Frequently asked
Do you install new Potter systems in California?
Yes. Fireside Security is a licensed C-10 contractor and an experienced Potter integrator across California. We handle design, permit submittal, installation, commissioning, and acceptance testing.
Can you take over service on an existing Potter system?
Yes. We routinely take over Potter 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.
