Frequently Asked Questions
How many times can a FireBot activate before I need to replace it?

No, FireBot is completely self-contained and battery operated.
How do I turn on my FireBot?
FireBot comes from our assembly plant here in the US already operating and monitoring.
Is there any maintenance?
Regular cleaning of the surfaces of the device to remove grease build up is recommended. No one likes a dirty house!
How long does FireBot last?
Up to 10 years, at which point the suppressant and battery need to be changed, which can be performed by anyone. Contact us for a 10-year service pack to keep your FireBot in peak condition.
