Functioning fire protection is essential for safety in buildings. Regular maintenance of fire protection equipment plays a central role in this. A maintenance contract ensures that all relevant fire protection equipment is always ready for operation. But what exactly is a fire protection maintenance contract and what advantages does it offer?
What is a fire protection maintenance contract?
A fire protection maintenance contract is a mutual, contractually agreed agreement for the regular maintenance of defined fire protection systems. A specialist fire protection company carries out all necessary maintenance and servicing work to ensure the technical operability of the fire protection equipment. This includes, among other things
- Care and cleaning of the fire protection equipment,
- Replacement of wearing parts,
- ensuring functionality.
In short: a fire protection maintenance contract ensures that fire protection equipment remains in its target condition and functions reliably in an emergency.
Which trades are serviced?
Maintenance contracts in fire protection are already standard for permanently installed systems such as extinguishing water technology, fire doors, fire alarm systems and fire dampers.
Mobile systems such as fire extinguishers or mobile fire extinguishers, on the other hand, are less frequently covered by maintenance contracts, although they play a crucial role in preventive fire protection. Regular inspections ensure their functionality and increase safety.
