Extinguisher Services

NFPA 10-compliant fire extinguisher inspection, recharging, and rebuilds — with mobile pickup and delivery service for Utah facilities.

Overview

We Come to You

Powered Control Systems provides comprehensive fire extinguisher inspection, maintenance, recharging, and rebuild services for commercial facilities across Utah — with a key differentiator: our mobile service team comes to your facility, picks up your extinguishers, services and certifies them at our shop, and returns them tagged and ready to hang.

For hotels with 200 extinguishers, hospitals with 400, or warehouses spread across 150,000 square feet, hauling your own extinguishers to a service shop isn't realistic. PCS's mobile pickup and delivery service eliminates that burden entirely — one call schedules your entire facility.

All PCS fire extinguisher services are performed to NFPA 10 standards, with certified technicians documenting every inspection and providing the service tags required for compliance. For property managers with multiple locations, we offer portfolio service agreements that put all your annual inspections on autopilot.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

NFPA 10 requires a monthly visual inspection (can be performed by building personnel), an annual professional inspection and certification, a 6-year internal maintenance inspection, and a 12-year hydrostatic pressure test for most extinguisher types. PCS handles the professional annual, 6-year, and 12-year services.

Every six years, portable fire extinguishers must be disassembled, the internal parts inspected, cleaned, and replaced as needed, and the extinguisher recharged. This is in addition to the annual inspection and is documented on a collar label attached to the extinguisher.

Hydrostatic testing (required at 12 years) verifies the structural integrity of the extinguisher cylinder by pressurizing it with water beyond its working pressure. It ensures the cylinder hasn't developed cracks, corrosion, or other damage that could cause it to fail under pressure. Cylinders that fail are removed from service.

Yes. PCS services, recharges, and certifies fire extinguishers regardless of the brand or who supplied them, as long as the unit is in serviceable condition.
