Residential Fire Alarm Installation: Every Second Counts
Fire spreads rapidly, especially in modern homes with synthetic materials, where a small flame can become a life-threatening blaze in under three minutes. As expert life safety installers, we ensure your fire detection system does more than just sound an alarm—it takes immediate action.
We specialize in residential fire alarm installation, upgrading from isolated, battery-operated units to a fully interconnected, professionally monitored life safety network.

The Importance ofResidential Fire Protection
Basic alarms only alert you to danger. Our professional systems offer active protection.
1. Automatic Emergency Dispatch
Our systems feature 24/7 central station monitoring. When a detector is triggered, a signal is sent to our center, and we dispatch the fire department immediately, whether you're home or away. This quick action can save lives and property.
2. Reduced Insurance Premiums
Monitored fire systems are favoured by insurance companies, often leading to a 10% to 20% discount on premiums. These savings can offset the cost of monitoring services.
3. Protection for Pets and Property
In the event of a fire while you're away, pets are vulnerable. A monitored system ensures help is on the way, increasing the chances of saving your pets and minimizing property damage.
Included Hardware / Software
Our fire protection systems feature interconnected smoke and heat detectors, monitored 24/7 for immediate alerts. This ensures prompt emergency dispatch, protecting your home and loved ones even when you're away.

Deployment
Strategic sensor placement is crucial for safety and compliance. We use specific sensors in designated areas to enhance protection and reduce false alarms:
Bedrooms and Hallways
- Smoke & CO sensors are essential as building codes (NFPA 72) mandate smoke detectors inside and outside sleeping areas to ensure early detection and safety.
Kitchens
- Rate-of-Rise Heat Detectors detectors are designed to prevent false alarms from cooking smoke, activating only with rapid temperature increases, ensuring accurate alerts.
Garages and Attics
- Smoke detectors in these areas often trigger false alarms due to exhaust and dust; heat sensors provide a more reliable and effective solution.
Utility / Furnace Rooms
- CO detectors are crucial here to catch leaks early, preventing gas from reaching living spaces and ensuring occupant safety.

Great service! Blackbird Security is monitoring 3 buildings for us. The guards are on time, they make their rounds in the agreed time and they are alert. When I come late at night, the guards check me out to see what I am doing there, even though they know me and my car. Very attentive. Always answer calls, email back within 24 hours and report daily. If you need security... hands down, go with Blackbird!!!

Blackbird patrols have cleaned up my parking lot. Without them we had drug users sleeping in the corners leaving a big mess. They patrol every hour and their prices are very good!

Blackbird Security is an outstanding integrated security provider. They supply professional and reliable security guards for a couple Downtown properties of ours in Edmonton, Alberta. Their mobile guards are very responsive, fast acting, professional and thorough during their patrol checks. With combining their guard man-power and mobile fleet, we have peace of mind that our site is always safe and secure. With my two Downtown locations, I need to be able to trust that my security provider has not only our back, but our valued tenants as well. With that in mind I have no doubt that they will be able to provide you the same top notch service for any of your security needs.

How do I measure the effectiveness of security measures?
Measuring the effectiveness of security measures involves tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) to evaluate how well systems and personnel are meeting safety and asset protection goals. Start by analyzing incident response times, reductions in theft, vandalism, or shrinkage, and overall resolution rates for reported issues. Comparing pre- and post-implementation data helps demonstrate tangible improvements in safety and loss prevention. Regular audits, surveys, and risk assessment reports can also gauge the reliability and perception of security measures.
Key KPIs to track include:
- Incident response times: Faster responses to alarms or emergencies.
- Reduction in theft/vandalism: Compare loss data before and after implementation.
- Patrol compliance: Track patrol frequency and adherence via GPS or logs.
- False alarm rates: Lower rates ensure focus on real threats.
- Client/Employee satisfaction: Gather feedback to measure confidence in security.
- Client services: Dedicated account representative who supports ongoing needs & can adjust strategy as needed
