Fire alarm system in Rhode Island (RI)

Fire alarm system in Rhode Island (RI)

We received a letter from our local fire department, demanding that we install a commercial fire alarm system in our facility. Upon calling the fire marshall, they were not able to tell us what exactly we needed..( smoke detectors, horn strobes, pull stations, heat detectors, fan shutdown, etc). As it turns out, they only "approve" designs, but do not design what we need. We tried to understand the RI safety code as downloaded, and realized the RI fire laws were extremely complicated amd confusing, with sections for multifamily homes, seperate from places of assembly, industrial, three family, commercial, etc. We asked a neighboring facility who they used and they recommended AAA Alarms and Fire out of West Warwick. Turned out our neighbor gave us a great referral, as AAA Alarms was wonderful to work with, as they handled everything from the initial design and surveys of the building, plan submittals to the local fire authority, permits, installation, final approvals, and continue to provide the requires quarterly testing and inspections and 24hr service that is required by RI state law. In addition, we decided to switch our security system to AAA for monitoring of both our buglar and now Fire Alarm system from their 24 hr monitoring station. All at a price that no other vender came close to! 5 star service! Thanks Nunzio!
Response from AAA Alarms And Fire Protection
Thanks for review Gary! Glad to have helped bring your facility up to current fire alarm code. Unfortunately, the fire alarm code is very complicated here in RI and often times is misinterpreted costing the building owners more than they should be spending. We pride ourselves in keeping the system cost as low as possible to meet the code. We have the experience and resources to challenge the Marshalls if we feel they have misinterpreted as in your case, due to square footage requirements. Glad to have you as our customer!

Incredible Service on my Card access system

We had been having trouble with our computerized card access system from another installation company, and it reached a point that our old out of state alarm company was not able to fix it. Fortunately, a friend worked at a large mental health provider in RI who had been using AAA Alarms for years (i believe over 15 years), and now i understand why! AAA service team was second to none. They not only repaired some lightening damaged components but upgraded my 5 year old software to the newest features with many enhancements. Our access control system now runs flawlessly on a new computer and seemlessly controls which doors lock, when certain doors automatically unlock, who is allowed access and to which doors, what time the card holder is granted access to a particular door, etc. Thanks to AAA Alarms, our new alarm company, we now have photo ID badging built in, and we can log into and make changes remotely to our cardholder database. AAA Alarms offered us a custom site survey which carefully reviewed our old hardware and software, followed up with a comprehensive proposal to repair and upgrade certain components of our security system, and then finished with a swift installation/repair schedule. I highly recommend AAA Alarms to service your custom security systems!

Business Alarm for Business Security- Commercial Alarm Monitoring

Business Alarm for Business Security- Commercial Alarm Monitoring

We installed a new business security system alarm with AAA Alarms and have been very happy since. We now can not only get a call from AAA Alarms Central Monitoring station, but we can view our cameras they installed from our smartphones and home computers. We did have a false alarm due to a new employee not entering his code properly on the keypad, but thanks to the remote control feature of the business alarm, I was able to simply verify who was in the building through the video camera on my phone, and then proceed to disarm the alarm also through my smartphone app. What a nice convenience to have! The system was customized to our specific business and it works perfectly. Thanks to the staff at AAA Alarms

Cost effective Fire alarm testing and inspections here in RI

We recently switch to AAA Alarms and Fire Protection to handle our quarterly and semi annual fire alarm testing and inspections as required by Rhode Island Fire alarm and life safety codes. We were with another company charging our facility 3 times more than AAA for half the level of service! Glad to have made the switch and it’s refreshing to deal with a local RI based family owned business once again! AAA handles all the fire alarm testing, submits the quarterly inspection reports to the local fire department, tests all the smoke detectors, pull stations, and horn strobes. Highly recommend AAA ! We additionally hired AAA Alarms to upgrade our video camera system to a new high definition system. We had old black and white cameras that had terrible picture quality. Now with have low light level color, with 1080p High Def Color, remote viewing on our smartphones, and 24/7 recording, that is easy to search to find incidents because it only records when cameras "see" motion. Great systems together with our business burglar alarm, make for a comprehensive package that protects our facility 24/7 for a cost less than we had been paying for obsolete equipment.

Access control system service was great!

We have an older computerized card access system that locks and unlocks certain office doors in the morning and end of work day. It was installed a long time ago by a company no longer in business. We heard about AAA Alarms as being a local company here in RI that services and installs these types of card access systems for business security. These folks really know electronic alarms and security systems. They got our old system up and running temporarily, and recommended a system upgrade path for our older system that was very cost effective, as AAA Alarms was able to use much of our existing equipment. We have since upgraded and can't say enough good things about the system and AAA Alarms for their high level of service. Our door locks, card readers and access control software are now all new and work flawlessly! If you need an Access Control System, i would definately recommend you call AAA Alarms and Fire Protection.
