How Often Should Fire Alarms Be Inspected?
Regular inspections are essential to keeping your commercial fire alarm system reliable, compliant, and ready to respond in an emergency. Commercial fire alarm systems should be inspected at least once a year by a licensed professional. Depending on your facility type, usage, and system complexity, some components, such as batteries, detectors, and notification devices, may require quarterly or semi-annual testing to ensure proper operation.
At Carolina Voltage, our electricians provide thorough electrical inspections that cover every part of your fire safety system, from smoke detectors and control panels to alarms and emergency power sources. Regular maintenance not only helps you maintain code compliance but also safeguards your business, employees, and customers from avoidable risks.
5 Signs Your Fire Alarm or Smoke Detector Needs Service
Over time, dust, wear, and electrical issues can affect your fire safety systems and impact their ability to detect danger and alert occupants when it matters most. We recommend monitoring the performance and appearance of your systems, so you know when to call Carolina Voltage for an electrical inspection or repair.
Signs your fire alarm or smoke detector needs to be serviced include:
- Frequent false alarms - Repeated alarms without cause may indicate dirty sensors, wiring issues, or outdated equipment.
- No response during testing - If your system doesn’t activate properly during a test, it may have a power or control issue.
- Beeping or chirping sounds - Intermittent noises often signal low batteries or internal component faults.
- Warning lights or error codes - Flashing lights or system alerts mean your alarm needs professional attention.
- Damaged or corroded devices - Physical wear, water damage, or rust can prevent sensors from functioning correctly.
If any of these issues occur, Carolina Voltage is here to help with our same-day and 24/7 emergency electrical services. We are available to perform a detailed inspection, repair, or upgrade to restore your system’s reliability and maintain compliance with safety regulations.
