Detection & alarm
Fire alarm control panel
The heart of the system: receives detector signals, locates the event, and triggers alarms and linked suppression.
Fire detection and alarm systems for facilities in Riyadh
An alarm system is the first line of fire protection: detectors that sense smoke or heat early, a control panel that locates the source, and devices that warn everyone in the building to leave before the fire spreads. We supply, install, program and hand over the system ready for inspection, then maintain it.

Why Marfaa
A clear offer
The quote states specifications, quantities and timeline. No catch-all line items, no surprises on the invoice.
Compliance before handover
We do not hand over a system that would not pass inspection. Readiness for approval is part of the job, not an extra step.
After installation
A system needs scheduled maintenance to keep working. We stay with you after handover rather than ending there.
Have ready before the survey
- Building plan, or approximate area and number of floors
- The activity carried out in the facility
- Photos of existing systems, if any
- Any note from the municipality or Civil Defense
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between smoke and heat detectors?
Smoke detectors catch a fire early and suit most spaces; heat detectors suit areas with normal steam or smoke, such as kitchens. We choose the type for each location during the survey.
Do you maintain alarm systems installed by someone else?
Yes. We inspect the existing system, assess its condition, then propose repairs or a maintenance contract.
My alarm panel shows a fault tone. What should I do?
Do not switch the panel off. Note the message it shows and contact us so we can find the cause.
