Fires are more common than most people realize. According to the National Fire Protection Association, there are over 100,000 fires in non-residential buildings yearly. Your fire alarm is the building’s first line of defense against flames, but it’s essential that you invest in regular check-ups and here’s why.

1. Insurance

Most insurance policies include a clause that you must perform regular maintenance. Insurance companies know that fire alarm inspections are one of the best forms of preventative maintenance. A working fire alarm can lead to significantly fewer damages and insurance payouts. This works out well for businesses and insurance companies.

2. Safety

More than anything, fire alarm inspections can save lives. People can get trapped in a fire, leading to significant injuries or them losing their life. Everyone in the building must be as safe as possible, which means a working fire alarm system. An inspector will ensure that every part of the system works, including your sprinkler system, to help keep people safe in an emergency.

3. Cost

Fire alarm inspections may cost money initially but can save you money in the long run. Professionals will spot minor repairs during inspections so you can get them fixed before they become more significant. This also ensures your alarm system lasts longer, saving you money on costly replacements.

4. Compliance

Most business buildings must be up to code to guarantee safety. Regular safety inspections are included in many jurisdictions to ensure the safety of everyone in the building. If your building is not up to code, it can get shut down. Investing in regular inspections can help you keep your doors open, further helping you save money.

5. Peace of Mind

Regular inspections can give you peace of mind. You’ll be able to sleep peacefully at night knowing you’ll be alerted if there’s a fire. Owners will rest assured that they will be covered by insurance because their building is being inspected regularly. You can’t put a price tag on peace of mind.
