Ensuring Life Safety With Emergency Exit Systems
Exit & emergency lighting systems must meet NFPA testing & maintenance guidelines in order to function properly in an emergency situation. Heritage Fire Protection is equipped with the training & equipment needed to ensure NFPA compliance & safety.
Annual Inspections & Testing
All exit & emergency lighting must be tested annually for no less than 90 minutes per the NFPA 101 code. Our trained technicians can perform the required testing and visual inspection. This is often done alongside the fire extinguisher annual inspection to be more cost effective for our customers.
If any repairs or battery replacements are needed after conducting the testing, our technicians can resolve those problems while they are on site, and in most cases eliminate the need for an additional repair trip charge.
