Do you think you’re getting the best deal on your fire alarm and sprinkler services? If you have a separate fire alarm and sprinkler contractor then you’re overpaying for their services. The good news is you can save 15 to 20 percent per year on these services. Additionally, you can efficiently manage fire and life safety services by combining your fire alarm and sprinkler contract. Purchasing these services from one contractor will save you money and time. Here’s how:

  • Combine multiple services into one visit
  • Less time spent managing relationships
  • Less time necessary for testing/servicing

Save Money

On average, separate companies will spend a combined 34 hours per year inspecting and testing fire alarms, fire sprinklers, and fire pumps. Whereas one fire protection company will spend 28 hours performing the same services. They spend 6 hours less because they can perform multiple services in one visit. Additionally, certain segments in testing will only have to be tested and accounted for once. For example parts of a fire alarm and fire sprinkler system test overlap. During a fire alarm test, the technician has to check tamper, waterflow, and pressure switches even though they’re part of the sprinkler system. When one fire protection contractor performs both the fire alarm and fire sprinkler testing they’ll perform both tests at once. Therefore cutting back on labor time and passing the savings onto you.

Save Time

Staying on top of fire and life safety services is much easier when there’s one less contractor to manage. When you have separate contractors you have to keep track of two of everything: contact information, service records, contract documents, and invoices. By combining your fire alarm and sprinkler contract and by working with one company, you’ll spend less time scheduling and coordinating services to eliminate interruptions, reviewing inspection and testing reports, and verifying invoices. Overall, you’ll spend less time managing fire alarm and sprinkler services.

A combined fire alarm and sprinkler contract will provide you with the best pricing for these services. On average you’ll save 15 to 20 percent per year on fire alarm and sprinkler services. Additionally, you’ll spend less time managing fire protection services because there’s less information to keep track of and review with one service provider. So when your fire alarm and sprinkler contracts end consider combining them in order to save money and time.
