The fire marshal or the job is forcing a decision
| What happened | Read this | Typical next step |
|---|---|---|
| The fire marshal says you must install a system | The fire marshal ordered ERRCS | Confirm it applies, survey, permit before the deadline |
| The permit expired or the installer quit | Permit expired or installer quit | Get the permit file, then a contractor to take over |
| The certificate of occupancy is on hold | CO held up by radio coverage | Survey, design to the fire department's criteria, acceptance test |
| The condo board needs bids | Condo board ERRCS bids checklist | Same scope to 3 installers, compare side by side |
Not sure your building needs a system at all?
Run the free building checker or read the requirements for your area. In Florida, small and low-rise buildings can be exempt, and no system is required if the fire department's signal is too weak even outside the building (Florida ERRCS law, explained).
