All makes and models. ## Why fire alarm maintenance matters A fire alarm system that isn't maintained is a system that will fail when it matters. Detectors accumulate dust and become insensitive. Backup batteries lose capacity and fail silently. Zones develop intermittent faults that only show up during a real alarm. Panels log errors that nobody reads. [Qyvea Limited](https://qyvea.co.ke/) maintains fire alarm systems across Kenya — for the buildings we installed them in, and for systems installed by other companies. Whether you need a scheduled servicing contract, a one-off system health check, or an emergency fault repair, we can respond across Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu and all 47 counties. Scope ## What fire alarm maintenance includes ### Detector cleaning Heads cleaned, sensitivity tested, and replaced where contamination has degraded performance. ### Battery testing Panel and detector batteries load-tested and replaced before they fail under load. ### Panel diagnostics Fault log reviewed, panel software checked, and configuration verified against the site. ### Sounder & strobe testing Every alerting device tested for audibility and visibility on every floor. ### Call point testing Manual call points triggered and verified, with any failed units repaired or replaced. ### Written service reports Every visit documented — what was tested, what passed, what needs attention, what was replaced. Maintenance tiers ## Maintenance contract options - **Annual service** — one full servicing visit per year with written report. Suitable for low-risk, clean environments. - **Biannual service** — two visits per year, plus priority call-out. The standard choice for offices, schools and hotels. - **Quarterly service** — four visits per year, plus priority call-out. Recommended for kitchens, warehouses, factories and high-dust environments. - **24/7 call-out cover** — added to any tier, with response within 4 hours for critical faults. - **Multi-year contracts** — typically reduce the annual cost and lock in response times.

Most fire alarm systems should be tested and serviced at least every six months, with a full annual service covering detector cleaning, battery testing, panel diagnostics and zone verification. High-dust or high-traffic environments — kitchens, warehouses, factories — often need quarterly servicing. Qyvea sets the schedule based on the environment, not a generic calendar. What does fire alarm maintenance include? Detector cleaning and sensitivity testing, battery testing and replacement, panel diagnostics and fault log review, sounder and strobe testing, call point testing, zone verification, and a written service report. Qyvea documents every visit so you can show a maintenance history at inspection. Do you maintain fire alarm systems you didn't install? Yes. Qyvea maintains fire alarm systems across all major manufacturers and panels, whether we installed them or not. We'll survey the existing system first, report its condition honestly, and either bring it back to standard or advise replacement where the system has reached end of life. What is included in a fire alarm maintenance contract? Qyvea maintenance contracts include scheduled servicing visits, consumable replacement (batteries, detector heads where needed), written service reports, priority 24/7 call-out cover, and discounted rates on repairs. Multi-year contracts typically reduce the annual cost. How quickly do you respond to fire alarm faults? Qyvea responds to fire alarm faults within 24 hours for standard call-outs and within 4 hours for critical faults under a maintenance contract. Systems in fault are effectively not protecting the building, so response times are short by design. Do you cover the whole of Kenya? Yes. Qyvea is a Nairobi-based, delivery-only supplier, and services fire alarm systems across Kenya including Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, Thika, Ruiru, Naivasha, Nanyuki, Nyeri and Diani. ## Book a fire alarm service or health check Free system assessment, itemised report, and a maintenance contract that fits the building.
