FAQ
Should I bundle alarms, sprinklers, lighting, and hoods with one vendor?
Often yes—one accountable partner reduces visits, simplifies documentation, and speeds deficiency close‑outs. For highly specialized systems, you can split scope but keep one coordinator.
Do all sites need ULC fire alarm monitoring?
No—requirements depend on occupancy and systems (e.g., sprinklered buildings often require monitoring). Confirm with your AHJ/insurer. Helpful overviews: FMC and Herbert Williams.
How do I compare quotes apples‑to‑apples?
Ask for device counts, included tests, after‑hours/parking/travel policies, sample reports, and CFAA credentials. See our Comparison Checklist.
