Fire & Security Alarm Company Inc. was founded on a simple belief: that every property owner deserves a fire alarm expert who shows up, does the work right, and stands behind it. For over three decades, owner Ben Terani has built that reputation — one system at a time — across the greater Bay Area.
As an authorized distributor of Honeywell Silent Knight fire alarm systems, we bring manufacturer-level knowledge to every project, whether it is a brand-new commercial build or an aging panel in need of repair or replacement.
"Ben installed our fire alarm system for our restaurant in Oakland. Professional, knowledgeable, and we passed inspection on the first try. Exactly the kind of contractor you want."
"We've relied on Fire & Security Alarm Company for over 10 years across multiple properties. Always responsive, fair pricing, and the work is always done right. Wouldn't go anywhere else."
"Ben came out the same day our panel started faulting. He diagnosed it quickly, explained what happened in plain English, and had it fixed before end of day. Real craftsmanship."
