If 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?
Replace the System or Use Replacement Fire Alarm Parts?
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.
Before making any decisions, conduct a thorough assessment of your existing fire alarm system. Is the system still functional? How old is it, and does it meet current safety standards and building codes?
Replacement Fire Alarm Parts
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. 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.
Commercial fire alarm systems are designed for longevity, but over time, some components may fail due to age or wear and tear. By replacing individual parts as needed, you can extend the lifespan of your entire system. This allows businesses to get the maximum use out of their existing infrastructure without the disruption of a full system overhaul.
Replacement parts can refresh an aging system, bringing it back to peak performance without requiring a complete upgrade. In this way, regular maintenance and part replacement act as a way to “future-proof” the system, ensuring that it continues to function effectively for years to come.
Moreover, replacing an entire fire alarm system is not only costly but can also be disruptive to daily business operations. Depending on the size and complexity of your facility, installing a new system may require shutting down parts of your building, which can negatively impact productivity.
In contrast, replacing a single malfunctioning component—such as a control panel, sensor, or alarm bell—can be done quickly and efficiently with minimal interruption to daily activities. In many cases, facilities can continue operating normally while a technician replaces the part.
