- Fire Alarm Inspections
Our comprehensive fire alarm inspections follow CAN/ULC‑S536, the Canadian standard for periodic inspection and testing of fire alarm systems. We examine every component—from the fire alarm control unit to initiating devices, notification appliances, and control circuits—ensuring proper functionality, supervision, documentation, and identifying any deficiencies for correction.
- Fire Alarm Verifications
When a fire alarm system is newly installed or modified, a verification inspection is required under CAN/ULC‑S537 to confirm that the installation meets design and code requirements. Our verification process validates proper installation, device placement, correct wiring, and compliance with applicable codes before the system is placed into service.
- Emergency Lighting Inspections
Critical exit lighting and emergency illumination are essential for safe evacuation during power loss or emergencies. Our service checks that emergency lights and exit signs operate correctly under battery backup, are positioned per code, illuminate paths of egress, and meet brightness and duration standards. We also test battery capacity and alarm functions to ensure reliability.
- Smoke Alarm Inspections
Smoke alarms are the first line of defense. Our inspectors verify that smoke alarms are properly installed, tested for sensitivity and operation, and located according to code. We check power sources (battery or hard-wired), device placement (e.g. bedrooms, hallways), and interconnectivity if required, and provide clear guidance on maintenance or replacement as needed.
