There is a common perception that wireless fire alarms are expensive and niche. In reality, independent analysis by consultants has proved that wireless fire alarms solutions offer flexibility and cost competitiveness against hardwired fire systems. Project managers, specifies and sometimes fire alarm installers fail to accurately identify the overall project cost savings to be gained using wireless fire alarm.
Labour costs typically account for only 15% of a wireless fire system installation, compared with 50% for hardwired systems. This saving more than offsets any higher component costs. FireCell from EMS offers a far more cost-effective alternative to labour-intensive hard-wired systems.
Finally, consider the following: interfacing multiple buildings on a site with a hardwired fire system can be horrendous – ground works and overhead cabling can heap cost onto a fire project. A wireless linked system, such as FireCell, eliminates this cost and offers far greater flexibility during fire alarm installation and future expansion.
Today, most Facilities or Building Managers are under pressure to reduce maintenance budgets. System specifies are finding EMS FireCell to be a cost-effective investment into the building’s long-term fire protection solution.
The benefits of a wireless fire alarm system make for compelling reading:
- Flexible installations: No cables to break, short-out or move, a high tolerance to hostile environments.
- Cost reductions: Easier, quicker and less expensive to install than hardwired systems.
- Minimum operating disruption: No need to install the cabling required by hardwired systems.
