Trusted Since 2004.

A smoke detector that beeps in an empty house protects no one. A monitored fire alarm system does: the moment smoke, heat or carbon monoxide is detected, the signal reaches a UL-listed monitoring center and the fire department is dispatched immediately, whether you are home, at work or out of town. J&J Security Systems installs monitored fire alarm and life safety systems for homes and businesses across Metro Atlanta, integrated with the same Qolsys IQ4 panel that runs your security alarm.

For homes, that means wireless PowerG smoke, heat and CO detectors in bedrooms, hallways, the kitchen and near the furnace, all reporting to your panel and your phone. For businesses, it means a code-compliant commercial fire alarm system: addressable control panel, smoke and heat detectors, pull stations, horn-strobes, sprinkler supervision and monitoring, designed to NFPA 72 and local fire marshal requirements and installed with the permits and inspections handled.

We’ve installed life safety systems from our Snellville office since 2004, with an A+ BBB rating and 640+ five-star Google reviews. Request a free assessment or call (770) 771-5502.

Fire Alarm Systems We Install

Residential life safety devices and commercial fire alarm systems, all professionally monitored

Monitored Smoke Detectors

Photoelectric smoke detectors in living areas and bedrooms that alert the monitoring center and your phone, not just the ceiling.

Heat Detectors

Rate-of-rise and fixed-temperature heat detectors for kitchens, garages, attics and workshops where smoke detectors false-alarm.

Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Monitored CO detection near sleeping areas and fuel-burning appliances, with dispatch of fire and EMS on alarm.

Commercial Fire Alarm Panels

Addressable fire alarm control panels with pull stations, horn-strobes, duct detectors and sprinkler waterflow and tamper supervision for offices, retail, churches and warehouses.

Fire Alarm Monitoring & Inspections

24/7 UL-listed fire monitoring with cellular communication, plus annual testing and inspection documentation for the fire marshal and your insurer.

Pricing

Residential fire protection is simple to price; commercial fire alarm systems are engineered to code and quoted after a site review. Typical Atlanta ranges:

  • Monitored smoke, heat or CO detector, installed: $75–$150 per device added to a J&J security system
  • Whole-home monitored fire package (4–6 detectors): $400–$800 in equipment, monitored on your existing plan from $49.99/month
  • Commercial fire alarm system: small retail or office $3,000–$8,000; larger buildings quoted per device count, wiring and code requirements
  • Commercial fire monitoring: $45–$100/month including supervision signals
  • Annual inspection & testing: flat fee based on device count, with documentation provided

Commercial projects include permit drawings and coordination with the local fire marshal. Every proposal is itemized after a free assessment.

Monitored vs. Standalone

  • Dispatch when nobody is home. Most fire damage happens when a house or business is empty. A standalone detector makes noise; a monitored one sends the fire department.
  • No verification delay. Fire and CO signals bypass the verification call and dispatch immediately.
  • One system, one app. Fire devices live on the same IQ4 panel as your burglar alarm, cameras and smart home, with low-battery and trouble alerts sent to your phone.
  • Insurance and code. Monitored fire alarms qualify for homeowner premium discounts, and commercial systems satisfy lease, occupancy and insurance requirements that standalone detectors never can.
  • Maintenance handled. We test, replace and document devices so the system works on the day it matters.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a monitored fire alarm system cost?

Residential monitored smoke, heat and CO detectors run $75–$150 each installed, and a whole-home set is typically $400–$800, monitored on your existing plan from $49.99/month. Commercial systems for a small office or store run $3,000–$8,000 and are quoted to code after a site review.

Do I still need standalone smoke detectors if I have monitored ones?

Georgia building code requires hardwired, interconnected smoke alarms in most homes; monitored detectors are added alongside them so the alarm also reaches the monitoring center. In many installs we can add a module that lets your existing interconnected alarms report to the panel.

Do you handle fire marshal permits and inspections for businesses?

Yes. Commercial fire alarm projects include permit drawings, coordination with the local fire marshal and the acceptance test, plus annual inspection and testing documentation afterward.

Can fire detection be added to my existing security system?

Yes, if you have a Qolsys, Alarm.com-compatible or most other modern panels. We add wireless smoke, heat and CO detectors and enable fire monitoring on the same account.

What happens when a smoke detector goes off?

The monitoring center receives the fire signal and dispatches the fire department immediately, then calls you. You also receive an app alert. Fire and CO alarms are never delayed for verification.

Where should smoke and CO detectors be placed?

Smoke detectors go in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area and on every level; heat detectors in kitchens, garages and attics; CO detectors near sleeping areas and fuel-burning appliances. We map placement during the free assessment.

Do you install fire alarms in churches and schools?

Yes. Places of assembly have specific occupancy requirements for notification devices and pull stations, and we design and install to meet them. See our commercial security systems.

Will a monitored fire alarm lower my insurance?

Most homeowner and commercial policies discount premiums for centrally monitored fire alarms. We provide the monitoring certificate your insurer needs.
