Exit and Emergency Light Inspection in Paducah
You shouldn't have to keep the date. We do.
Exit signs and emergency lights only matter when the power drops. Until then they sit on the wall, and a lot of buildings find out too late that the battery behind a lit sign was already dead.
From our Paducah shop at 1333 N 8th St we install, inspect, and service exit signs and emergency lights around town, and we put them on the same calendar as your extinguishers. The techs who work Paducah work out of this building, so the truck that pulls up is coming from across town. They come in a company truck and in uniform. Call 1-800-348-9604 when you're ready to get on the calendar.
Lit isn't the same as working
A sign can look fine every day on building power and still go dark the minute the power drops, because the battery behind it is worn out. You can't tell by looking at it. The test is what tells you. More on how we handle exit and emergency lights company-wide.
The monthly check and the yearly test
NFPA 101, the Life Safety Code, sets the schedule. Every 30 days each light gets a short battery check — hold the test button about 30 seconds and make sure it switches over and stays lit. Once a year they have to run on battery for a full 90 minutes. Your people can do the monthly check, or we can. More on what each emergency light test involves.
What a visit covers
We walk every exit and every path out of the building. Each sign and light gets tested on battery. Batteries and lamps that have quit get replaced, and what we can fix on the spot, we fix. When we leave, the lights have been inspected and serviced, and you have a report for the fire marshal and your files. Keep it with the rest of your building papers. You keep running while we do it.
New lights and dark exits
Putting lights in a new space, an add-on, or a remodel? We install exit signs and emergency lights, then keep them on the calendar from there.
A required exit that's dark is something the fire marshal will write up — and a way out nobody can see. Call 1-800-348-9604. Our 24-hour service covers a required exit that's dark. We'll put it on the calendar.
