I bought an alarm from Apex. They sold the contract to SAI and then castlerock. By the time I figured it out they said it was too late to cancel the contract and automatically renewed it for another entire year in addition to the origial 3. It has never worked. I don't think its hooked up to the fire department like they said and I turned off my other smoke detector only to find that when my house filled with smoke the other day this one didn't go off at all.
At one point it started beeping incessantly because it had been installed incorrectly and the installer had cut through the cord that was supposed to be delivering power. They tried to charge me to come out and fix their mistake. They are scam artists of the nth degree and have been very unpleasant to deal with.
