What is the Lifespan of a Commercial Fire Alarm System?

Friday, December 13th, 2024

A well-maintained commercial fire alarm system is vital for the safety and protection of lives and property. Recent technological advancements with fire alarm systems have improved overall performance, and have also made repairing legacy systems more difficult. While annual service trips and commercial fire alarm testing often fulfill safety checks and requirements, when the fire alarm & life safety systems in a facility become too old or the technology outdated, you’ll need to consider updating them.

HOW LONG DO COMMERCIAL FIRE ALARM SYSTEMS LAST?

The lifespan of a commercial fire alarm system typically ranges from 10 to 15 years. This can vary based on different factors, including the quality of the system, if the equipment has received regular maintenance over its lifespan, and technological advancements. By conducting regular system inspections and equipment maintenance on commercial fire alarms, your equipment can last longer and perform better. Egan’s local team of commercial fire alarm technicians in the Twin Cities and Rochester can help perform an inspection on your system and make a plan for necessary repairs and maintenance. 

KEEP YOUR FACILITY SAFE

The most important aspect of your building and your business is that everyone inside is safe. By keeping a pulse on your facility’s fire alarm & life safety systems, you can rest assured that occupants will be alerted and kept safe in case of an emergency. Whether you need an annual facility and equipment inspection, or if it’s been more than 10 years since you’ve replaced your commercial fire alarms, the local team at Egan Company can help. Our fire alarm team partners with you to determine the best course of action to keep your building’s systems in top shape and provide comfort and safety to everyone inside. Get in touch with Egan to schedule a fire alarm inspection or an audit of your existing system to learn about options for your facility.
