Some time ago, the cover plate of the fire sprinkler on the ceiling of my second floor was knocked…read moreloose and fell off. This happened because my son fell on the third floor and accidentally hit the spot where the second-floor fire sprinkler was located. I knew nothing about this kind of thing and was really worried that water would start spraying out immediately! I quickly reached out on Yelp to several licensed fire protection service providers, hoping someone could help reinstall it as soon as possible. Leon from Central Fire Protection & Services was the fastest to respond--within ten minutes! I asked Leon if he could come quickly to help me replace and install it because I had to go out the next day. Leon asked me to send him photos and a short video. After reviewing them, he reassured me that there was no need to worry, that it wasn't a big problem, and told me to just contact him again after I got home. When we returned from our trip, I contacted Leon right away. Leon patiently and thoroughly guided me online on how to choose the correct new cover plate, how to purchase it, and explained that once I received the parts, I could actually install it myself. Even after receiving the new part, I still insisted on having Leon come install it, since I'm not a professional. But Leon kindly and carefully walked me through the installation step by step. Finally, with Leon's help, I successfully installed the new cover plate! I was so happy--not just because Leon provided all this guidance for free and never tried to take advantage of me, but also because through Leon, I learned something new myself. Now, with immense gratitude, I'm writing this review to give Leon the highest praise for his professionalism, honesty, dedication, and his willingness to go above and beyond. I recommend Leon to all my friends. I myself work in professional consulting, and Leon's values completely align with mine: not putting profit first, but putting truly helping others first! It's because of people like Leon that our world becomes a better place. (Oh, and even when I insisted that Leon give me a quote earlier, the service price he offered was extremely reasonable.) Thank you, Leon!

Our restaurant…read morerecently had an ANSUL emergency, and they immediately told me they would send a technician out to inspect it. Luckily, they were already working on another project right down the block, so they arrived very quickly. Kim, who was my main point of contact, kept me updated the entire time -- from quotes to procedures and next steps. From this experience alone, I can tell they truly care about their customers and provide a very personal touch, which is rare these days. Thank you to Kim, Ben (owner), and the entire crew. You guys are awesome!

Yes, you did lower the price after seeing that my system only had two sprinklers. But then you…read morecharged me double that amount to replace those same two sprinklers heads and screw in two new ones. You're calling that "emergency repairs"? Again, you told me it was required for compliance -- which is misleading. As I tried to explain to you over the phone, my insurance requirements state that a qualified individual or company must inspect the automatic sprinkler system at least annually, and in accordance with local Fire Marshal requirements, to ensure the integrity of the system. That's it -- no mention of spare parts or emergency repairs for a two-sprinkler system. From what I understand, San Francisco follows NFPA 13 and NFPA 25, which require a spare sprinkler head box only when a system has more than 20 or up to 300 heads, depending on the standard. For systems under 300 heads, the requirement is typically a minimum of six spare heads -- and none of that applies to a system with just two sprinklers. I'm really disappointed that you tried to spin it this way and push unnecessary charges by misrepresenting what's actually required.

I requested a quote from yelp in no times Jose was responding back to me and asked me to send a few pictures of my hood. He gave me a quote and setup the service date.

When I showed up at my restaurant and saw the hood I was almost flipped out of how they did it. They cleaned my hood from all the way to the fan and cleaned all the grease out from the duct. My hood is looking like new again. Jose shows me the video of the job what they did. I am very happy with the job they done. I highly recommend to anyone who is looking for hood cleaning.

If you're smart, this is a company you'll avoid. Profiteers who have zero interest in customer service. At Hansen, I would take in my 5# CO2 tank, and five minutes later be driving home with a refilled tank at a cost of $10. Now that Automatic Fire has taken over, you drop off your tank and they tell you they'll call you when it's ready (a call they never make). Meaning: You've now got to make a second trip using your time and gas and you have to wait a day to get a tank refilled. For this outstanding service, they've cheerfully TRIPPLED the cost of getting a tank filled. They have one interest: Maximizing the amount of money they take from you while expending as little effort as possible.

I believe Hansen Fire still sells fire extinguishers, etc, out of the San Leandro site, but service is now run out of Walnut Creek by Automatic Fire Inc.

We ran into an unexpected surprise during a small home remodel in San Jose -- we were suddenly told we needed a new fire sprinkler system. After calling a couple of other sprinkler contractors, both told me I'd *have* to upgrade my water meter, which San Jose Water quoted at around $18,000. :O Then I found Bayview Fire and spoke with Edgar. I sent him our building plans, and he personally came out to the house to take a pressure reading off our hose bib. He double-checked everything with his Designer and confirmed they could make the new system work with our existing ¾" water meter. No upgrade needed- which saved us a huge amount right from the start. The design was turned around quickly and approved without issue. Edgar made sure to plan ahead, knowing our tight timeline, and even scheduled the inspection in advance so that once the work was done, we could immediately move forward. His attention to detail and sense of urgency made all the difference. The pricing was very fair -- especially considering the money he saved us, the speed of the job, and the professional service. Thanks to Edgar and his team, we were able to finalize the project and avoid further delays caused by an oversight in our architectural plans. I also own a few small commercial properties around Silicon Valley and have since started using Bayview Fire for all our sprinkler testing and inspections. Couldn't be happier. If you want honest, knowledgeable, and responsive service call Bayview Fire Protection. Edgar is the real deal!
