How to choose the best Fire Sprinkler Contractor For your Firm

 


Deciding to purchase a fire sprinkler system for your company can be a daunting task. It is essential to know what you are looking for and choose the best contractor for your business. Choosing the right contractor will save you time, money, and energy in the long run. In this blog post, we will talk about some things that make a good contractor and tips on choosing one from the many options available.

●       To find out if a particular company has been approved by NFPA (National Fire Protection Association), it is recommended that you ask them or look up their certification online at www.nfpa-fireprotection.org/certification/.

●       You should also always get more than one quote from different contractors before making a decision. This will enable you to get the best price possible and ensure that your business is using the most qualified contractor.

●       All firesprinkler contractors for your firm should have, at minimum, an Alabama State License for Contractors- Fire Protection . They should also be registered with ESA (Electrical Safety Authority) and possess all necessary insurances, including general liability, workers compensation and property damage if there is any damage to your building.

●       The contractor should also have a good reputation for quality artistry and efficient service with the local Fire Chief's office. Other basic construction qualifications include having at least 2-3 years of extensive experience as a fire sprinkler installer, be a member of the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association), and be part of the local business community.

●       The best contractors can answer all your questions about fire sprinklers, including how they work, where to place them, and why they are required by law. They will also help you determine if your building needs life safety protection or not. Water damage due to fire is the number one cause of insurance claims today.

●       The contractor should have a thorough knowledge of fire sprinkler systems, water flow formulas used in construction, and hydrostatic testing protocols to ensure that your system has been properly installed.

The best contractors will use computerized drawings for all their projects, including your business. This ensures accuracy, minimizes work delays and reduces the time it takes to complete your project. They should also perform inspections during construction for quality assurance.


The Bottom Line:

Once you've chosen a contractor, they will need to submit plans to both NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) as well as ESA (Electrical Safety Authority). Once these respective organizations have granted all necessary approvals, your contractor will contact your building/fire department to schedule the final inspection.

The final step is for the fire department to perform a day of the acceptance test. This means that they will run water through the system, check all components for leaks and other malfunctions, and give it a clean bill of health. We will then notify you that your new fire sprinkler system is ready to be put into service!
