Client Testimonials

We have been working with Telgian, as our fire protection and life safety provider, for the last six years. Telgian is an organization that has routinely demonstrated their industry experience, dedication to customer service and knowledge of regulatory codes and what is required for our facilities to maintain compliance. Telgian performs the fire protection equipment inspections for over 1100 of our locations in the US and Canada. They have provided services and repair in hundreds of facilities throughout our organization, covering a wide variety of issues. In addition, they are a resource that we have used for consulting services and code research. Telgian has managed several projects on our behalf and we are planning to move forward with a formal program for code consulting and project management. This program will provide our organization with a long term return on investment by gaining jurisdictional approval to eliminate unnecessary devices in our facilities that currently cost tens of thousands of dollars to maintain and repair each year.
