How often must fire alarms be tested?

By law, fire alarm systems must undergo weekly testing by the responsible person (typically the building manager), monthly visual inspections, six-monthly servicing by a competent person, and annual comprehensive testing by qualified technicians. At DH Electrical, we provide the professional six-monthly and annual testing services required for full compliance.

What happens during professional fire alarm testing?

Our testing involves checking control panels, activating call points, verifying detector operation, testing sounders, checking backup power systems, and examining system components for damage or deterioration. We then provide certification confirming your system meets required standards.

Do you offer fuseboard upgrades alongside fire alarm testing?

Yes, we offer fuseboard upgrades that can improve the safety and reliability of your electrical system. Modern consumer units provide better protection against electrical fires and can complement your fire safety measures.

Can you install LED lighting as part of fire safety improvements?

Absolutely. Our LED lighting installation services provide energy-efficient illumination that can integrate with emergency lighting systems. LED lighting generates less heat than traditional bulbs, potentially reducing fire risks.

Do you provide WiFi security alarm installation alongside fire systems?

Yes, we offer WiFi security alarms that can complement your fire safety systems. These modern security solutions can be monitored remotely, adding another layer of protection to your property.

What documentation will I receive after fire alarm testing?

Following testing, you'll receive certificates confirming compliance with relevant standards, detailed reports of all tests performed, notes of any issues identified, and recommendations for maintenance or improvements. These documents satisfy insurance requirements and regulatory inspections.

Do you offer emergency lighting testing for all property types?

Yes, we provide emergency lighting testing for HMOs, commercial properties, and any buildings requiring this service. Our technicians are qualified to test all standard emergency lighting systems to verify they'll function correctly during power failures.
