How to choose the right type of fire alarm for your Auckland business? Fireco explains
A correctly installed and maintained fire alarm system is one of the most important ways to protect your Auckland business. Fire alarms and regular maintenance are your best chance to prevent fire emergencies and keep your staff, customers, and property safe.
In this blog, Fireco guides Auckland business owners on how to choose the right fire alarm and shares everything you need to know to keep your property safe.
What is a Fire Alarm System?
A fire alarm system is exactly what it sounds like. It alerts people in your business when there is a fire so everyone can evacuate quickly and safely.
Some fire alarm systems can do even more. Advanced models can automatically contact emergency services, which is particularly useful when no one is in the building or if staff are unable to call for help. This kind of system helps minimise damage and gives you peace of mind knowing your business is being monitored 24/7.

Why Does Your Auckland Business Need a Fire Alarm?
As a legal requirement for Auckland businesses under New Zealand fire safety regulations, fire alarms are much more than a simple safety precaution.
Without the right system, your insurance provider might refuse claims in the event of fire damage, and failing to comply with regulations could even lead to legal consequences. Installing a reliable fire alarm is an important step to protect your workplace, your staff, and your assets. Find out more about building fire safety on the Fire Emergency NZ website here.
How to Choose the Right Fire Alarm for Your Business
Picking the right fire alarm system for your Auckland business depends on a few key factors:
- Type of alerts: Most systems use a siren, but you might want visual alerts for staff or visitors with hearing difficulties.
- Automation features: Some systems can trigger sprinklers, access controls, or public address systems during an emergency to reduce risk.
- Detection type: Heat detectors, smoke detectors, or a combination of both can ensure timely alerts.
- Smart systems: Modern smart fire alarms can monitor smoke or heat levels and respond according to the severity of the situation.
