Before we explore the types of fire alarms, it is necessary to understand how having one may help your business or premises. A fire alarm system has a number of devices working together to detect and warn people through visual and audio appliances when smoke, fire, carbon monoxide or other emergencies are present. These may be activated using manual call points or pull stations or automatically from smoke detectors, heat detectors and sound bells, sounders, horns, speaker or strobes which warns people inside the building to evacuate.
Our Energy, Fire & Security team delivers and maintains conventional and addressable fire alarms with two main options
When choosing a new fire alarm system for your business premises, one of the decisions to be made is whether to have a wired or wireless fire alarm system. Wired fire alarm systems use cabling to transmit signals between devices and the fire control panel. Wireless systems transmit signals through a radio frequency.
Both systems have different benefits and which one you choose depends on the type of building. Wireless systems tend to be more favourable in buildings where appearance matters, such as listed and historical buildings, or difficult to cable. Wired systems are more common and typically more cost effective and reliable. More details of the pros and cons of each system are outlined below.
T H WHITE will work with you to decide on the best option for your business.
