Fire Monitoring

Frequently asked questions

How is monitored fire detection different from a standard smoke detector?

A standard smoke detector only sounds a local alarm. A monitored system alerts a 24/7 monitoring center, which dispatches emergency responders automatically — even if no one is home to call for help.

Can fire monitoring be added to my existing alarm system?

Yes. Fire monitoring integrates directly with our alarm systems, so it runs on the same platform without needing separate equipment or a separate provider.

What areas of my home get fire/smoke sensors?

We assess your home during your free consultation and recommend sensor placement based on your layout — typically covering kitchens, bedrooms, hallways, and other key areas.

Does fire monitoring work during a power outage?

Yes, our systems include battery backup so fire monitoring continues functioning even if the power goes out.
