46 Florida-licensed fire alarm subcontractors serve Space Coast (Brevard County). Browse listings below, or create a free* GC account to see phone and email and invite a sub to bid on your RFQ.
Most of these fire alarm subcontractors are based in Melbourne (17), Palm Bay (12), Cocoa (3), Merritt Island (3), Rockledge (2), and Sharpes (2) — plus 7 more across the metro.
Fire alarm subcontractors handle the detection and notification systems in a building — control panels, initiating devices (smoke and heat detectors, pull stations, duct detectors, sprinkler flow and tamper switches), notification appliances, voice evacuation, and the interconnect to elevator recall, HVAC shutdown, and door release. On commercial jobs they price from the fire alarm drawings and spec, coordinate with electrical and mechanical for interconnects, and submit shop drawings for AHJ and fire-marshal review.

When a GC sends a fire alarm RFQ, they're usually looking for a quote against a defined scope: the fire alarm drawings and Division 28 spec section, a clear inclusion and exclusion list (panel, devices, voice evac, monitoring, programming, AHJ submittal, acceptance test), and the sub's read on long-lead panel and device manufacturers. For bid prep a GC typically wants pricing broken out enough to compare apples-to-apples, confirmation the sub priced to the spec book including AHJ submittal and acceptance testing, and the sub's license and insurance on file.
Fire alarm contracting in Florida is a state-licensed specialty, regulated by the Electrical Contractors' Licensing Board (ECLB) under the DBPR — distinct from a general electrical contractor's license. There are two tiers: a certified alarm system contractor (license prefixes EF and EG for the two Classes) is authorized to work anywhere in the state, while a registered alarm system contractor (EY or EZ) is limited to the local jurisdiction that issued their competency card. Florida treats unlicensed contracting as a crime, so confirming a sub's active ECLB alarm license is basic bid-prep diligence.
Yes. Fire alarm work is regulated statewide by the Electrical Contractors' Licensing Board (ECLB) under the DBPR as an alarm system specialty. A certified alarm contractor (prefix EF or EG) works anywhere in Florida; a registered alarm contractor (EY or EZ) is limited to the jurisdiction that issued the competency card.
Not by default. Fire alarm is a separate alarm system specialty under the ECLB. A sub doing fire alarm work in Florida holds an alarm contractor license, which is distinct from the general electrical contractor (EC or ER) license.
The fire alarm drawings and Division 28 spec section, a scope inclusion and exclusion list (panel, devices, voice evacuation, monitoring, programming, AHJ submittal, acceptance test), any long-lead manufacturer items, the bid deadline, and whether a site visit is required.
Yes. GCs post an RFQ and invite matched subs by trade and service area; invited subs are notified and can submit a bid for your bid prep.
Listings are seeded from public Florida DBPR license data, and a sub can claim its listing and upload a credential for a one-time review. The badge reflects what was reviewed: a verified state license earns License Verified — the usual path for a fire alarm sub — a verified certificate of insurance earns Insurance Verified, and a sub with both reviewed shows the Verified Pro umbrella.
