Everyone deserves to live and work in a safe environment but what can you do to ensure your home or business is as safe as possible?
High-quality, properly installed fire protection is one way to safeguard your property and the people in it.
Fire protection includes precautionary and fire-fighting equipment like smoke alarms, fire extinguishers and sprinkler systems – all of which requires expert design, installation and regular maintenance. If you’re like most people, you probably don’t want dodgy or poorly maintained fire protection in an emergency.
In this article, we’ll outline what to look for in a fire protection service provider, and where to find the best in Canberra.
Let’s get right to it.
What makes a great fire protection service provider?
Because of the important role that fire protection plays in keeping your home or workplace safe, it pays to choose your fire protection service provider wisely.
We suggest keeping an eye out for the following when selecting a fire protection service provider:
- Relevant accreditations and insurances. Fire protection service providers are required to hold certain accreditations and insurances. These ensure staff are trained to install fire equipment securely and to required standards.
- Expertise and experience. Experience is vital when it comes to installing both straightforward and more complex fire safety equipment. Your chosen fire protection service provider should have expertise in handling everything from fire doors and extinguishers to sprinkler systems and alarms.
- Comprehensive services. Depending on the size and nature of your residential or commercial premises, you’ll need a unique range of fire services. The best providers offer the full spectrum, from basic to complex.
- Friendly, professional staff. Customer service is important in every industry. Look for a company that shows both you and your property respect.
- Transparent pricing. Your service provider should be upfront with you about how much things will cost. Quotes and invoices should be transparent, with no unexpected fees or charges.
