Scope of Services for Fire Alarm Maintenance:

A properly maintained fire alarm system can result in an overall reduction in out-of-contract repairs. A competent vendor should not only help eliminate false alarms, but identify ways for correcting recurring problems that impact your operating budget or compromise the integrity of your system. Contrary to popular industry opinion, service calls do not generate additional profits for fire alarm vendors. Most vendors do not realize that service calls are disruptive to their company’s daily operation. We at Eastport Associates appreciate this nuance and take steps to assure that systems are properly maintained and trouble-free whenever possible.
