Fire alarm monitoring & NFPA-aware support
Fire alarms are a core service. We provide professional central-station monitoring for residential and light-commercial fire systems in New Hampshire with NICET-credentialed technicians, AHJ coordination, and clear documentation. Whether you need a new communicator, takeover of an existing panel, or help reducing nuisance trips, we’ll build a plan that gets you compliant and protected.
| Signal / Device | Examples | What Monitoring Does |
|---|---|---|
| Waterflow | Sprinkler flow switch | Immediate fire dispatch per call list & AHJ expectations |
| Manual Pull | Pull stations at exits/corridors | Dispatch and notify responsible parties |
| Smoke / Heat | System detectors, duct detectors, elevator recall inputs | Dispatch; notes capture for device/zone identification |
| Supervisory | Valve tamper, low air, pump trouble | Notify responsible parties for prompt correction (non-emergency) |
| Trouble / Power | AC fail, battery, ground fault | Schedule service and reduce nuisance/impairment time |
Planning information only—verify devices, testing cadence, and paperwork with your local AHJ. Ask us about inspections and acceptance testing.
Low-temperature & water leak monitoring
Prevent costly water damage and freeze events. Pair low-temperature and water leak sensors with notifications and dispatch to protect pipes, finishes, and inventory.
- Setpoints and sensor placement for basements, mechanical rooms, and vulnerable runs
- App alerts and automation (e.g., shutoff valves, thermostat adjustments)
- Seasonal checklists for vacancy and shoulder seasons
| Scenario | Recommended Sensors | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Primary home | Low-temp near mechanicals; leak sensors near heaters, sinks, laundry | Early alerts; consider water shutoff integration |
| Retail/office | Leak sensors near restrooms/back-of-house; low-temp near mechanicals | After-hours alerts to managers or building services |
| Lakes Region/seasonal | Low-temp at remote corners; leak sensors by water heater & main | Use scenes for vacancy; verify cell coverage or add external antenna |

FAQs
Can you activate or switch my monitoring without replacing my panel?
Often, yes. Many Qolsys and compatible legacy panels work with Alarm.com once provisioned. If a radio module swap or firmware update is required, we’ll outline it before any work begins.
Do you offer remote activation in New Hampshire?
For many Alarm.com systems, yes—after compatibility checks. If a site visit is required (hardware upgrade/diagnostics), we’ll schedule on-site service.
Will I get an insurance certificate?
Yes. Upon activation, we can issue a monitoring certificate for your insurer.
Can you monitor my existing commercial fire panel?
Often, yes. We can connect through a compatible communicator (IP/cellular) or recommend a simple upgrade path if required by the AHJ. We’ll review your panel model, documentation, and recent test results before proceeding.
Do you handle NFPA 72 inspections and acceptance tests?
Yes—we can schedule periodic inspections and help coordinate acceptance testing with your AHJ. We also provide monitoring certificates and test reports for records.
What add-ons do New Hampshire customers choose most?
Monitored smoke/CO, low-temperature sensors, water leak detection, and video deterrence are common—especially for seasonal homes and after-hours sites.
