Fire extinguisher inspection and recharge that's ready when you grab it.
In the seconds a small fire is still small, the last thing you want is an extinguisher that won’t fire.
Acom inspects, services, and recharges your fire extinguishers to NFPA 10, tags each one, and keeps the right type in the right place — so every unit is charged, accessible, and ready the moment someone needs it.
I’ve been with Acom for many years. They come quickly to take care of any issue, the technicians are proficient, and service calls are usually scheduled within a couple of days.
The needle is in the green. That is not the same as a working extinguisher.
A gauge measures pressure. Dry chemical caked solid at the bottom of the cylinder reads full every time.
When did anyone last lift one of your extinguishers off the wall?
An annual service means the unit comes down, gets weighed, and gets inspected inside.
An extinguisher is the one piece of fire equipment your own staff will have to use. It should work the first time.
Your service visit, start to finish
The same three steps Acom runs on every system we protect, written for what actually happens on an extinguisher service.
We inventory what you have and where.
Type, size, location, hydro date, and whether each unit even matches the hazard it is sitting next to.
We service every unit, and recharge what needs it.
Down off the wall, weighed, inspected inside and out, then recharged or replaced. Hydrostatic testing handled when the date comes due.
We tag, document, and schedule.
Every unit tagged and recorded, documentation you can hand the fire marshal, and your next service already on our calendar.
What we check and service
NFPA 10 sets what every extinguisher needs and when, from a quick monthly check to a full recharge. Here’s what our service covers.
Annual Inspection & Tag
We perform the required annual service on each unit and apply a dated tag the fire marshal can verify.
Recharge & Refill
We recharge units that are low, used, or out of date so every extinguisher is at full, ready pressure.
Hydrostatic Testing
On NFPA 10’s multi-year cycle, we pressure-test cylinders to confirm they’re safe to keep in service.
Right Class & Placement
We confirm each unit is the correct class for its hazard and mounted where code requires it to be.
New Units & Replacement
We supply, mount, and sign-post new extinguishers, and replace any that are damaged or beyond service life.
Documentation & Reporting
You get a complete, dated NFPA 10 report and tags that satisfy the fire marshal and prove every unit was serviced.
How a thorough inspection works
NFPA 10 sets the schedule and the scope for portable extinguishers — a monthly quick-check, a thorough annual service, and periodic recharge and hydrostatic testing. It’s not a glance and a new tag. A real service confirms each unit will actually fire, and produces records that hold up with the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ). Here is how Acom runs it from arrival to report.
Inventory & records review
We log every extinguisher, its type and location, and the service history so we know what’s due under NFPA 10.
Visual & condition check
We inspect each unit for pressure, damage, corrosion, seals, hoses, and a clear, accessible mounting location.
Annual service & recharge
We perform the full annual service and recharge any unit that’s low, used, or out of date back to ready pressure.
Hydrostatic testing
On NFPA 10’s multi-year cycle, we pressure-test or replace cylinders so none stays in service past its safe life.
Class & placement correction
We confirm the right extinguisher class for each hazard and correct mounting, signage, and travel-distance gaps.
Tagging, documentation & scheduling
We tag each unit, deliver an AHJ-ready report, and set your next service so you never miss a required interval.
From a single storefront to a multi-building enterprise campus, Acom services every extinguisher to the same code discipline — and keeps the documentation that proves it.
Questions business owners ask us
NFPA 10 requires a quick visual check monthly and a thorough professional service annually, with recharge as needed and hydrostatic testing on a multi-year cycle. We handle the annual service and testing and can guide your staff on the monthly checks.
An inspection confirms the unit is present, charged, and undamaged. A recharge refills an extinguisher that’s been used, has lost pressure, or is due — restoring it to full, ready condition. We do both as your units require.
Different fires need different agents — a kitchen, a server room, and a warehouse each call for a specific class. We confirm every unit matches the hazard it protects and is mounted within the travel distance code requires.
Hydrostatic testing pressure-tests the cylinder to make sure it’s still safe to hold its charge. NFPA 10 requires it on a multi-year cycle that varies by extinguisher type. We track each unit’s date and test or replace it before it’s due.
Yes. We tag each serviced unit and provide a dated NFPA 10 report that meets your authority having jurisdiction’s requirements — the record you need to show every extinguisher is in compliance.
Yes. We service most commercial extinguishers regardless of where they came from, and we can supply and mount new units where you’re short or need a different class. We’ll take over the whole schedule from your current provider.
An expired tag is an easy citation for an inspector and can affect your insurance or certificate of occupancy. We put your units on a tracked schedule and remind you ahead of each due date so nothing lapses.
Make sure every extinguisher is ready
Schedule an extinguisher service. We’ll inspect, recharge, and tag every unit to NFPA 10, confirm the right class is in the right place, and keep you compliant and inspection-ready.
