Experienced spontaneous, random smoke and fire detector alarms in a triple decker. Kind of a PITA. Checked premises and no source of smoke or fire. Alarms continued. Called Doug Sanford at Sanford Electric. He and his team arrived within two hours and they replaced all expired smoke and fire detectors with brand new detectors. Tested. All done to code within two hours from arrival. No-nonsense. Comprehensive. Professional. Courteous.
