What it is
What exit sign installation includes
An exit sign is an illuminated sign that marks the path out of a building. It must stay lit when the normal power fails, so most signs have a battery backup or connect to an emergency power source.
- New LED exit signs and combo sign and emergency light units
- Replacement of dim, damaged or failed signs
- Battery replacement and testing
- Wiring to an unswitched circuit so the sign stays on
Fire code in San Angelo
San Angelo has adopted the 2021 International Fire Code. The fire code requires exit signs to stay lit for at least 90 minutes when normal power fails.
Who needs them
San Angelo buildings that order exit sign work
- Shops and restaurants preparing for a fire inspection
- Offices and clinics after a build-out or layout change
- Churches, gyms and event spaces
- Apartment buildings with shared corridors
Exit signs are often part of a larger job. See commercial electricians in San Angelo for build-outs and lighting.
Testing
Owners should press the test button monthly and run a longer battery test once a year. Keep a log for the fire inspector.
Life safety
Exit signs, emergency lights and alarms
Exit signs work with emergency lights that light the path out, and with smoke alarms that give the warning. A building that fails one item often has others to fix.
Residential buildings and rentals need working smoke alarms. Read about smoke detector installation in San Angelo for that side.
