We provide a complete coded fire alarm system design and specification service that helps reduce the likelihood that occupants will become victims of fire damage through lack of response.

Addressable fire alarm system service

Introduced by many manufacturers in the mid-1980s, addressable fire alarm systems, allow you to pinpoint exactly which device has been activated. They are useful in premises with large areas. In them, fire detectors and devices are connected to a central control panel that can determine exactly which detector or call point has initiated the alarm.

NearBy Engineers New York Engineers fire protection engineer team can design and specify addressable fire alarm systems for the correct locations according to current standards and NFPA 72 requirements.

We provide a timely addressable fire alarm system design, specification and inspection

service with addressable alarm panels to monitor the air flow through smoke detectors to prevent the occurrence of false alarms.  

Full voice alarm system service

Full voice fire alarm systems are voice-enabled fire alarm and emergency communication systems and installed to alert occupants about fire emergencies. NFPA 72 is the code governing the use of voice alarm communications.

NearBy Engineers New York Engineers can design and specify intelligible full voice fire alarm systems according to current standards and NFPA 72 code.

We provide an accurate full voice fire alarm system design, specification and inspection service to assist in the relocation from areas of high to low risk during a fire emergency.

Carbon monoxide detector service

Carbon monoxide detectors are used to detect the presence of deadly carbon monoxide and can be

Carbon monoxide can be a major hazard where people use engines, furnaces, forges, or any other equipment that use oxygen to produce energy through combustion.

NearBy Engineers New York Engineers can design and specify carbon monoxide detectors according to current standards and NFPA 72 code.

We provide a rigorous carbon monoxide design, specification and inspection service to assist in preventing fatalities caused by carbon monoxide poisoning.

Heat sensor service

Heat Sensors are designed to detect fires, which are especially high in flames and emit little smoke at the start and may be hard wired or battery operated, electronic or mechanical, fixed-temperature and/or rate-of-rise types.

NearBy Engineers New York Engineers team of expert fire protection engineers can design and specify heat sensors according to current standards and NFPA 72 code.

We provide a complete heat sensor design, specification and inspection service to reduce the likelihood of fatality from a fire.

Fire alarm control panel service

A fire alarm control panel (fire alarm control unit or fire alarm panel) is a controlling component of a fire alarm system. Each panel receives information from devices designed to detect and report fires, monitors their operational integrity and provides automatic equipment control, and information transmission necessary to prepare the facility for a fire based on a predetermined sequence.

NearBy Engineers New York Engineers fire protection engineering team can design and specify fire alarm control panels according to current standards and the NFPA 72 code.
