System Maintenance FAQs
What is included in commercial life safety system maintenance?
Commercial system maintenance involves the routine inspection, servicing, and repair of your facility’s critical life safety and security systems—including fire alarms, sprinklers, intrusion alarms, access control, video surveillance, and emergency lighting.
At Group One, we provide:
• Preventive maintenance plans for all supported systems
• Functional testing of detectors, strobes, door locks, cameras, and more
• Cleaning, calibration, and battery replacement as needed
• Firmware/software updates for integrated systems
• Code-compliant recordkeeping for AHJ or insurance audits
This proactive approach minimizes failures, reduces liability, and extends the lifespan of your life safety infrastructure.
Why is ongoing system maintenance critical for commercial properties?
Without routine system maintenance, even the best-installed security and fire systems can fail when you need them most. Dust, wear-and-tear, outdated software, or accidental disconnection can cause false alarms, communication issues, or total system failure.
Regular maintenance:
• Helps ensure code compliance (NFPA, ADA, FBC)
• Reduces nuisance alarms that disrupt operations
• Lowers long-term repair costs through early detection
• Keeps your business protected and your insurance valid
According to OSHA, proactive preventive maintenance programs significantly reduce risk exposure and improve workplace safety. OSHA – Recommended Practices for Preventive Maintenance
What types of systems does Group One maintain?
Group One provides full-service maintenance for:
• Fire alarm systems (panels, detectors, pull stations, strobes)
• Fire sprinkler systems (wet/dry pipe, backflow, pumps)
• Intrusion and burglar alarms (motion sensors, door/window contacts, keypads)
• Access control systems (card readers, control panels, electronic locks)
• Video surveillance systems (camera hardware, NVRs, cloud storage)
• Elevator emergency phones and monitoring devices
• Exit signage and emergency lighting
We also offer bundled plans for multi-system buildings to streamline compliance and reduce administrative overhead.
How often should systems be maintained or tested?
Maintenance frequency varies by system type and local code but common intervals include:
• Monthly: Visual inspections for emergency lights, panel status LEDs
• Quarterly: Fire sprinkler valve tests, camera lens cleaning
• Semi-Annually: Battery checks for alarms and control panels
• Annually: Full NFPA-required tests for alarms, sprinklers, and monitoring systems
• Every 5 years: Hydrostatic sprinkler testing, in-depth fire system performance audits
Group One creates customized service calendars to meet both manufacturer and jurisdictional requirements—ensuring you never miss a critical inspection window.
Can Group One take over maintenance for systems installed by another provider?
Yes. We specialize in third-party system maintenance and takeovers. Whether your systems were installed by a national brand or another local vendor, we can inspect, test, and begin servicing them—often without needing to replace the core equipment.
We’ll:
• Assess current system performance and code compliance
• Provide a written maintenance and service plan
• Offer ongoing support with responsive scheduling and documentation
• Identify any urgent deficiencies or upgrade opportunities
This flexible approach saves money, reduces downtime, and ensures continuity of protection across your property portfolio.
