Design Your Fire System with ATP Fire

Why Should You Design Your Fire System with ATP Fire?

Do you own commercial property ? Are you considering building your own space? ATP Fire can assist with the design and installation of your fire system. American Total Protection boasts thousands of commercial customers, each with unique needs occupying a unique space. Each municipality and building requires a specific fire alarm system. Through working with the owner, engineer, fire marshal, and our supplier, ATP Fire can hold your hand through the process of installing a fire system that meets your safety and insurance carrier’s needs.

For example, do you know the difference between a conventional and addressable fire system? A conventional system does not show “ point verification ” while an addressable system will indicate exactly what devices was triggered. An addressable system, although more expensive, is certainly worth the investment as it help fire fighters efficiently and most importantly, safely, navigate a building with a fire alarm. ATP Fire can help explain and navigate to prospective customers questions like these.

As a result of being in business for over 25 years, we tend to know what each municipality requests of its property owners. For example, if there is a “ bonus room ” above the garage, the town of Hamden requests that a heat detector be placed in the garage and in the bonus room. These are little tidbits that our technicians, sales people, and managers have learned over the years that allow us to provide our customers with clear and concrete information. This allows customers to stick to their budgets as they know upfront what is expected of them.

ATP Fire can also assist you with the purchase of fire extinguishers. Unsure of what type you require for a particular setting? ATP has the experience to guide you in the right direction. Per national fire code, each type of facility requires a specific type of fire extinguisher. Having the wrong type of fire extinguisher can result in damaging the type of machinery and product in your facility and also lack of effectiveness.

Municipalities and insurance carriers require different types of fire protection. By having a clear plan from the beginning stages of construction, you will be able to accurately stick to your budget and time line. ATP Fire offers free consultation and welcomes the opportunity to walk you and your business through the intricacies of designing a fire system that meets specific requirements.
