Kinetix Fire & Life Safety

Kinetix is built on the belief that our fire protection services must be timely, accurate, and reliable. Everything we do, from the people we hire to the way we operate, is all geared towards making our customers highly satisfied with their experience. Fire alarm systems, often referred to as fire detection systems, are required in most commercial and industrial facilities. Their primary purpose is to notify and evacuate the occupants of a building in the event of a fire. Fire alarm systems contain various components and are usually automatic or manual.

In the event of a fire, fire pumps provide water pressure to a facility's fire sprinkler system. Some facilities either have an electric or diesel fire pump. Electric fire pumps have disconnects that will transfer power if the service is lost and in some cases may have diesel fire pumps as backups. Diesel fire pumps run on fuel which is regularly checked and filled. Fire pump assemblies include the water supply suction, discharge piping, and valving. At Kinetix, we understand that each fire pump has its own unique characteristics.

In 1993, no one could have predicted that the small fire alarm division within a plumbing and heating business would shift the entire company's focus to fire and life safety. When the fire alarm team recognized the low customer satisfaction rates in the industry, they made it their mission to ensure customers were highly satisfied with their services. By responding to customer's requests immediately, having experienced technicians, and creating an open dialogue with customers about their level of performance enabled the small division to transform into the company's core service.

Fire suppression systems are specialized systems that often work in conjunction with a fire alarm system for the safety and protection of an area or building. Testing and maintenance of fire suppression systems have many different requirements. Kinetix has NICET Certified Experts in Special Hazards as well as NAFED trained technicians that understand the complexity and sensitivity of these systems. When your system needs to be tested, Kinetix will verify all of the activations and ensure that whatever they protect will remain completely operational and safe.

Fire dampers, smoke dampers, and combination fire smoke dampers may be hidden from view but they play an integral role in passive fire protection. Together, fire and smoke dampers prevent fire and smoke from spreading through a facility's ductwork. In most cases, fire damper inspection and testing requirements are every four years and every six years for healthcare facilities. Unsure about where your facility's fire dampers are located? Kinetix's NICET certified technicians are experienced in providing a full inventory review.

Fire alarm systems are required in most occupied buildings and their purpose is to notify people to evacuate the facility in the event of a fire. Many modern systems are low-voltage addressable fire alarm systems that can provide the exact location where smoke or heat was detected. Older systems, still in operation, can be conventional zoned systems or 120-volt bell and buzzer fire alarm systems. These system's standards are governed by NFPA 72, the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code. The code outlines the requirements for fire alarm inspection, testing, maintenance, design, and installation.
