Fire Extinguisher Sales, Service & Inspection

With A1 Fire Protection Services, you will receive expert advice on the correct type of extinguisher for your safety needs, professional service and quality workmanship at a fair price. We follow National Fire Codes NFPA 10 for our service standard. With our service, a detailed maintenance record is provided for fire inspections, insurance audits, price estimates and individual record keeping. All testing is properly completed without cutting any corners and we guarantee our work. We offer mobile service at your location. 

The extinguisher is visually and functionally examined to be in proper working order (no rust, dents or other damages to the cylinder and all parts are in good operating condition) before a certification tag is applied. Our fire extinguishers are guaranteed to be in good condition and holding a full charge or we will reservice it free of charge. If the extinguisher does not pass our inspection due to damage, poor quality or is out of NFPA compliance, replacement will be recommended before certification can be completed.

The extinguisher is completely emptied of all chemical, the internal cylinder is checked for integrity and the o-ring, valve stem and pressure gauge is checked and replaced if needed. A dated collar ring is put in to place for verification of the 6 year service and cannot be changed unless the full breakdown has been done.

A1 Fire Protection Services uses a certified testing facility for all hydrostatic testing of fire extinguishers and kitchen suppression cylinder. The extinguisher (or cylinder) is emptied of all chemical, filled with water, then pressurized to manufacturer specifications and maintained for at least 30 seconds to test for operational integrity. The chamber is dried, refilled with chemical and recharged with pressure, following the same service standards as the 6 year breakdown.

UL listing – All fire extinguishers and systems sold or serviced by A1 Fire Protection Services must be UL listed by the latest government standards. Otherwise a fire extinguisher will be condemned and replaced with a new unit and a system will be condemned or “red-tagged” as non-compliant and will only be certified by A1 Fire Protection Services if updated or replaced with the current government UL listing standard.
