Tired of Poor Service and High Fees? You Have Options.

We hear the same story from building managers across Staten Island, Manhattan, Queens, and the Bronx:
“My fire alarm company is impossible to reach.”
“Our inspection failed again.”
“We’re stuck in a long-term contract with terrible service.”

You don’t have to settle. At IRL Systems, we make switching fire alarm providers simple and stress-free with our fire alarm takeover service. Whether you’re facing unresolved violations, expired certificates, or poor customer support, we’ll step in and help you regain control—fast.

“Switching doesn’t have to be hard. We make it simple to get the service you deserve.”

What Is a Fire Alarm System Takeover?

A fire alarm takeover allows IRL Systems to assume monitoring, inspection, testing, and maintenance responsibilities for your existing system. No need for a full replacement—we assess what you have, identify deficiencies, and bring the system up to code.

We’ve taken over hundreds of accounts across the five boroughs, and we know how to do it without interrupting your operations.

Why Switch to IRL Systems?

  • No long-term contracts – You stay because you want to, not because you’re locked in.

  • FDNY S-98 certified technicians – Fully qualified to test, inspect, and maintain your system.

  • NICET Level III certified leadership – Oversight that ensures top-tier service.

  • Faster service and better communication – Real people, not phone menus.

  • Digital inspections via Building Reports – Log in 24/7 to access reports and deficiency logs.

We treat your building as if it were our own—with care, consistency, and attention to detail.

Takeovers Without the Disruption

Worried about disruption? Don’t be. Our team ensures a seamless transition by coordinating with your existing monitoring provider (if applicable), reviewing existing documentation, and performing a baseline inspection to catch any outstanding issues.

We notify the FDNY where necessary, update your system profile in Building Reports, and get your inspection schedule back on track.

“We fix the problems your last provider ignored.”

Who We Work With

We specialize in fire alarm system takeovers for:

  • Commercial high-rise buildings

  • Restaurants and retail stores

  • Office centers

  • Warehouses and industrial properties

No More Contracts. Just Confidence.

Long-term contracts don’t guarantee quality. At IRL Systems, we believe in earning your business every time we show up. Our no-contract model means we work harder to deliver value, professionalism, and prompt service—every visit, every inspection.

There’s no reason to stay stuck with an overpriced, underperforming vendor. We can step in, clean up the mess, and make sure your system—and your building—is fully protected.
