Professional Regular Extinguisher Maintenance

Getting your fire extinguisher serviced every year is essential for ensuring it works effectively in an emergency. Here are a few key reasons why regular servicing is important:

1. Proper Functioning: Over time, fire extinguishers can lose pressure or experience other mechanical failures. Annual servicing ensures the pressure gauge is in the correct range, and the extinguisher is fully charged and ready to use.

2. Damage or Wear: Fire extinguishers may be exposed to environmental factors like temperature changes or physical damage. Routine checks help detect any corrosion, leaks, or other issues that might prevent the extinguisher from working.

3. Compliance: Many local regulations or workplace safety codes require annual inspections and servicing of fire extinguishers to ensure safety standards are met. Failing to service them may lead to fines or legal consequences.

4. Maintaining Expiry: Some fire extinguishers have a shelf life or expiration date. Regular servicing helps ensure that your extinguisher isn’t past its expiration date and that any parts, such as seals, are still in good condition.

5. Peace of Mind: Knowing your fire extinguisher is in good working condition can give you peace of mind, knowing that you have a reliable tool in case of a fire emergency.

Overall, regular servicing is a proactive way to ensure your fire extinguisher remains effective when you need it most.
