Frequently Asked Questions

Choosing the right fire suppression, alarm, or monitoring system for your business involves asking the right questions.  Getting the right answer requires asking a company with years of experience working with commercial builders, municipalities, and zoning commissions.  They should also be current in training for the latest zoning laws for fire detection and prevention.  Below are a few frequent questions that ECFP hears from our customers.

Do you service emergency/exit lights?2019-02-21T16:42:52-05:00

Yes, we do and we stock replacement units, bulbs and batteries.

Do you need a fire sprinkler system?2018-12-13T20:48:39-05:00

Whether or not you need a fire sprinkler system depends on what your building is being used for, the square footage of your space, how many people work there, how many levels the building is, and several other factors. Commercial kitchens and restaurants require special fire suppression systems consisting of fire sprinklers, monitoring and alarms. Smaller buildings with less people and immediate ground floor access can often get by with proper fire extinguishers

Do you do oven hood cleaning?2019-02-21T16:41:34-05:00

While we do not provide commercial hood cleaning for ovens or grills, we are happy to refer you to a few trusted companies we recommend.

How often do fire extinguishers need serviced?2018-12-11T20:41:50-05:00

Depending on what city and state you live in, fire extinguishers typically are required to be visually inspected and certified at least once a year. In Ohio, this needs to be performed by a fire protection company and it must be documented on the fire extinguisher.  Every five to six years, the fire extinguisher should be completely disassembled and internally inspected for any leaks and have the fire suppression chemical replaced.
