Replace Recharge Dispose Inspect Fire Extinguisher Service NYC? Crucial for compliance with NYC fire codes and ensuring your business remains safe.
When to Replace a Fire Extinguisher A fire extinguisher should be replaced immediately if there are visible signs of damage, such as rust, corrosion, or a broken handle. Additionally, any unit that fails an annual inspection must be replaced. At Master Fire, we offer certified inspections to ensure your extinguishers meet NYC fire safety requirements.
Most manufacturers recommend replacing fire extinguishers every 10-12 years, even if they appear functional. In some cases, a discharged extinguisher may need replacement if recharging isn’t practical or cost-effective. If you’re unsure about the age or condition of your fire extinguishers, we can help you determine whether a replacement is necessary.
When to Recharge a Fire Extinguisher If your fire extinguisher has been used, even slightly, it must be recharged immediately. Loss of pressure or partial discharge can render the unit ineffective in an emergency. Routine maintenance checks may also reveal the need for recharging due to pressure loss or minor damage. At Master Fire, our licensed technicians provide prompt recharging services to keep your equipment ready for use.
When to Dispose of a Fire Extinguisher Fire extinguishers that are beyond repair, more than 12 years old, or have been recalled should be properly disposed of. NYC regulations prohibit throwing extinguishers in regular trash bins due to the chemicals they contain. Master Fire offers safe and environmentally friendly disposal services, ensuring compliance with city guidelines and reducing environmental hazards.
