How often do my fire extinguishers need to be inspected?+
Portable extinguishers need a professional inspection once a year, plus a quick monthly visual check (the gauge is in the green, the pin and seal are intact). Stored-pressure dry chemical units also need 6-year maintenance and a 12-year hydrostatic test. We track those dates for you so nothing sneaks up.
What about emergency lights and exit signs?+
They get a full annual inspection, including a run-time test on battery power. Units that can't hold get a new battery or a replacement on the spot when we carry the part, which is most of the time.
What does an inspection cost?+
The annual fire protection service is $125 per site. Larger sites add a small per-device rate for extinguishers and emergency lights. Your exact price is confirmed before we start, never after.
I got a work order with a deadline. Can you meet it?+
Yes. Email the work order to us and we'll confirm a date before your due date. Head-office and fire department deadlines get priority on the schedule.
What do I get when you're done?+
A signed digital inspection report and the invoice, in your inbox before we leave the site. It lists every extinguisher and light by location, what we tested, and what we fixed. Keep it for your insurer and the fire inspector.
Do you remind us next year?+
We do. You'll hear from us ahead of your next annual so your certification never lapses.
