Why Choose Guardian for Fire Alarm Systems?
Here are Some of The Reasons You Can Trust Guardian Fire Services
• We ensure the fire alarm system can perform its four core functions: detect a fire, alert occupants, monitor system status, and control safety functions (doors, fans, elevators, suppression interfaces).
• We use a properly listed and configured fire alarm control panel as the central “brain” that receives signals from initiating devices and drives notification appliances and control outputs.
• We select and locate initiating devices (smoke/heat detectors, waterflow switches, manual pull stations) according to spacing and placement rules, so they quickly detect credible fire scenarios without excessive alarms.
• We provide adequate audible and visual notification coverage, meeting sound and light requirements so all occupants, including those with hearing impairments, receive clear, intelligible alerts.
• We integrate sprinkler monitoring and key building systems (sprinklers, elevators, HVAC, smoke control, door releases) with the fire alarm so the system triggers appropriate automatic responses during an alarm.
• We ensure there are robust primary and secondary power supplies and supervised communication paths, so the system operates through power failures and promptly reports any loss of signaling capability
• We keep design documentation, sequences of operation, and inspection/testing records current, and perform standard accepted inspections and functional testing so changes to the building do not silently degrade fire alarm performance.
That’s why so many organizations rely on Guardian Fire Services for Fire Alarm System Installation and Maintenance.

Commonly Asked Questions
What’s the difference between local alarms and monitored systems?
A monitored system sends real-time alerts to a central station, which contacts emergency services immediately—critical for minimizing fire response times. Local alarms are only audible within hearing distance and do not reach out to emergency personnel automatically.
Can I keep my existing fire alarm system and still use your monitoring?
Will I be notified if my system loses connection?
What does a fire alarm system inspection include?
Our expert inspections thoroughly check all components of your fire alarm system—from control panels and detectors to alarms and wiring. We look for signs of wear, damage, and functionality issues to ensure your system is fully operational and compliant with safety codes.
