Types of System Work On
Testing, Inspection & Monitoring
We can monitor, test, and inspect any fire alarm system to keep your building safe and compliant. Our team has extensive experience with all leading U.S. manufacturers, including Honeywell brands (Silent Knight, Fire-Lite, NOTIFIER, Gamewell-FCI), Simplex (Johnson Controls/Tyco), Siemens, Edwards/EST/Kidde/Vigilant (Carrier), Bosch, Potter, Fike, Protectowire, Hochiki, Vesda (Honeywell/Xtralis), Advanced, Zeta Alarms, Cooper Fire (Eaton), Securiton, and more. Whether your property has a legacy system or the latest technology, we provide comprehensive inspection, testing, and monitoring services tailored to your needs.
Edwards Strategic Partner
We are also an authorized Strategic Partner and distributor for Edwards (EST), which means we can provide complete service, programming, installation, and monitoring on proprietary EST fire alarm panels. If your building currently operates on a QuickStart, EST2, or EST3 panel, be aware these systems are now discontinued and will eventually become non-serviceable. We can help you plan ahead by proactively upgrading to the latest Edwards EST4 or Edwards Edge panels, ensuring long-term reliability, compliance, and uninterrupted protection before your existing system becomes impaired.
Non-Proprietary & Other Systems
In addition to proprietary platforms, we can fully service non-proprietary systems such as Silent Knight, Fire-Lite, and Potter, giving you flexibility without being locked into a single vendor. And even if your fire alarm system is not listed here, our technicians can often replace parts, perform service, and keep many other proprietary systems operational. This breadth of expertise allows us to support virtually any fire alarm system in the field.
Fire Alarm Maintenance and Follow-Up Services
At Columbia Fire, we don’t stop at inspection. Our team also provides year-round fire alarm maintenance, monitoring, and repair services to keep your system working as it should.
If we find issues during your inspection, we’ll explain your options and can often provide same-day service or schedule repairs at your convenience to correct the noted deficiencies.
Our fire alarm maintenance programs include:
- Scheduled testing and cleaning of devices
- Replacement of batteries or failed components
- System upgrades for outdated equipment, including proactive surveys and budgetary pricing for future years’ maintenance at no additional charge
- Monitoring support and reprogramming
