I can't say enough good things about Aura Fire Safety and their customer service. 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 have worked for many companies and experienced many different personalities in management. My son works for FireShield and I never have heard more compliments about the owner of this company and how attentive he is to his employees and devoted he is to his clients. He takes the time to educate to make sure that his employees are able to do the best job possible. The company is straightforward, committed, and willing to do all things possible to provide the best service for their clients. As for their employees, they are required to provide professional, attentive, and knowledgeable service and all employees are required to wear uniforms which make them look very established. I give them five stars! read more

My extinguishers were due for service recently. Checked for fire safety companies on yelp, FIRESHIELD responded the quickest and scheduled an appt to service my 3 extinguishers. I am very busy - running a business in the San Francisco area leaves me little to no time to to check on my extinguisher annual inspection due dates. FIRESHIELD is great though, they will come to my location, they are mobile, prices are very reasonable and they place my business in a database, that's way they come out every year and take care of my extinguisher needs. They are just what I needed. I am confident I am in compliance and my business is safe. Thank you Aaron & FIRESHIELD TEAM! read more

What should have taken just a few months stretched into two years of delays, constant mistakes, and endless frustration.
