Aglow Power is releasing our latest fire alarm playbook which is geared at increasing system reliability, and reducing maintenance costs. The concept is simple and the issue is critical: you can’t stipulate a maintenance budget if you don’t know the current condition of your system and the risks present. We focus on three main priorities:
1) Life & Property Protection
2) Meeting Local Fire Department Regulations
3) Ensure that safety benchmarks are met to qualify our clients for capital investment benefits and property insurance rebate.

Small Business & Residential Building Owners
Every year Aglow Power services a wide array of fire alarm and smoke alarm (120V) systems throughout New England. Although the scope of work varies, common denominator for the grand majority is to pursue and secure a Certificate of Occupancy or Fire Certificate from local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ). Using internal data, Aglow Power identified a few trending patterns:
70%
of buildings serviced by Aglow Power every year already have some form of fire and/or smoke alarm system. All are in a transition phase such as:
-
Buildings Getting Ready for Sale
-
New Commercial Spaces Fit-Outs in Plazas
-
Fire Prevention or Building Department Enforcement
-
Insurance Requirements, Deductibles, and/or Tax Write-Offs
95%
of the systems inspected fail due to one or multiple reasons:
-
Code non-compliancy (sensors and notifiers setup)
-
Pertinent Fire Hazards
-
Emergency Lighting Deficiency
-
Poor Egress & General Building Shortcomings
73%
of corrective tasks can be performed by common sense owners, property management team, handyman, or other general purpose in-house person(s).
$1,200 to
$4,000
is the average savings for Do-It-Mostly-Yourself residential and small business corrective tasks, depending on condition of building and AHJ requirements. Savings continue to accrue when owners commit to in-house preventive maintenance practices.
In response to this data trend, Aglow Power has developed a Fire & Smoke Alarm Playbook for small businesses and apartment building owners to provide a more budget friendly approach to Fire Protection solutions.
