When Do I Need to Recharge a Fire Extinguisher?

Fire extinguishers rely on a very simple yet very precise equilibrium in order to operate correctly. If the cylinder has been tampered with or damaged, if you have missed an inspection, or if the extinguisher was discharged for any reason, the situation must be addressed immediately to avoid a failure when you need the extinguisher.

Fire extinguishers should be professionally recharged under any of the following conditions:

  • Accidental discharge. If an extinguisher has been discharged at all, it must be recharged in order to be dependable. Any amount of chemical loss can impact an extinguisher’s function.
  • Extinguisher use. If an extinguisher is used to combat a fire, it should always be recharged before it is returned to its normal location for further use.
  • Periodic recharging is due. Even if an extinguisher hasn’t been used, it can lose charge over time. This process is exceptionally slow, meaning periodic recharge is only needed rarely. For most extinguisher types, scheduled recharge should take place every six years.
