Authorized Kidde Commercial dealer serving Atlanta, the Carolinas, and the broader Southeast. NFPA 72-compliant addressable systems engineered, installed, programmed, and inspected by licensed Georgia low-voltage contractors.
A fire alarm system is your building's first line of defense — and one of the most heavily regulated systems in any commercial project. JB Technologies designs and installs addressable fire alarm systems that meet NFPA 72, IFC, and local AHJ requirements for new construction, tenant improvements, and retrofit projects throughout Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, and the Carolinas.
We work alongside general contractors and building owners from preconstruction through commissioning, handling device layout, specification compliance, SLC loop design, NAC circuits, sequence-of-operations programming, and final acceptance testing — so your project passes inspection the first time.
We develop complete fire alarm drawings from scratch or work from architect-provided plans. Our designs account for device spacing per NFPA 72, SLC loop architecture, NAC circuit loading, battery backup calculations, and sequence-of-operation requirements. Every design is submitted for AHJ approval prior to installation.
Our licensed technicians install initiating devices, notification appliances, control panels, power supplies, annunciators, and relay modules. We coordinate with the electrical contractor for power drops and with the GC for ceiling access. Rough-in and trim are sequenced to match construction milestones and avoid rework.
Point-by-point programming and loop configuration ensure every device is correctly identified in the panel. We write and test the full sequence of operations — elevator recall, air handler shutdown, door holder release, smoke control integration — before scheduling the AHJ inspection.
We perform full NFPA 72 acceptance testing including 100% device testing, audibility verification, battery load testing, and trouble condition simulation. We prepare all required documentation and attend the AHJ inspection. Annual inspection services and 24/7 monitoring connections are also available.
Fire alarm requirements vary significantly by occupancy type, construction classification, and local AHJ. JB Technologies has installed code-compliant systems across a wide range of commercial building types nationwide.
Tenant improvement and new construction fire alarm systems for Class A office towers, mixed-use developments, and commercial buildings.
NFPA 72 and NFPA 101 compliant systems for hospitals, medical office buildings, and outpatient facilities with smoke compartment integration.
Addressable fire alarm systems for apartment complexes, student housing, and senior living — including corridor and in-unit devices.
High-bay detection, beam detectors, and linear heat detection for warehouse, distribution, and light manufacturing facilities.
K-12 and university fire alarm systems designed to meet state education agency requirements and integrate with mass notification platforms.
Hotel and resort fire alarm installations coordinated with existing systems, elevator integration, and central monitoring connections.
Intelligent addressable panels with point-by-point identification for large facilities; conventional systems for smaller occupancies where cost efficiency is critical.
Integration with emergency communication systems (ECS) and mass notification platforms for campus-wide or multi-tenant voice evacuation.
Interface with building HVAC and smoke control systems for elevator pressurization, stairwell pressurization, and atrium smoke exhaust.
UL-listed central station connections for 24/7 alarm monitoring, trouble notification, and supervisory signal management.
Wireless initiating devices and notification appliances for retrofit projects where running new cable pathways is impractical or cost-prohibitive.
Networked fire alarm systems connecting multiple panels across a campus via fiber optic backbone with central annunciation and monitoring.
Every fire alarm system we design and install meets or exceeds the applicable codes and standards. We stay current with code adoption cycles across all jurisdictions nationwide.
National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code — the primary standard governing fire alarm system design, installation, and testing requirements.
International Fire Code and International Building Code requirements for occupancy-specific fire protection and detection systems.
We coordinate directly with the Authority Having Jurisdiction in each municipality to ensure permit approval and acceptance testing compliance.
JB Technologies is an authorized Kidde Commercial Engineered Systems Dealer — one of a select network of contractors certified to design, install, and service Kidde's full line of commercial fire alarm products across the Southeast.
As a Kidde ESD partner, we have direct access to the latest product lines, technical support, and factory training — which means faster quotes, better pricing, and installations done right the first time.
Watch how Kidde Commercial's systems protect people and property across commercial, healthcare, and multifamily applications.
Permits pulled in our name; Atlanta and metro-suburb AHJ relationships built over years of new construction and TI work.
Access control, CCTV, fire alarm, and the cabling under all of it on one contract — fewer finger-points when you call for service.
Authorized Kidde Commercial dealer for the Southeast plus active partnerships with the access control, video, and infrastructure brands enterprise IT teams already standardize on.
Submittals, sequences of operations, as-builts, and inspection reports formatted for your AHJ and insurance carrier — not buried in field email.
We meet your AHJ, walk the building, and confirm scope: detection coverage, notification, monitoring, integration with HVAC/elevators/access control.
A signed/sealed submittal package with riser, sequence of operations, battery calc, and device schedule that meets NFPA 72 and the AHJ's checklist.
Rough-in coordinated with electrical and ceiling trades, final terminations, programming, and a witnessed acceptance test with the AHJ.
Annual inspection and test agreements with reports formatted for your AHJ and insurance carrier; 24/7 service for fault and trouble events.
It depends on occupancy classification, square footage, and your local AHJ's adoption of NFPA 72. New construction in most Atlanta-area jurisdictions defaults to addressable for anything beyond a small tenant suite. We confirm AHJ requirements before design.
NFPA 72 requires annual inspection at minimum, with quarterly visual checks and semi-annual functional checks of specific devices. We offer inspection and test agreements that include the report your AHJ and insurance carrier need.
Kidde Commercial Engineered Systems (the AlarmSaf / Edwards lineage) is sold and serviced through authorized dealers. We are an authorized Southeast dealer; the panels and devices we install are supportable by any other Kidde Commercial ESD, so you are not stranded if you change integrators.
The sequence of operations defines exactly what every input does — which detectors trigger which notification appliances, what gets reported to monitoring, what HVAC dampers close, what doors release, what elevators recall. AHJs require it on submittals; field technicians use it for commissioning and any future change order.
Yes — we connect your panel to a UL-listed central station via cellular or IP communicators. Phone-line (POTS) transmitters are no longer compliant in most jurisdictions and we phase them out at retrofit.
On general alarm, the fire panel drops voltage to access control door releases (NFPA 101 egress), commands HVAC to shut down or pressurize stairwells, recalls elevators per ASME A17.1, and signals the central station — all via the sequence of operations programmed at commissioning.
Whether you're bidding a new construction project or need a retrofit in an occupied building — we can help.
