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.

He passed me off to Suzanne and Anthony. I called and emailed them and did t hear back for a week. This is to get scheduled for a basic inspection. It's insane to me the lack of basic customer service at these low level trade cos. I guess it goes to show there is a huge opportunity in the market and many kids should be getting into trades instead of studying art history at a liberal arts school. They can make a fortune doing a basic job like this place couldn't do.

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.

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.

Comcast has finally reached my area in Carroll County and I had set up an appointment for…read moreinstallation. It was very explicit during all conversations that an underground cable had to be run to my house from the box prior to in house installation. The tech arrives, about 15 minutes after I received a text he was on site, and proceeds to tell me he cannot do anything because the underground was not run. He said he'd have to put in a ticket for them to come out and run the underground wire and then reschedule the install. I thought they would run the underground wire and perform the install today. I took off work to be home and will have to do so again. Comcast customer service is currently stonewalling and giving me the run around about the whole issue. This is not a good start to their service. Seriously considering cancelling the order, I've gotten by without Comcast for years and can do so for a few more. I will update if they make it right.
