Fire suppression that stops a fire before it spreads.

Detecting a fire isn’t enough — something has to put it out, fast, before it takes your building with it.

Acom designs and installs commercial fire suppression — sprinkler systems, kitchen hood systems, and extinguishers — engineered to code to protect your people and property and keep you compliant.

A fryer flare-up could have closed our kitchen for months. The hood system caught it in seconds and the damage stopped at the cookline. Acom designed it, installed it, and keeps it inspected — we were back to full service the next day.

The right suppression for every kind of fire

Different spaces and fire types need different suppression, and most buildings use more than one. Here’s how the major systems work.

Technician adjusting a pendant sprinkler head

Sprinkler Systems

Wet, dry, and pre-action sprinkler systems designed and installed to suppress fire across your whole building.

Technician adjusting kitchen hood suppression piping

Kitchen Hood Suppression

Wet-chemical hood systems built for commercial cooklines, knocking down grease fires before they spread.

Extinguisher with Acom service tag

Fire Extinguishers

The right extinguisher class placed where code requires — supplied, mounted, and kept inspection-ready.

Suppression system tanks in cabinet

Clean Agent Systems

Waterless suppression for server rooms and sensitive spaces — stops fire without ruining your equipment.

Technician at standpipe valves

Fire Pumps & Standpipes

The water supply behind it all — pumps and standpipes that deliver pressure where firefighters need it.

Tagged extinguishers in for service

Inspection & Recharge

Every system stays compliant with scheduled inspection, testing, and recharge — documented for the fire marshal.

How Acom Builds

Engineered to code, built to pass inspection

Suppression is an engineering problem before it’s an installation — the right agent, the right coverage, and enough water or chemical at the right pressure to actually put a fire out. Acom designs, installs, and certifies the system to NFPA standards and your local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ). Here is what the engagement looks like from first walk to final acceptance.

1

Survey & hazard analysis

We assess your occupancy, cooking equipment, stored materials, and water supply to determine which suppression each space needs.

2

System design & hydraulic calculations

We engineer the layout and run the hydraulic calculations so coverage and flow meet code for the hazard being protected.

3

Permitting & AHJ submittals

We prepare and submit stamped plans to the authority having jurisdiction and coordinate approvals so the project stays on schedule.

4

Installation by certified technicians

Trained technicians install piping, heads, nozzles, and agent systems to spec, with workmanship an inspector can sign off on.

5

Flow testing & acceptance

We pressure- and flow-test the system, walk it with the AHJ, and deliver the as-builts and certificates that prove compliance.

6

Ongoing inspection & recharge

We keep the system compliant with scheduled inspection, testing, and recharge — documented and ready for the fire marshal.

From a single restaurant cookline to a multi-building enterprise campus, Acom designs and installs to the same code discipline — and stands behind it through inspection and the life of the system.

One Acom

One partner for security, fire, and network

Most providers handle one piece. Acom designs and supports all three — so the systems that protect your business actually work together.

Security

Protect people and property with integrated systems.

  • Intrusion detection
  • Video surveillance
  • Access control
  • Automation & monitoring

Fire

Stay safe and compliant with full life-safety coverage.

  • Fire alarm design & install
  • Sprinkler & suppression
  • Inspection & maintenance
  • Testing & compliance

Network

Keep operations running with secure IT infrastructure.

  • Managed IT services
  • Cybersecurity
  • Backup & disaster recovery
  • VoIP & phone systems

Fewer vendors. One accountable partner.

When your security, fire, and network systems come from one team, there’s no finger-pointing and no gaps between providers. You get unified support, systems that integrate cleanly, and one number to call when it matters — backed by the same responsive team for the life of every system.

Why Acom

When seconds decide whether you reopen

Owner signing with confidence

You’ve put years into this business — the build-out, the team, the reputation. A fire can erase it in minutes, and detection alone won’t stop it.

An alarm tells everyone to get out; suppression is what keeps the fire from taking the building with them. A grease fire on the cookline, a spark in the warehouse, an electrical fault in the server room — each needs the right system, sized and placed correctly, ready to act in the seconds before the fire department arrives. A system that’s undersized or off-code can pass for years and still fail when it counts. This isn’t a place to hire whoever’s cheapest. You need a partner who designs it right and proves it’s right.

That’s the role Acom has played for Georgia businesses for more than 50 years. As one of the top 1% of alarm companies in the country, with certified technicians and code-compliant design, we bring the authority to protect your people and your livelihood — and the responsiveness to keep your system compliant for as long as you own the building.

Without the right partner, the cost shows up at the worst possible moment — a failed inspection that delays your opening, fines for non-compliance, or a fire that closes your doors for months because nothing stopped it in time. With lives and your livelihood on the line, the stakes here aren’t only financial; they’re human.

Our promise is simple — Protect. Manage. Respond. We protect your people and property, manage the system’s compliance over its full life, and respond the moment you need us.


The shift

From an owner hoping a fire would never test the system — to a leader who knows it’s engineered to code, certified, and ready to stop a fire before it stops the business.

FAQs

Questions business owners ask us

Cost depends on the type of system, your building’s size and hazards, and your water supply. A sprinkler system, a kitchen hood system, and a clean-agent room each price differently. After a free assessment, we give you a clear, itemized quote — no surprises.

It depends on what you’re protecting. Cooklines need wet-chemical hood systems, most spaces use sprinklers, and server rooms often need waterless clean agent. Many buildings use a combination, and we design the right mix during the assessment.

That’s the whole point of how we design. We engineer to NFPA standards and your local authority having jurisdiction, run the hydraulic calculations, prepare the permit submittals, and flow-test at acceptance — so it’s built to pass, not patched to pass.

Yes. We prepare and submit the stamped drawings to the authority having jurisdiction, coordinate approvals, and deliver the as-builts and certificates after acceptance — so the compliance trail is complete.

Only the heads near the fire activate, not the whole building — so water damage is contained. For sensitive spaces like server rooms, we design waterless clean-agent systems that suppress fire without harming your equipment.

Code sets the schedule — sprinklers, hood systems, and extinguishers each have required inspection and testing intervals. Acom keeps you on that schedule, recharges what needs it, and documents every visit for the fire marshal.

Often, yes. During the evaluation we inspect your existing system, identify what’s still compliant, and lay out a service, upgrade, or takeover path — so you bring it up to code without always starting from scratch.
