The following information will help contractors when getting pricing for TI remodel projects.

1. The alarm company will need to know what BRAND of security or fire alarm panel is in the existing building. Often it is a proprietary brand making it so we cannot even bid the project.

2. Example: If the Fire Alarm is SIMPLEX then Peak Alarm and other alarm companies cannot bid this equipment because you need to go to SIMPLEX to get parts and programming.

3. Peak Alarm can monitor all brands of alarm equipment although on proprietary brands you will need to have the panel programmed by the company that provided the equipment.

4. If the system is FCI then call Nelson Fire, if the system is Simplex then call Simplex for a bid, if the system is Notifier then call Mountain Alarm FPS for a price to add onto the building. If the system is EST then call an EST dealer. If it is a Siemens system (Cerberus Pyrotronics then you need to call Siemens etc…..

5. If the equipment is Silent Knight, Fire-lite or Potter then Peak Alarm can bid the project although going to the company that provided the drawings, battery calculations and programming on the first project will normally be more cost effective because they already have that information on file and if you are only adding 5 horn strobes to the project then the original company can just pull up their sheets from the past job and add to them rather than recreating the entire job again from scratch.

We appreciate getting TI/Remodel requests although we cannot get to all of them and it is time consuming when we go through several in a day and find that we cannot bid them because of the existing equipment in the building.
