Kitchen hood fire suppression, start to finish

Fire alarms that detect early and call for help
A fire alarm system is your building's early warning. We design, install, test and service the panel, the detectors and the notification devices, and connect them to monitoring so every alarm reaches someone who can respond.
Inspection coming up? We test every device, fix what fails and hand you the report your fire marshal and insurer ask for.

From first drawing to final test
Our engineers, project managers and field technicians work as one team. The same people who plan your system are accountable for how it goes in and how it performs.
Pre-installation meeting
We review the drawings and special materials with you and set the schedule.
Material delivery
Pipe and components arrive at an agreed staging area for storage and inspection.
Layout
Heads, valves, gauges, alarms, hangers, mains and branch lines are marked out.
Installation
Experienced sprinkler fitters install the system with quality and safety first.
Completion
Hydrostatic testing, as-built drawings and final inspection with the authorities.
The right system for what you're protecting
A heated office, a freezer warehouse and a server room each need a different answer. Choose a system to see how it works and where it fits.
A system only protects you if it works on the day it's needed
Our inspection programs are built around national fire codes, manufacturer requirements and your insurer. Every visit ends with a written report that tells you what we found, what needs attention and what can wait.
We inspect new and existing systems, including ones we didn't install.

Engineers, project managers and fitters on one team
PrimeTime Fire Protection handles all phases of fire protection: pre-planning, engineering, installation, testing, inspection, repair and maintenance.
Because design and field work happen in-house, the system on the drawing is the system that goes in. We balance code requirements, insurance requirements, environmental and operational concerns, and your budget, and we explain the trade-offs plainly.
We also serve national accounts that need consistent fire protection across multiple sites.

We never put anyone at risk to reach a goal.
Customer driven
We learn what you need and work to exceed it.
Ethics
High standards, and we own our decisions and results.
Forward thinking
We anticipate problems before they reach your job site.
Innovative
We keep questioning how the work could be done better.
Passion and pride
This work protects families and communities. We treat it that way.
