What is N.C. Gen. Stat. § 90-21.16 (the AED Access Act)?

This is the core of North Carolina's AED law. It establishes civil liability immunity for trained individuals who use an AED in good faith during a cardiac emergency, and sets requirements for device registration, physician oversight, and user training. Having a properly documented program — not just a device on the wall — is essential to qualify for these legal protections.

Which AED brands do you sell in Fayetteville, NC?

We are an authorized dealer for ZOLL, Philips HeartStart, HeartSine, Defibtech, and Cardiac Science AEDs. We help you choose the right device for your facility based on your environment, staff training level, and budget. All AEDs are new, factory-direct, and include manufacturer warranties.

Do you provide on-site AED and CPR training in Fayetteville?

Yes. We travel to your facility anywhere in Fayetteville, Hope Mills, Spring Lake, Raeford, and the surrounding NC and SC communities. Our AHA, ECSI, NAEMT, and ARC certified instructors train your team on the specific AED model installed in your building using hands-on methods. Groups of all sizes welcome, including evenings and weekends.

How much does an AED cost?

AED prices vary by brand and model, typically ranging from $1,200 to $2,500. Replacement pads and batteries are additional consumables that expire every 2–5 years depending on the model. Contact us for a customized quote — we offer competitive pricing, bundle deals with training, and local delivery and setup throughout the Fayetteville area.

How often do AED pads and batteries need to be replaced?

AED batteries typically last 4–5 years, while electrode pads expire every 2–5 years depending on the brand and model. Pads that have been used in a rescue must be replaced immediately. We track expiration dates for all our managed devices and send advance reminders so your AED is never out of compliance.

What happens when our AED pads or battery expire?

If you are on our AED Program Management plan, you never have to think about this — we track expiration dates proactively and deliver replacements before they expire. For other clients, we send advance reminders and can handle replacements at any time. An AED with expired consumables is not a functioning AED and does not provide legal protection.

Can you manage an AED we already own?

Absolutely. We can take over management of your existing device regardless of brand — handling inspections, consumable tracking, NC registration, and staff training. We support all major AED brands including Philips HeartStart, ZOLL, Cardiac Science, Defibtech, and HeartSine.

Do you serve areas outside of Fayetteville, NC?

Yes. We serve businesses, schools, and healthcare facilities throughout Cumberland, Hoke, Sampson, Bladen, Richmond, Robeson, Moore, and Harnett counties in NC, plus the Charleston, SC Lowcountry area. If you are within 30–50 miles of Fayetteville, contact us to confirm service coverage for your specific location.

Why Every Second Counts

Sudden cardiac arrest can strike anyone, anywhere, at any time. When it does, an on-site AED is the difference between life and death. Waiting for EMS to arrive is not enough — your Fayetteville-area business, school, or facility needs a rescue-ready defibrillator on the wall and people trained to use it.

North Carolina AED Requirements

North Carolina's AED framework is built around N.C. Gen. Stat. § 90-21.16 (the AED Access Act), which establishes civil liability immunity for trained users who use an AED in good faith. But immunity requires more than a device on the wall — it requires proper maintenance, documented staff training, and a compliant program. Here's what applies to Fayetteville-area facilities:

Public K–12 Schools (§ 115C-47)

North Carolina requires AEDs in public school buildings, and the NC Smart Heart Act (SB 278) now mandates every public school maintain a Cardiac Emergency Response Plan (CERP). Learn more at our dedicated Smart Heart Act compliance guide.

Government Buildings (HB 914)

All NC state government buildings must have AEDs on-site, with mandatory training for state employees working in those buildings.

Dental Offices (21 NCAC 16Q)

The NC Dental Board requires AEDs in licensed dental practices, with staff trained in their use.

All Employers (OSHA General Duty Clause)

Federal OSHA requires employers to provide a safe workplace with reasonable emergency preparedness — which includes AEDs in many workplace settings.

Good Samaritan Protections: NC law provides civil immunity to trained responders who use an AED in good faith — but only if your device is properly maintained, pads and batteries are current, and staff are trained. An AED with expired pads does not provide protection. We help you stay compliant so your coverage holds.

It's More Than Buying the Cheapest AED Online

Anyone can buy an AED from a website and hang it on the wall. But having the device is only the first step — the real question is whether your organization is actually prepared to save a life and legally compliant. That's where we come in.

Compliance & Legal Requirements

North Carolina has specific AED laws — placement, maintenance, training, and medical oversight requirements. We make sure you're fully compliant, not just equipped. Schools have additional requirements under the NC Smart Heart Act (SB 278).

Staff CPR & AED Training

An AED only saves a life if someone nearby knows how to use it. We provide on-site training so your team is confident and ready to respond in an emergency.

Ongoing Maintenance & Readiness

Pads expire, batteries drain, and AEDs need regular self-test verification. We track expiration dates and handle maintenance so your device is always rescue-ready.

Program Documentation

We maintain complete records — placement, inspections, training certifications, and compliance documentation — so you're prepared for any audit or inspection.

We help organizations across Fayetteville and surrounding areas build complete AED programs — from selecting the right device to training your team and keeping everything compliant year after year.

AED FAQs

Common questions about AEDs, NC compliance, and our services in Fayetteville and the surrounding areas.

It depends on your facility type. NC currently mandates AEDs in public K–12 schools, state government buildings, and licensed dental offices. However, the federal OSHA General Duty Clause applies to all employers — requiring a safe workplace with reasonable emergency preparedness. Many Fayetteville-area businesses install AEDs proactively to protect employees, customers, and visitors while qualifying for NC's Good Samaritan liability protections.
