. We can often fix common issues on the spot.

How soon must deficiencies be corrected?

Critical deficiencies that affect system operation must be repaired immediately. Non-critical issues typically need correction within 30 days.

Do you provide cost estimates for repairs?

Yes, we give clear pricing for any needed repairs. If it’s something simple, we often fix it during the inspection visit at standard labor rates.

Will you notify the fire department of failed inspections?

We’re required to report systems with critical deficiencies that aren’t repaired. We always try to get issues fixed before this becomes necessary.
