Emergency Lights and Exit Lights are battery-backed lighting devices that come on automatically when a building experiences a power outage. These are standard in new commercial and high occupancy residential buildings.

APS FireCo Technicians while on site performing Fire Extinguisher or Kitchen Suppression System inspections can inspect, test, repair, and replace Emergency Lights and Exit lights.

Emergency and Exit lighting are required to be tested annually to assure the battery is fully charged and will perform as required. All APS FireCo Technicians carry a battery annalizer to prevent from turning off power for the 90-minute test requirement. Technician vehicles are also stocked with the most common batteries and bulbs.

APS FireCo can handle all of your fire sprinkler needs, including:

Industrial and Commercial Fire Sprinkler Systems

Fire sprinkler systems designed according to city, state and national codes for use in commercial facilities. Cost is determined by size and use of facility.

Type of fire sprinkler systems include: wet pipe, dry pipe, pre-action, deluge, foam, water mist, and water spray.  We use products from major suppliers such as Chemguard for foam and Marrioff for water mist.

Underground Fire Lines

The piping that connects the fire sprinkler system to its water supply. Cost is determined by length of line, pipe sizing and meter size.

Design

A fire sprinkler system must be designed and fabricated prior to installation. We design using AutoCAD based computer software. If a CAD drawing of the reflected ceiling plan is available, we prefer to work from it rather than recreating the entire drawing. Design is most usually included in the cost of the system.

Inspections

According to the national codes, fire sprinkler systems shall be visually inspected on an annual basis. Fire sprinkler Inspections do not require water to flow through the heads. An inspector takes this opportunity to locate any obstructions such as items stored too close to a riser, or stacked too close to a fire sprinkler head. Other items of which he / she will be aware are newly constructed areas. If a fire sprinkler professional is not consulted during a remodel project, coverage can be jeopardized.

Back Flow Devices

APS Fire has ABPA certified employees qualified to inspect, test and repair back flow devices. Some insurance companies and city governments require annual inspections and testing.

Service

Remodeling? If so, please feel free to call on us to be sure that fire sprinkler coverage is not put at risk. Moving walls, lowering ceilings and adding lighting can potentially obstruct fire sprinklers.

Emergencies

In the event that an accident occurs, we are ready. Most fire sprinkler systems go decades without problems. But occasionally, an old system will develop a leak or a forklift driver will hit a head and knock it loose. In these cases, we are ready to solve the problem. We make every attempt to answer your call with a live person (not an answering service). Occasionally when all of the lines are tied up, it will go to voice mail. The message gives you several alternative numbers to reach us. We pride ourselves on being available, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year.

APS FireCo is a leading provider of special hazard fire protection systems for critical assets.  We design and build fire suppression systems for the most complex fire hazard environments.  Our fire protection systems currently protect mission critical systems all over the world.  From custom designing a turnkey clean agent system integrated with a pre-action dry pipe sprinkler system for a data center to fabricating a fully enclosed system to protect electrical switchgear rooms on an oil platform near Siberia, we have done it.

The first key element in protecting mission critical facilities is rapid detection of fire in its incipient stage. Precision fire alarm and control functions alert people and initiate emergency actions. Then clean, fast-acting fire suppression prevents extensive damage to people, property and business continuity.  This total flood application can be designed to be completely life safe.
