When to Repair Your Fire Extinguishers

Frequently Asked Questions About Fire Extinguisher Service & Repair

What Are the Different Classes of Fire Extinguishers?

There are six different classes of fire extinguishers. Class A fires involve wood, paper, and textiles. Class B covers fuel fires, such as gasoline, diesel fuel, and oil. Class C extinguishers protect against gases. Class D protects against potassium, magnesium, and other metal fires. Class E protects against electrical fires, and Class F addresses cooking oils. Each type of fire extinguisher uses different chemicals based on the type of threat.

How Often Should Fire Extinguishers Undergo Service?

It is advisable to inspect and test your fire extinguishers every year. This should be performed by a certified professional. This helps detect leaks and any damaged components that could impede operation in an emergency.

Why Do Fire Extinguishers Expire?

Fire extinguishers can expire for any number of reasons. Over time, the seal on the neck of the device can weaken and become susceptible to leaks. Once pressure is lost, the device becomes useless and must be professionally repaired or replaced.

How Often Do CO2 Fire Extinguishers Need Inspecting and Refilled?

CO2 extinguishers should be inspected monthly and require refilling every ten years. The process is similar to refilling other extinguishers. During the refill procedure, the body will be hydrostatically tested. This determines whether any bulges, stretches, or cracks are present that compromise the device’s integrity.

Can All Fire Extinguishers Be Repaired?

No, some fire extinguishers cannot be repaired. When we receive your fire extinguisher for repairs, we will let you know whether it can be repaired or requires replacement.
