What Should You Do with an Old Commercial Fire Alarm System?

Old fire alarm system in commercial buildingIf you work in a building that’s older, chances are good that it has an older fire alarm system. Obviously, if you’re there, you want to make sure that people get out of the building if there’s a fire, and they need to be alerted to one thanks to the system in place. When it comes to people’s personal safety, it’s so important to make sure equipment that’s in place is in good working order.

Do you currently have an old commercial fire alarm system in your building? What should you do with it? It should be tested often and inspected as well. Is the system on its last leg or does it have some more life left in it?

Replacement Parts Save You Money

Sometimes building managers opt to have old systems totally replaced with brand spanking new ones. However, if times are tough– and they are– and it would be in the building’s best interest to save some money, then it makes sense to consider buying replacement fire alarm parts as needed in order to keep the system functioning as intended.

Sometimes older fire alarm systems have issues, just like with anything older… So when that happens, and a part or two goes bad, what do you do? You can check out Life Safety Consultants’ replacement parts/products for sale online, including smoke sensors, replacement (break) rods, detector bases and filter cartridges. This link will give you more info. Life Safety Consultants offers many replacement parts for fire alarm systems, including CPU boards, door holders, heat detectors, mounts, pull stations (and covers) and more.

Rather than replacing the whole system, why not just replace certain parts as needed? That way you can keep the system functioning for several more months or perhaps even years in a cost-effective way.
