Systems that protect people first, and property second

Life-safety systems are the one part of your building that absolutely must work on the worst day it ever has. Ritch Electric installs and services complete fire alarm and security systems, detection, notification, voice evacuation, mass notification, access control, CCTV, and CO₂ monitoring, for schools, hospitals, offices, and military facilities across Georgia and Alabama.

A fire alarm that passes inspection is the minimum. A system that people can hear, understand, and act on in an emergency is the standard we build to.

Every building and occupancy type carries its own code requirements, NFPA 72 for fire alarm, life-safety code for egress, and, on federal work, UFC criteria for mass notification. We design to the correct standard from the first drawing, coordinate with the fire marshal, and handle the acceptance testing that gets you a signed-off system.

Fire alarm control equipment installed by Ritch Electric

Why choose our fire alarm & security services:

Full life-safety scope: detection, notification, voice evacuation, and mass notification as one coordinated system
Integrated security: access control, CCTV, and monitoring designed alongside the fire system, not bolted on after
Code fluency: NFPA 72, life-safety egress, and federal mass-notification criteria met and documented
Institutional experience: schools, hospitals, and military facilities where inspections are frequent and stakes are high

Security threats and code requirements both evolve. Whether you're replacing a panel that's no longer supported, extending coverage into a renovation, or adding cameras and access control to an existing building, we make the new work integrate cleanly with what's already there.

Our proven process:

Code review & survey: occupancy requirements, existing equipment, and coverage gaps assessed
System design: device layout, panel selection, and integration engineered to the governing codes
Careful installation: clean work in occupied buildings, coordinated with your staff and schedule
Acceptance testing: every device tested, the fire marshal walkthrough handled, documentation delivered

Can you work on an existing fire alarm system, or only new installs?
Both. We extend, repair, and replace existing systems as well as install new ones. When a panel is obsolete or unsupported, we'll plan the changeover so the building stays protected and code-compliant throughout the transition.
Are your electricians licensed and insured?
Yes. Ritch Electric is fully licensed and insured, holding electrical contractor licenses in both Georgia and Alabama, and all work is performed under the owner's license. Every electrician is fully trained through the IEC (Independent Electrical Contractors) apprenticeship-to-journeyman program, holds a journeyman electrician card, and is trained in OSHA, arc flash, confined space, and first aid/CPR, backed by $2M single / $10M aggregate bonding.
Do you handle government and military projects?
That's our specialty: 1,500+ DoD projects at Fort Benning, EM-385 safety compliance, Davis-Bacon payroll reporting, and full base access. SAM.gov active: UEI NQBFJML4BNK7, CAGE 0M006.
