How often should fire extinguishers be serviced?
Fire extinguishers should be serviced annually by a qualified technician. Regular maintenance ensures that extinguishers are in good working condition and comply with safety standards. Additionally, a basic monthly check by the property owner or manager is recommended to ensure that extinguishers are accessible, properly charged, and free from damage.
Can I refill or recharge a fire extinguisher myself?
No, fire extinguishers should only be refilled or recharged by certified professionals. Improper refilling or recharging can lead to malfunction during an emergency, which can be dangerous. Our trained technicians provide professional refilling and recharging services to ensure that your fire extinguishers are safe and ready for use.
Do fire extinguishers expire?
Yes, fire extinguishers have a limited lifespan and can expire. The typical lifespan of a fire extinguisher is between 5 to 10 years, depending on the type and manufacturer. It’s important to check the expiration date on your extinguisher and replace it as needed. Regular maintenance checks also help in identifying when an extinguisher needs to be replaced.
Do new fire extinguishers need commissioning once i have purchased them?
Yes! Fire Extinguishers cannot just be purchased and left in a position, where you HOPE that they will operate when required! We get told this all the time by customers and when we explain this, the penny drops. Please do not leave it by chance, contact us if you have purchased an extinguisher online or from a shop, they have to be commissioned in situ.
