Long Standing History

We began in 1966 performing fire alarm inspections, and while we still perform them, our services have expanded to provide quality solutions for integrated systems. Protex Central offers a unique alternative to traditional contracting relationship because we can truly provide single source "turn-key" services.

While our products and services have changed, our values have not. Bound by ethics. Committed to professionalism. Driven towards excellence. These were our values in 1966 and they remain our values today.

UL Listed Fire Alarm Installation Contractor

Based in Hastings, Nebraska with branch offices in Omaha, Nebraska and Des Moines, Iowa, Protex Central is listed with Underwriter's Laboratories as a fire alarm installation contractor. Protex voluntarily participates in this independent, third party verification service. UL listing of an installation is an owner's assurance that the listed contractor has demonstrated and maintains a performance capability to design, install and maintain fire detection and alarm systems in accordance with applicable codes and standards.

NICET Certified Fire Protection Technology Technicians

In addition to maintaining required local alarm licenses, many of Protex Central's system designers and technicians voluntarily submit to certification testing administered by the National Institute for Certified Engineering Technicians in the field of fire protection technology. NICET certification is an owner's assurance that the individuals designing, installing, and programming the fire alarm system have met a written test and field experience standard along with meeting continuing education requirements.

Single Source

Protex Central is unique among fire system suppliers in that they have full installation capabilities through the use of their own employees. Owners benefit from Protex Central's single point of contact for the entire life of the system by eliminating the guesswork involved with determining who to call for design, installation, programming, inspection or warranty questions.
