FAQ

Common Questions

Is Technology Sandbox licensed to install fire alarm systems in New York?
Yes. Technology Sandbox is licensed by the N.Y.S. Department of State, License #12000373086, in the Business of Installing, Servicing, or Maintaining Security or Fire Alarm Systems. All installations are performed by licensed technicians and comply with NFPA 72, NFPA 70, and applicable local codes.
How often does my fire alarm system need to be inspected?
Under NFPA 72 and New York State law, commercial fire alarm systems require annual inspection and testing by a licensed contractor.

Often yes. We can frequently retain existing sensors and wiring while replacing the control panel and communicator — significantly reducing upgrade costs. We assess your current system during a free site survey and recommend the most cost-effective path to modern, monitored protection.
Do you handle AHJ permits and inspections?
Yes. Technology Sandbox handles the complete permitting process — preparing and submitting permit applications to the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), coordinating inspection appointments, and ensuring all documentation is in order for final sign-off.
