Interesting Facts

Did you Know!?

As per CAN/ULC-S536 Subsection 6.7.4

The requirements for annual smoke detector sensitivity testing and inspection are as follows.

Smoke detectors, other than those which are automatically tested by the fire alarm system, shall be:

Replaced within ten years of their manufacturer date with a smoke detector listed for use with the fire alarm system and appropriate for the location.

OR
From the time they reach ten years of age and onward, they are required to be tested annually for sensitivity in conformance with the methods prescribed.

Subsection 6.7.4 of CAN/ULC-S536 “inspections and testing of fire alarm system.

What does this mean?!

Proactive vs Reactive

A technician will identify if a detector requires additional maintenance when a device has reached the ten-year or older time frame, or if it is to be replaced.

This focus on pre-emptive maintenance will lower or remove the random failing of devices altogether, reducing expensive overnight service calls and disruptions, false alarms, and annoyed residents.

Supply Chain Wait Times and Concerns

Thank you for your continued patience while waiting for supplies to arrive. The protests and supply chain issues have caused major waves in the marketplace.

Globaltech has recently observed high demand for typically readily available parts. This has led to increased prices and wait times. We are working to secure as much product as possible to continue to provide service in a timely manner. However, special order materials and items will take time to be received. Our suppliers do their best to keep agreed-upon costs and timelines, but these are challenging times, and it is hard to guarantee any parts.

Please know we are always doing our best to keep everyone informed and aware of the ever-changing marketplace.
