Empire provides commercial fire alarm system design, installation, monitoring, service, and upgrades for businesses, schools, and other facilities throughout Pennsylvania. Whether you are planning a new construction project, modernizing an existing system, or looking for a reliable fire alarm monitoring partner, our team can help you evaluate your options and develop a solution appropriate for your facility.

A code-compliant commercial fire alarm system is comprised of connected elements that work together to detect danger, process signals, and alert building occupants & emergency personnel. While the specific elements and system configuration will be unique to your facility and local code requirements, most systems include these components:

Control Panels

Fire alarm panels receive and process signals from connected devices throughout the system. They operate via the building’s primary power source, with battery backups responsible for ensuring the panel’s continual operation should the building’s power source fail.

Notification & Communication Tech

Fire safety appliances such as strobe lights, horns, and speakers alert building occupants and automated notifications inform emergency responders & key personnel of the emergency situation. Emergency communication systems such as public address systems may be included as well.

Choosing a fire alarm company is about more than finding someone who can install equipment. You want a partner who understands your facility & staffing limitations, can help you navigate technology choices, can support the system after installation, and can provide monitoring and service as your needs evolve. Our certified staff combines expertise in fire alarm, communications, and security technology with a deep understanding of the network cabling infrastructure needed to support these connected systems. We work with leading manufacturing partners to provide the best solution, custom-tailored to your needs.
