The Right Detector in the Right Place

Detectors are the eyes of a fire alarm system. Spartan Fire Protection installs and replaces smoke detectors, heat detectors, pull stations and notification devices on commercial fire alarm systems across Houston, Katy, Sugar Land, Cypress, Spring, The Woodlands, Pasadena, Pearland and the rest of Greater Houston.

Each device is chosen for the space it protects, connected to your fire alarm panel and tested, so an alarm in any room reaches the panel and the monitoring station.

Devices We Install and Replace

Everything that connects to your fire alarm panel:

  • Photoelectric smoke detectors
  • Heat detectors for kitchens, garages and dusty areas
  • Duct smoke detectors
  • Manual pull stations
  • Horns, strobes and speakers
  • Detector replacement at end of life

Smoke or Heat: Which Detector Goes Where

Smoke detectors give the earliest warning in offices, corridors and sleeping areas. In kitchens, mechanical rooms, garages and other spaces where smoke, steam or dust would cause false alarms, heat detectors are the better choice. We follow NFPA 72 for detector type, spacing and placement.

  • Placement and spacing to NFPA 72
  • Compatible with your panel
  • Each device tested after installation
  • Fewer false alarms

Smoke and Heat Detector Questions

How often should commercial smoke detectors be replaced?

Smoke detectors have a limited service life, commonly about 10 years; the manufacturer sets it. We check age and condition during inspections and replace detectors that are due.

Why do we keep getting false alarms?

The wrong detector type in a kitchen or dusty area, dirty or aging detectors and wiring faults are common causes. We find the cause and replace or relocate devices as needed.

Can you add detectors to my existing system?

Usually, if the devices are compatible with your panel and it has capacity. We check before we quote.
