Importance and Monitoring of Commercial Fire Alarm Systems

We never charge for standard service calls, system quotes, or basic replacement parts. Avenger Security can monitor existing commercial fire alarm systems installed by other providers.

In Texas, commercial fire alarm systems are required by code to have daily supervised UL-listed central station monitoring as outlined by the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) and NFPA 72 — the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code.

Our monitoring services are designed to meet all state and national fire safety requirements:

  • Commercial fire alarm monitoring — starting at $50/month
  • Full-service fire alarm maintenance and monitoring — starting at $80/month
  • Dedicated IP and dual-cellular communicators for 24/7 daily supervision

Licensed Fire Alarm Monitoring Company in Texas

Avenger Security is fully licensed through the Texas Department of Insurance for fire alarm system installation and monitoring. The Texas Insurance Code requires:

  • Fire detection devices to be replaced every ten years
  • All fire alarm systems to be tested for operation every 18 months
  • Monitoring companies to maintain a valid TDI fire alarm license

Complying with the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code

Every commercial fire alarm system must comply with the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code (NFPA 72). The system’s purpose is to alert occupants of fire danger, provide local and offsite notification, and summon emergency aid. The code also requires:

  • All connected devices to be supervised and report trouble conditions
  • Equipment to be listed for its intended fire protection use
  • Systems to allow on-site emergency control functions by authorized personnel

Fire Alarm Testing, Inspection, and Maintenance

Fire alarm system components must be installed, tested, and maintained according to manufacturer specifications and NFPA 72. Avenger Security provides routine testing and documentation to ensure all detection devices, control units, and notification appliances operate properly and are listed for use with their control panels.

Why Commercial Fire Alarm Monitoring Matters

Fire alarms are essential to protecting life and property in any commercial facility. A properly installed and monitored fire alarm system can save lives, reduce property loss, and ensure rapid response during emergencies. Early detection of smoke or heat allows more time for evacuation and fire department response.

Ongoing Supervision and System Monitoring

Owning a fire alarm system is only part of the equation. Regular monitoring, testing, and maintenance are critical to compliance and safety. Our team ensures that:

  • Every signal is monitored 24/7 by a UL-listed central station
  • System batteries and power supplies are regularly tested
  • Any faults or trouble conditions are detected immediately

With Avenger Security Services, your commercial fire alarm system becomes more than just a requirement — it becomes a life-safety asset you can rely on every day.
