Had asked San Jose Fire Protection for a quote on refill + certificate on one fire extinguisher…read more Quote was very promptly provided which was better than quote from big company.

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.

Nothing for a week until I started calling. Said they needed a note from fire permitting that I had to get. I went and got the note.

To my surprise, Aaron from FIRESHIELD replied almost immediately. By Saturday at noon, the job was already done.

The service was incredibly fast, and their communication was excellent throughout the entire process. I highly recommend FIRESHIELD for both business and home service. They got the job done quickly and professionally, and I'm very grateful to Aaron for making the process so easy. Thank you!

1-Star Review: Firemax…read more We hired Firemax to install a fire sprinkler system for a brand-new construction in our apartment unit. What should have taken just a few months stretched into two years of delays, constant mistakes, and endless frustration. Oscar, the owner, writes his own contracts without legal guidance, which led to repeated disputes. His team failed to finish the work multiple times, forcing us to hire additional workers to complete the job. He continuously referred us to friends who were not licensed for the work and then charged triple the fair market price. Almost everything ended up being "out of scope," which we were not told upfront. The situation got so bad that we had to hire an attorney and file complaints with CSLB just to get the issues addressed. The only reason we chose Firemax was because they submitted the lowest bid, and we deeply regret that decision. Save yourself the stress, expense, and legal trouble. We had a horrible experience and would not recommend this company to anyone.

It is not easy to find an indoor residential fire sprinkler repair technician for a house call on…read morethe Peninsula! So frustrating. I had a leaky sprinkler head (a slow drip) in the hallway at my house not long ago and I hoped to find someone within a day or two so I could avoid turning off the main water to the house. For the record, I did not use Lund Pearson McLaughlin because they do not do this type of residential work. I'm just giving 5 stars so I don't mess up their Yelp profile ;-) I'm posting this information in hopes that it will help others in my area. I spent a ton of time making calls. I ended up calling the company who installed the sprinkler system in my house: Advanced Automatic Sprinkler, San Ramon, CA - My house is 20 years old so it is not under warranty any more. They quoted me $85 per hour with a 4 hour minimum. They have a repair technician based right here on the Peninsula! He came over to my place in Redwood City just a few hours after I called thank goodness. Prior to calling them I called ALL the local fire sprinkler repair and fire protection numbers that I found on Yelp thinking I could find someone closer to Redwood City: Western States Fire Protection - They did not return my call. JR Wagner - They also did not call back. It looks like they only work in the east bay so they didn't return my call from Redwood City. Control Fire - Returned my call and the owner left a very nice message. Unfortunately they had no time to do a repair job for several days. I think they focus more on design and new installations rather than repairs. My Local Plumber - They are not licensed to do this work and are not allowed to work on indoor residential fire sprinklers. You need to have a special license. The plumber recommended calling the local fire department because they should have referrals. Fire Protection Services of Burlingame - They also don't do this type of work but the nice gentleman gave me leads and told me to look in the old fashioned yellow pages too. AAA Fire Protection Services - Peninsula based - He specializes in this work but he is expensive. He quoted me $750.00 plus materials for emergency service. I asked him what if he came sometime the next business day but he said it's still $750. (I only have one leaky sprinkler head, a slow drip and I put a bucket under it so I explained it's not super urgent and it could wait a day, but he said the price is the same. I decided to keep checking around.) Lund Pearson McLaughlin - They do not do this type of residential work because they don't deal with plastic pipes which most home fire sprinkler systems are made of. There are also a couple others in the yellow pages that I did not get to. There is another east bay company that does this kind of work. They are called Transbay Fire Protection, Inc. in Pleasanton. I didn't call them but they installed the fire sprinkler system at my neighbor's house and may have a repair technician. Other things I learned: - If the leak is really bad, you should turn off the main water of your house to prevent damage to your floors. The main water shut off is usually around the front of your house. It is not possible to shut off only the water to the sprinkler system. That is illegal for some unfortunate reason. You will need to shut off the entire house water until a technician comes out. - If you want the pressure out of the sprinkler system so the leak stops immediately after you turn off the main water, turn the handle at the sprinkler pressure gauge, usually in your garage, to open and drain. (However, once you turn off the main water there is less pressure anyway, so you may not need to do this.) If you want to, the handle should be turned to match parallel with the pipe. When the technician showed me, all the old water from the sprinklers drained our of a separate pipe near our main water shut off. I never knew what that pipe was for. Some of the water was rusty so the water was sitting in the sprinkler pipes for years. - The alarm to the fire sprinkler system will not sound if you turn off the water or release the pressure from the sprinkler system. I was worried about the alarm going off and waking my neighbors. No, don't worry about that. The alarm only makes sound if water is flowing into the house through the fire sprinklers and if it does not stop. That means there might be a fire in one of the rooms in the house, or a major leak. - Not all of the sprinklers in the house will turn on if there is a fire. Only individual sprinklers turn on where it senses fire. The fire sprinkler heads in my house were manufactured by a company called Central. Those sprinkler heads were recalled and the company is no longer in business. They were the white model with 3 small disks that stuck out in the center. I was told that the brass threads in them go bad. The technician installed a new sprinkler with a flat cover made by Tyco. It looks nicer and does not stick out as much. Hope that helps!
