Niceville sits on Boggy Bayou next to Eglin Air Force Base, and its mix of professional offices, churches, schools and apartment communities keeps growing. If your building needs a new fire alarm, a panel replacement or its yearly test, TekPro handles it from Panama City, about 60 miles away by road.

Getting Started

Before we quote, we review the building’s layout and existing equipment and ask about any open items from your last fire inspection. That way the plan covers what your fire official will actually look for.

Panel Replacements and Takeovers

If your panel is outdated or the company that installed it is gone, we can often take over service. Depending on what we find, that may mean reprogramming, replacing the panel and keeping good devices, or a phased upgrade spread over budget cycles.

Fire Alarm Needs Around Boggy Bayou

Many Niceville buildings serve people who work at or around Eglin, and plenty of local businesses lease space in offices and strip centers that have changed hands and tenants over the years. That’s where fire alarm problems tend to hide: a remodel adds rooms without adding strobes, a tenant moves a wall, or an old panel stays in service long after parts get hard to find. We look at the system as it stands today, compare it with how the space is used now and give you a clear plan to bring it up to date. Depending on where your property sits, the fire official may be with the city or a local fire control district, and we coordinate with whoever has jurisdiction.

How We Serve Niceville

TekPro is based at 1609 Lisenby Avenue in Panama City, and we serve Niceville and the rest of Okaloosa County from there. Niceville is about 60 miles from our office. Office hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, and emergency service is available 24/7. TekPro’s Florida alarm contractor license, EF20002191, is held by Cole Connolly. For more about this service, see our fire alarm systems and fire alarm inspection pages, or go back to all of our services in Niceville.

Monitoring That Meets Code

Many commercial fire alarm systems must be monitored, and the communication path has to meet code. We can replace landline dialers with cellular communicators and set up 24/7 monitoring so alarm, supervisory and trouble signals reach the monitoring center.

Working Alongside Sprinkler Contractors

In buildings with sprinklers, the fire alarm watches flow and tamper switches. We coordinate testing with your sprinkler contractor so both sides are checked and documented.

Common Questions

We renovated our suite. Does the fire alarm need changes?

Often it does. New walls, rooms or uses can require added detectors or notification devices. We’ll review the layout and tell you what the change requires.

Can you inspect a system another company installed?

In many cases, yes. Send us the panel brand and model and we’ll confirm.

Do you work on fire alarms in Valparaiso and Bluewater Bay too?

Yes. We serve Niceville and the surrounding communities, including Valparaiso and Bluewater Bay.
