Fire Extinguisher Service & Recharging NYC

A fire extinguisher that has been partially or fully discharged is not protecting anyone. It needs to be recharged — the chemical agent replaced, the cylinder re-pressurized, and the unit returned to full operational condition. NFPA 10 also mandates a complete internal examination and maintenance service every six years for stored-pressure dry chemical extinguishers, regardless of whether they have been used. If your building has extinguishers that were last serviced in 2019 or earlier, they are overdue.

Empire Fire Services handles every aspect of fire extinguisher servicing for NYC buildings. Our technicians perform dry chemical recharging, internal component inspection, O-ring and valve stem replacement, and full pressure testing. We service all common extinguisher types — ABC dry chemical, BC, CO2, water, and wet chemical units. Each serviced extinguisher is returned with a new service tag documenting the work performed and the next service due date.

For buildings that cannot afford to have extinguishers off-site, we provide loaner units during servicing. Your coverage is never interrupted. We pick up the units that need work, leave loaners in their place, and return your recharged and serviced extinguishers once the work is complete. For smaller jobs where recharging can be done on-site, our technicians bring the equipment to your building and complete the work same-day.

We coordinate recharging with our inspection service so you are not scheduling two separate visits. If our inspector identifies units that need recharging during an annual inspection, we flag them immediately and schedule the service — or handle it on the same visit when possible. One provider, no gaps in coverage, no surprises on your invoice.
