Fire Alarm Houston

The steps leading up to a fire alarm installation:

In order to provide an accurate estimate, your site should be surveyed. If you have a floor plan, it will save you time if you provide a copy for the initial walkthrough. We do not charge for estimates, so give us a call at 281-591-1944 to arrange for a free estimate. The number and type of devices needed for your facility will be deterimined by several factors:

  1. The code used by your municipality.
  2. Use of the building. (Occupancy type)
  3. Additional requirements by your local Fire Marshal.
  4. Any requirements of your insurance company.
  5. Site Survey.
  6. Estimate to client.

After you have agreed to the estimate, there are still two steps to determine the final design of your system.

  1. Plans submitted to the fire marshal for approval.
  2. Acceptance of system by the fire marshal at the final inspection.

Fire Alarm Monitoring Permits

If your business is located inside the Houston City limts, you are required to have a fire alarm monitoring permit. This is in addtion to the fire alarm installation permit. The following link will take you to a copy of the permit form: http://www.houstontx.gov/fire/forms. Currently the initial fee is $50, and the annual renewal fees are $25. We provide blank form copies to our clients at the time of installation and can assist in filling them out properly. Residential fire alarms do not require this permit.

Telephone Requirements

Fire alarm systems are required to have two means of communications to the monitoring center. The primary means is normally a regular dial up (dedicated) phone line. The secondary line can be a second phone line, or a cellular backup. Most jurisdictions do not allow the use of voice over IP for fire alarm communications.
