Beard Electric installs fire alarm systems for residential and commercial properties throughout Central Oregon. A properly installed and maintained fire alarm system is one of the most important safety investments you can make for your home or business.

For residential properties, we install hardwired smoke alarms that are interconnected — when one alarm detects smoke, all alarms in the home sound simultaneously. This is significantly more effective than standalone battery-powered alarms, especially in larger homes where a bedroom alarm might not be heard from the other end of the house. We also install combination smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

For commercial properties, we install addressable fire alarm systems that meet Oregon fire code requirements. An addressable system identifies the exact location of each triggered device on the control panel, which helps occupants evacuate efficiently and helps the fire department locate the source quickly. We design the system to meet the specific requirements of your building type and occupancy classification.

New commercial fire alarm installations require plan review and permit approval before work begins. We prepare the required documentation, submit for plan review, and coordinate with the fire marshal throughout the process. After installation, we conduct the required acceptance testing and provide the documentation you need for your certificate of occupancy.

We also service and inspect existing fire alarm systems. Annual inspections are required for commercial systems in Oregon, and we provide the documentation you need to stay compliant.
