WHAT IS AN ERRCS?
An Errcs (Emergency Responder Communication System) Is A Specialized Communication System That Ensures Clear, Reliable Signals Within Buildings Where Traditional Cellular Or Radio Signals May Be Blocked.

First Responder Systems FAQs
Everything You Need to Know About ERRCS Installation and Compliance in Michigan
What is an Emergency Responder Radio Communication System (ERRCS)?
An ERRCS is a specialized communication system designed to improve radio signal coverage inside buildings where normal signals are weak or blocked by materials like concrete, steel, or low-E glass. It uses a Distributed Antenna System (DAS) to extend public safety frequencies, ensuring first responders can communicate reliably during emergencies.
Why is an ERRCS required in certain buildings?
Like many states, Michigan follows public safety codes requiring ERRCS in buildings that exceed size or construction thresholds. These codes are in place because blocked or unreliable radio signals can delay emergency response times, putting lives at risk. Installing an ERRCS ensures compliance with these safety standards and protects occupants.
What types of buildings typically need an ERRCS?
ERRCS are generally required in high-rise buildings, structures over 50,000 square feet, facilities with underground parking, and properties built with signal-blocking materials. They are common in hospitals, schools, stadiums, senior living facilities, and large warehouses. Our team evaluates your building to determine whether compliance is necessary.
How does Michigan Quality Electric design an ERRCS for my building?
Our process begins with a full consultation and site assessment to measure signal strength throughout your property. We design a customized DAS layout with strategically placed antennas based on the results to ensure consistent coverage. The system is then installed, tested, and certified to meet local fire marshal and public safety requirements.
What happens if my building does not meet ERRCS requirements?
If your property fails ERRCS compliance testing, you may not be able to obtain a certificate of occupancy or pass fire code inspections. This can delay building occupancy and result in fines. Michigan Quality Electric ensures your system is installed and tested correctly so you can meet all public safety requirements without costly delays.
Can ERRCS be integrated with other building systems?
Yes. ERRCS can integrate with existing fire alarms, security systems, and monitoring systems to provide a seamless emergency response solution. Integration allows faster alerts, better communication, and improved safety for both building occupants and emergency personnel.
How is an ERRCS tested and maintained?
Regular testing is required to ensure ERRCS equipment functions as intended. This includes annual inspections, battery backup checks, and signal strength verification. Michigan Quality Electric provides ongoing maintenance to keep your system compliant, reliable, and fully operational during emergencies.
What’s the installation timeline for a first responder system?
Installation timelines vary depending on the size and complexity of your building. Smaller systems may be completed in a few weeks, while larger facilities with multiple antenna points may take longer. After your initial assessment, our team will provide a clear schedule.
Are ERRCS installations expensive?
Costs depend on building size, materials, and system complexity. While installing an ERRCS is an investment, it ensures compliance with safety codes and protects lives. Our team helps clients explore financing options and ensures solutions are scalable for future growth.
How can I schedule a consultation for an ERRCS installation?
