I did not see the technical staff from last year nor the office staff. I am please to say my comment from last year is still true today.

Got tuned into the need to check my fire extinguishers after lately seeing so many deaths and…read moredestruction by house fires in the news. Without an education about inspection or servicing my extinguishers, I just assumed the units would work when needed and I would know instinctively how to use them. So, 'attending to my home's extinguishers' never made it to my to-do list. After getting a brief education on youTube, I learned how critical fire extinguishers are to home safety. Since Fire Departments are so enthusiastic about smoke, carbon dioxide, and radon detectors, I was disappointed to learn that not only do they not execute recharging and inspections but the service rep had no referrals. Recommendations to homeowners regarding fire extinguisher protocols, inspection, and usage should rate the same attention as their smoke detector promotions. Workshops on when and how to use fire extinguishers should be standard in our schools, hospitals, airports, businesses, home owner insurer inspections, etc as well as part of our Fire Departments' community education programming, locally and nationwide. Think about the potential exposures to fire during and after impacts on structures by extreme weather events. Moreover, so many vehicles have recalls with warnings of spontaneous combustion while driving and/or when garaged. Even airplanes, electric vehicles, and electronic devices have increased instances of battery fires and explosions. Domestic airlines just established a mandate that all battery packs and battery-driven devices be displayed and NOT packed in cargo OR in overhead cabin luggage due to recent fires. Nonetheless, my online search turned up F&M FIRE PROTECTION with a five star rating for inspection and recharging fire extinguishers, among other services. This company should be on the Fire Department's resource list for local fire extinguisher services. Though I figured my units were too old to recharge, rather than default to an online purchase, my choice to visit in person was the right move. This location is a great value if you are in the market for fire extinguishers, inspection, and/or recharging. After shopping by browser, I found per unit rates to be same as online with the added value of receiving a full understanding of related data points you may not have considered. Though the building is tucked away in an industrial park, GPS can get you there without a hitch. Worth the side trip to be struck by the high-spirited, personable attention you get, delivered by a light-hearted team with a gallery of antiques on display.

After talking to plumbers, I was told to seek out a fire sprinkler company. Metropolitan Fire Protection was great from the get go on responsiveness, price and service. They promptly respond to emails. They explained their cost estimates and discussed permit requirements. They explained the process and answered all of my questions. Their repairman was quick in removing the firehead and installing a new one. They also charged a lot less than their estimate. There are not a lot of fire sprinkler companies that do residential work. I recommend them.

This morning was the FIFTH time in as many weeks they failed to show up for our scheduled sprinkler inspection. Didn't call to tell us they were not coming.

As a result of the findings of that inspection, we had them back again to perform some maintenance on the system. They were easy to deal with, honest, and performed high quality work. Getting sprinklers serviced is never something that is fun or exciting (unfortunately, it turned out that we needed to replace a number of sprinkler heads due to a recall), but the Guardian employees who came out on site helped me understand our sprinkler system, why certain services were needed, and what we need to consider for maintenance in the future.

He even gave me a script to avoid any pushback from the utility company - turns out it wasn't necessary, but it still was great to have in my back pocket. He was absolutely right, and his advice saved me the cost of having an electrician come out to diagnose it. I really appreciated him taking the time to help me over the phone and steering me toward the right solution. That kind of honesty and care builds trust and earns a loyal, long-term customer. Stella Electric will be my first call the next time I need electrical work. Thank you, Rich!

I have used this company for two clients of mine and do not recommend them. On both occasions they…read morehave left the job unfinished but still charged payment. In trying to rectify this with them they were extremely unhelpful and rude. The technicians themselves are always very kind and professional but aren't always able to handle the scope of the job and instead of saying anything they just leave the job unfinished. Also for future customers, I am not a customer of Stella. But they do make their customers sign a clause saying they won't complain or leave a review. If you leave a review they will text you and harass you on your personal time to take it down. So if this review disappears it's because even though I am not a customer the owner had his managers text me on my personal phone and threaten me.

This is because for years, the alarm goes off for no reason - several times a year. It fell to be to contact FIRELINE this time. They would not provide a window of time for the tech to arrive. So I was at lunch at Belvedere when they called to say "We're here at the church!" They sent 2 technicians when one would suffice. I asked how much it was going to cost. They had no idea. They said: "It's a 2 hour minimum service charge." So it was, 2 hours for 2 men when they were there all of 45 minutes. That's $195 per hour per man = $780 and they threw in an $80 charge for travel! They blamed the recurring problem on the VERIZON phone connection but VERIZON says there doesn't appear to be a problem. Oh, and a week later, the alarm was going off again...
