No.1 Fire Alarm System

I’m interested to hear everyone’s opinions.

If you had to choose just one fire alarm system to install, service, and maintain, which manufacturer would you say is the best overall, and why?

I’m not just looking at reliability. I’m interested in the full package, including:

• Reliability and fault rates • Ease of commissioning • Ease of servicing and fault finding • Software and programming • Technical support • Availability of spare parts • Long-term durability • Overall value for money

Whether you work mainly on systems from Protec, Advanced, Gent, Kentec, Morley, C-Tec, Notifier, Siemens, Apollo-based systems, or any others, I’d like to hear your experiences.

What would be your first choice if you were specifying a system today, and what makes it stand out from the competition?
