Aetna Fire Alarm Services Co Inc

Aetna Fire Alarm Services is a Dorchester-based commercial fire alarm and life-safety contractor that's been operating since 1974, now led by second-generation president Kathleen Guinee, whose father James Murrin founded the company. It holds an active Massachusetts electrical business license and is verified as a Women Business Enterprise by the state's Supplier Diversity Office. It designs, installs, tests, and services fire detection and alarm systems, emergency systems, sprinklers, and intrusion alarms for Boston-area businesses, backed by a DCAMM eligibility certificate and staff licensed through the state electricians' board and Boston's fire-prevention inspectional services. Its permit history shows real depth on the commercial side: BuildZoom records 45 permitted fire-alarm projects in Waltham, Brookline, and Framingham, putting the company in the top 13% of Massachusetts contractors it scores. A handful of older license numbers on file with BuildZoom have lapsed or gone unverified over the years, but the company's current electrical business license is independently verified active. There isn't much of a customer-review record to weigh — the one review on file, from December 2022, complained about a company work van driving recklessly and nearly running the reviewer off the road, which speaks to a driving incident rather than the quality of installed work. For commercial fire alarm and life-safety system work in the Boston area, Aetna has a long, well-documented institutional history; there's little here about residential jobs, so confirm scope directly if that's what's needed.
