Are you researching fire alarm system costs for a home, factory, or an upcoming construction project? This is a crucial initial step to help you manage your budget proactively and avoid unexpected expenses. However, in reality, many people still feel confused by the wide variety of equipment and prices and don’t know where to start.
As a company specialising in providing fire alarm system equipment and materials, Bao Tin Steel understands these concerns well. The following article will help you better visualise the factors affecting costs, the latest reference price list, and tips for choosing cost-effective and suitable equipment while still ensuring compliance with fire safety standards.
Factors Affecting the Cost of a Fire Alarm System

The cost of investing in equipment for a fire alarm system does not have a fixed number, as it depends on various specific factors of each project.
Here are some key points you should keep in mind when estimating your budget:
Scale and Nature of the Project
- Small houses or offices under 100m² only require a simple system with a limited number of devices.
- For factories or high-rise apartment buildings, the system needs to be expanded and requires more devices, which leads to higher costs.
Type of Fire Alarm System Used
- Conventional system: Lower cost, suitable for small-scale buildings.
- Addressable system: Higher cost, but offers better area management and monitoring — ideal for factories and large buildings.
Type and Specifications of Equipment
- Each system will include a fire alarm control panel, smoke/heat/gas detectors, bells, sirens, fire alarm lights, emergency buttons, etc.
- The type of equipment you choose will directly affect the total cost.
Origin and Brand
- Imported equipment from Japan, Germany, and the US (such as Hochiki, Horing, Firesmart…) is often more expensive but ensures durability and quality.
Level of integration and scalability
- If the project requires integration with an automatic fire suppression system, smart control systems, or surveillance cameras, you will need compatible supporting devices, which will result in higher costs
Bao Tin Steel is always ready to assist you in selecting equipment that suits your specific project and budget, ensuring no excess or shortage.

Investment Cost:
-
Fire Alarm Control Panel: from 4 to 7 million VND

Detectors, bells, push buttons: from several hundred thousand VND per unit
Cost of Addressable Fire Alarm Systems
Features: Each device has a unique address, allowing precise identification of the incident location (individual rooms, floors).
Advantages: Centralised management, easy scalability, suitable for large projects (apartment buildings, factories, shopping centres, etc.).
Disadvantages: Higher equipment cost, requires higher technical expertise for installation.
Investment Cost:
-
Fire Alarm Control Panel: from 10 to 25 million VND, depending on the number of channels

Cost-Saving Tips for Fire Alarm Systems in Businesses
When considering investing in a fire alarm system, everyone wants to know how to optimize costs while ensuring safety and compliance with fire protection standards. Here are some practical tips to help you save effectively:
Identify the correct usage needs
- Not every project requires a high-end addressable system. If you only need to install it for a residential house or a small office, a conventional system with an appropriate number of devices is sufficient to ensure safety and save costs.
Prioritise branded equipment with full certification
Although the initial cost may be a bit higher, using genuine equipment with CO, CQ will help you:
-
Easy to pass the fire protection inspection
-
Minimises the risk of damage and maintenance issues
-
Easy to replace when expanding later
Cheap but unbranded products can cost you twice as much when you have to replace them
Buy as a set or as a combo package
- Many suppliers (including Bao Tin Steel) often offer discounts when you purchase a complete set of fire alarm equipment: control panel + detectors + sirens + lights + accessories. The discount is better compared to buying individual devices separately.
Equipment planning based on drawings or the actual site
- Having a floor plan helps you (or the consultant) determine the exact number of detectors, sirens and lights needed → avoid buying too much or too little.
👉 Bao Tin Steel is always ready to support you from consulting on equipment selection to quick, accurate, and clear quotes.
Invest right – Save cost – Operate with peace of mind
