Types of Fire Alarms
At Kauffman Co., we install different types of fire alarms, so you know we’ll have the product you need to stay safe. Types of fire alarms we install include:
- Ionization smoke detectors: Ionization smoke detectors are very effective at detecting fast-flaming fires. They work by changing the air inside the detector, creating a small current. When smoke enters the detector, it disrupts this current, which triggers the alarm. These detectors are good at sensing smaller smoke particles from fast-burning fires.
- Photoelectric smoke detectors: Photoelectric smoke detectors are great at detecting smoldering fires, which produce larger smoke particles. They use a light beam to detect smoke. When smoke enters the chamber, it scatters the light and the alarm is triggered. These detectors are ideal for providing early warnings for slow-burning fires.
Our Estimate & Quote Process for Fire Alarm Installation
We want to help you find the most cost-effective fire alarm system to meet your safety needs. When performing estimates for new construction or retrofit projects, we first research code requirements. Then we assess what wiring needs to be done. We verify material costs, compare multiple design options, and present you with the best solution to fit your budget.
Thanks to our extensive knowledge of fire codes and fire marshal requirements for the state of Texas, you can expect few, if any, change orders. We take pride in our customer-focused estimate approach and will do everything we can to conform to your budget.
Once we have your approval, we install the new system quickly and efficiently to reduce downtime for your business.

While installation is the first step to achieving a functional fire alarm system, we offer other services to ensure proper functionality for years to come.
- Regular inspection and testing lets you know your system will work correctly in case of a fire. It’s a much smarter, safer alternative than waiting until a fire breaks out to find out you have a problem.
- Fire alarm monitoring ensures the fire department is alerted of the emergency even if a fire starts in the middle of the night when no one is around. It’s a vital part of any fire alarm system.
