Battery
Fire alarm batteries can last up to 2 years but it is advised to replace them periodically as it could result in a fault. In the event of a power failure, the fire alarm will not work if you have drained batteries. Batteries, if not replaced, can also bloat and potentially explode, damaging the entire panel and injuring people.

Smoke & Heat Detectors
Smoke and heat detectors are important fire safety devices; they are sensors that alert the fire alarm panel if a fire is detected in the building. A properly functioning detector will sound an immediate alarm.
During maintenance, our engineers will check all these periodically and if they are not functioning well, we will recommend getting it replaced as soon as possible.
Fire alarm systems must be inspected and maintained on a regular basis to ensure that they are in good working condition. In the event of a fire, if your fire alarm does not activate, things could get out of hand quickly. Furthermore, you could be fined for failing to maintain your fire alarm systems in accordance with the fire safety act.
