Finding out that your new security or fire system requires maintenance can be unwelcome news, but a well maintained system will prevent the worst from happening.
A factor that is often overlooked when implementing fire and security systems, such as our CCTV or Fire alarm systems, is that these installations will require maintenance in order to function to the best of their ability.
It may cross your mind that taking out a maintenance contract when your system is brand new is a waste of time; that maintenance is reserved for older systems.
This should not be the case, research shows that even brand new, high quality systems do carry a risk of failure. Frequent maintenance is imperative to keeping your property safe.
Protecting you and your property- Fire alarm maintenance.
The UK Government recommends that all fire alarm systems should be ‘adequately maintained’, however, the fire industry association recommends that basic alarm systems should be tested at least every six months.
For bespoke systems such as those offered by us at Matrix Fire & Security, a more in-depth check will be required. This is to ensure that our specialist systems, such as the multi-zone addressable system, are accurate in their reporting of localised incidents.
Ensuring an effective defence. Security system maintenance
Home security should be kept in good working order to prevent criminals from taking advantage of a neglected security system. For example, CCTV systems that aren’t maintained properly can risk losing recorded information, in the worst case scenario, a camera may lose quality to the point of becoming unusable.
Preventing problems before they occur also has the added benefit of being far cheaper than a complete repair. Having to refit a security or fire system that has gone into a state of disrepair can be a costly and time consuming ordeal. A thorough maintenance schedule is a crucial part of any security plan.
