Frequently Asked Questions
Fire & Safety Detection Systems
Are commercial properties in Ontario legally required to have fire detection systems?
Yes. Ontario's Fire Code sets out requirements for fire detection and alarm systems in commercial buildings. The specifics vary based on building type and occupancy, so if you're unsure whether your property is fully compliant, a consultation is a good starting point.
What's the difference between a smoke detector and a heat detector — and do I need both?
Smoke detectors respond to airborne particles from combustion and are best for early-stage fire detection. Heat detectors respond to temperature rise and are better suited to environments where smoke or dust might trigger false alarms, like kitchens or workshops. Many commercial properties benefit from a combination of both.
How often do commercial fire detection systems need to be inspected or serviced?
Regular inspection and testing is required under Ontario's Fire Code, with frequency depending on the type of system and building use. Staying on top of scheduled maintenance is also what ensures your system performs when it actually needs to.
What's a CO detector, and why does it matter for a commercial property?
Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless gas that's undetectable by human senses — prolonged exposure can be fatal. In commercial settings with heating systems, generators, or attached parking, a CO detector is essential.
