I had a great experience with this company, super knowledgeable about everything I asked. I…read morehonestly had no idea what type of Fire Extinguishers I needed for my business and they answered. Came in, installed my new extinguishers and we were good to go. I will definitely be using them for my annual maintenance.

I dropped off my extinguisher 1.5 months ago for a recharge. I was quoted like $12-15. Don't…read moreremember but wasn't much. Guy said it only takes a few hours to do. Cool! I called multiple times for updates and was always told someone will call me back. Finally I called yesterday and asked for a final update and I will not wait for someone to call me back. Ive heard that already. So this guy found my extinguisher in the throw away pile. Charged me $22 and change. Well there was a testing charge, But oh well. Cash or check only. So I brought cash and he said he don't have change. (Never mentioned to bring exact cash over phone) So I just paid $25. With the time wasted and money I spent. I could have just bought another one and thrown that one away, or have it recycled. Was trying to do the responsible thing.

The service I received was very professional, and the staff was very friendly, knowledgeable, and…read moreexperienced. Surprisingly the service was relatively quick. I had two fire extinguishers serviced and purchased two.

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.

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. Didn't apologize for wasting everyone's time while we waited for the technician. We will never work with them again. Unbelievably unprofessional.

We hired Guardian to perform a sprinkler inspection on our property in NE DC - a 26 unit, two…read morebuilding condominium. 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.

It's a very successful family-owned company and the owner Gary is a super likeable older gentleman who has more experience and is more knowledgeable about alarm systems then anybody I've ever met and he always is very friendly and makes you feel like family. However, the heart of the company is Gary's wife, Carol. She basically "runs the office" and is beyond efficient and she gives you that feeling that she will go out of her way to make sure all of her customers are 100% satisfied and happy. I would have to say I would pay more for All Alarm rather than go to another company, but the good news is my All Alarm prices are now substantially lower compared to when we used to have the largest alarm company out there. So, I would 100% recommend that you work with All Alarm and save money and get to know Gary and Carol!!! As we used to say down south back in the day: "Gary and Carol are Good People!"

Can't say enough about the care and service that Carol and Gary give to their customers! They are…read morean AWESOME team and run a great business!
