Disadvantages Of Hard-Wired Alarm Systems

• Many of the older models rely on mains power from the building only, and they will not function if you lose power.
• Due to the extensive wiring required to connect all units, once installed the whole system is fixed in place so you cannot move them without a lot of trouble. This can be a problem if your business has flexible and changing needs.
• One of the worst problems with older fire alarms is a false alarm. Some of these older devices have so many false positives that employees are tempted to turn them off or ignore them when there really is a problem.

There can be other problems with older fire alarms. If any of these problems sound familiar, you might want to consider replacing them as soon as possible. Replacing fire alarms is not expensive when you consider the alternative, and the safety they provide makes their purchase a prudent choice for smart business people.

Advantages Of Newer Wireless Alarms

• The new style of wireless fire alarms is a much better alternative to older alarms or nothing at all! For one thing, they do not rely upon building power, but on their own internal batteries. If the batteries begin to weaken, they will emit a fault on the panel that lets you know it is time to get fresh batteries.
• They are also better at sorting out actual smoke or fire from debris and other contaminants in the air that might register for a false alarm. You can be more assured that when there is an alarm, it is something that everybody should promptly attend to. You won’t have multiple false alarms disrupting your business and alarming your employees and customers.
