The Importance of Regular Recharging

After every use, or when pressure levels drop, recharging your fire extinguishers is critical. Not only is it a legal requirement, but it ensures your business remains prepared for emergencies.

 

 

Benefits of Regular Fire Extinguisher Recharging

 

• ● Extend Equipment Lifespan: Recharging fire extinguishers regularly prevents the need for costly replacements.

 

• ● Ensure Compliance: Regular recharging keeps your fire safety equipment up to code with NFPA 10 and OSHA standards.

 

• ● Mitigate Fire Risks: Fully charged extinguishers reduce the risk of fire-related damage or injury in your facility.

 

 

Our Fire Extinguisher Recharging Process

Our experienced technicians handle the recharging and refilling process with precision and efficiency, ensuring that your fire extinguishers meet all safety and regulatory standards.

 

1. Discharge Verification: We first verify whether your fire extinguisher has been used or has lost pressure.

 

1. Pressure Release & Cylinder Inspection: If necessary, we release any remaining pressure and inspect the cylinder for damage or wear.

 

1. Extinguisher Refill: The extinguisher is refilled with the appropriate agent (water, foam, dry chemical, CO2) according to its type.

 

1. Recharging: The extinguisher is recharged to the correct pressure level.

 

1. Testing & Re-Tagging: Finally, we test the extinguisher to ensure proper functionality and update the service tag with the recharging date.

 

Our process guarantees that your extinguishers will be ready when you need them, protecting your employees, property, and assets.

 

 

Compliance & Safety First

Properly recharged fire extinguishers are essential for meeting NFPA 10 standards and keeping your business safe. If a fire extinguisher is discharged or found to be low on pressure during an inspection, it must be refilled immediately to ensure it is ready to protect your facility in case of fire.
