Fire alarm inspection and testing that keeps you compliant.
A system that worked at install can quietly drift out of code, and you won’t know until the inspector does.
Acom inspects and tests your fire alarm system to NFPA 72, documents every device, and keeps you ready for the fire marshal, so your protection stays reliable and your paperwork stays in order.

Why businesses choose Acom
No trouble lights on the panel. Detector 3-07 is full of dust.
Fire alarm systems drift out of NFPA 72 without a warning light. A dusty detector won't throw a fault, and a missed inspection date turns into a citation you have to explain.
- Since 1973
- Five Georgia service centers
- 24/7 central monitoring
Your inspection, start to finish
The same three steps Acom runs on every system we protect, written for what actually happens on a fire alarm inspection.
We pull your records and map the system.
Panel type, device count, zone layout, last inspection date. We arrive knowing what is due and what was found last time.
We test every device, then fix what fails.
Initiating devices, horns and strobes, batteries, and the path to the central station. Anything out of code gets flagged, and our technicians can repair or replace it, often on the same visit.
We file the report and hold your date.
You get complete, dated documentation that stands up with the fire marshal. Your next required inspection goes on our calendar so a deadline never lands on you.
What we inspect and test
NFPA 72 requires every part of the system to be checked on a set schedule, not just the panel. Here’s what a complete inspection covers.
Control Panel & Battery
We verify panel operation, trouble signals, and backup batteries so the system has power when it matters.
Smoke & Heat Detectors
We functionally test each detector, clean and recalibrate as needed, and replace any that fail.
Horns & Strobes
We confirm every notification device sounds and flashes correctly so an alarm reaches everyone in the building.
Pull Stations & Devices
We trip each manual station and initiating device to confirm it signals the panel exactly as it should.
Monitoring Signal Test
We confirm the system actually transmits to the central station, so a real alarm reaches the fire department.
Documentation & Reporting
You get a complete, dated inspection report that satisfies the fire marshal and proves the system was tested.

How a thorough inspection works
NFPA 72 sets the schedule and the scope — it’s not a quick walk-through and a signature. A real inspection tests every device, catches the problems a glance misses, and produces documentation that holds up with the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ). Here is how Acom runs it from arrival to report.
Records & device inventory review
We pull your system records and last inspection so we know every device, zone, and what’s due under NFPA 72.
Visual inspection
We check devices, wiring, mounting, and clearances for damage, obstructions, or changes since the last visit.
Functional device testing
We test detectors, pull stations, horns, strobes, and modules so each one actually initiates and signals correctly.
Panel, battery & signal verification
We confirm panel operation, battery backup, and that alarm signals reach the central station as required.
Deficiency identification & repair
We flag anything failing or out of code, and our technicians can repair or replace it — often on the same visit.
Documentation & scheduling
We deliver a complete, AHJ-ready report and set your next inspection so you never miss a required interval.
From a single storefront to a multi-building enterprise campus, Acom inspects every account to the same code discipline — and keeps the documentation that proves it.
Questions business owners ask us
NFPA 72 requires testing on set intervals, and most commercial fire alarms are inspected annually, with some components checked more often. Your local authority having jurisdiction may require more. We confirm the right schedule for your building.
A complete inspection functionally tests every device — detectors, pull stations, horns, and strobes — plus the panel, batteries, and the signal to the central station. You get a documented report, not just a sticker on the panel.
We document every deficiency and our certified technicians can often repair or replace failed devices on the same visit. You leave the inspection with the problems fixed and the paperwork to prove it.
We schedule around your hours and coordinate any testing that affects monitoring or sounds the alarm, so the inspection fits your operation instead of interrupting it.
Yes. You get a complete, dated inspection report that meets your authority having jurisdiction’s requirements — the record you need to show the system was tested and is in compliance.
Yes. We inspect and service most major fire alarm systems regardless of who installed them. We’ll review your equipment and take over the inspection schedule from your current provider.
A lapsed inspection can mean code violations, fines, and trouble with your insurance or certificate of occupancy. We put you on a tracked schedule and remind you ahead of each due date so it doesn’t slip.
