Frequently asked

Do you install new Fire-Lite systems in California?

Yes. Fireside Security is a licensed C-10 contractor and an experienced Fire-Lite integrator across California. We handle design, permit submittal, installation, commissioning, and acceptance testing.

Can you take over service on an existing Fire-Lite system?

Yes. We routinely take over Fire-Lite systems installed by other contractors. We start with a full site survey, verify programming, replace end-of-life components, and bring documentation current.

Yes. All monitoring is delivered from a UL 864 Listed central station over dual-path IP + LTE-M cellular — no dependency on copper POTS lines being retired in 2026.
