Our orthodontic office has nothing but great respect and praise for this fantastic company. Their attention to detail and timely response to our concerns are the best. We not only use their security systems, but our fire systems are also integrated with their service, as well as our telephone system which their technician Mike S. is extremely knowlegeable about. He is a pleasure to work with. When we have a minor issue their response to a need for service is almost immediate. We highly recommend this great local company for all they do. Give them a call...you'll be very happy you did!

Another great experience with Westminster Fire Extinguisher Company. Barry came out and took care of all our emergency lights. We needed an electrician to finish the job. They came out immediately and took care of everything neatly and professionally. Thank you again Barry. Would highly recommend this company. Prompt and courteous service. Prices are very reasonable.

Mike came out today to service our fire extinguishers and emergency lights. He was very courteous and professional. He was on time, worked quickly, and he explained what was done. Would recommend this company and we are planning to continue to have them come out to handle the maintenance.
