Monthly inspections and annual certification from $50 a month per site. Or hand us the whole thing and stop owning extinguishers at all.
The difference is who owns the extinguishers — and therefore who pays when one is twelve years old, discharged, or fails a test.

The extinguishers are ours. If you cancel, we collect them and put them to work somewhere else — nothing to amortize, no reason to lock you in. Most of this trade sells three-year agreements because the equipment is yours and they need to recover it. Ours is not, so we do not. Prepaying is rewarded, not required. On Full Service, we schedule equipment pickup no sooner than 10 business days after you cancel, so your brackets are never left empty while you line up replacement coverage.
Cancel any time
A year costs 10 months
6 months of your monthly price pays for an annual certification. After that we simply do them — every year, at no extra charge, for as long as you are with us.
New accounts rarely arrive that way. Whoever held the contract before you almost certainly certified everything on one visit, so units turn up due next month with no months behind them to pay for it.
This only comes up on Inspect & Track, paid monthly. On Full Service the extinguishers are ours and start on our own schedule, so there is no backlog to take on — and paying annually funds the certifications outright. Either of those and there is nothing here to read.
We could cover that by charging everyone a higher monthly price forever. Instead we bridge just the gap — $5 per unit for each month your certification falls short of 6 — and then give every dollar of it back.
| Certification due | Bridged now | Credited back | Net cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| In 1 month | $25/unit | $5/unit for 5 months | $0 |
| In 2 months | $20/unit | $5/unit for 4 months | $0 |
| In 3 months | $15/unit | $5/unit for 3 months | $0 |
| In 4 months | $10/unit | $5/unit for 2 months | $0 |
| In 5 months | $5/unit | $5/unit for 1 month | $0 |
| In 6 months or later | Nothing | — | $0 |
What that looks like on 300 extinguishers
Every one of those 115 units earns its bridge back at $5 a month. The other 185 were never charged for.
Almost nobody can tell us how many extinguishers they own or when they are due. That is not a failing — it is what happens when the records live in someone else's van. So start with one month and find out.
One month at your normal rate. Nothing else, and no obligation after it.
Then you decide — including deciding against us
The survey is yours. If you want to stay with your current extinguisher company and just use the list to hold them to their dates, take it and do that. We would rather you had accurate records and went elsewhere than signed something neither of us could price properly. A quote built on a guess at your unit count is worth nothing to you and nothing to us.

Not needed — on Full Service the extinguishers are ours, so there is no certification backlog to take on.

Square footage is the number you know without looking it up. Unit count is the number that actually drives our time, so both are shown — and we confirm the count on a walk-through before you sign anything.

Anything not on this list — CO2, 20 lb, wheeled units — is quoted before we install it, never after.
NFPA 10 requires a documented monthly visual check of every extinguisher: gauge, pin, seal, obstruction, signage, physical damage. NFPA 10 places that duty on the owner or the owner's designee. We perform it as your designee and leave the record behind. It is a visual inspection only: no maintenance, repair, modification, testing, or cleaning. Responsibility for providing and maintaining code-required extinguishers stays with the owner or occupant.
Twelve-month maintenance and a fresh tag on every unit, performed by our licensed servicing partner and scheduled by us, so the one thing an inspector looks at first is current.
Scan any extinguisher and see its type, size, location, last inspection, next service due, 6-year maintenance and hydrostatic test dates. No binder to lose.
Every location in one dashboard, so a regional manager can see which sites are current and which are not without ringing round.
If you fry, you need a Class K extinguisher — and the hood system over your line does not substitute for it. Those are two separate requirements, and a surprising number of kitchens are carrying only one of them.
The fixed system over your line is designed to knock down a fire at the appliance. The Class K portable is the backup for what happens next — a flare-up after the system has discharged, and the whole period the system is offline for cleaning.
An inspector will look for both. Only one of them is on our program.

What we do not do
Hood suppression systems and hood and duct cleaning are separate licensed trades with their own factory authorizations, and we are not going to pretend otherwise to keep you on one invoice. Your hood system still needs a semi-annual inspection under NFPA 96, and your ducts still need cleaning on a schedule set by how much you cook. Ask us and we will tell you who we would call — no referral fee, no arrangement, just the name we would use ourselves.
An extinguisher that has gone away for annual service is an extinguisher that is not on your wall. Plenty of servicing companies leave the bracket bare and treat that as your problem. We do not.
When a unit comes down for certified service, a loaner of the same rating goes onto the bracket before we leave.
That is the usual turnaround for certified service. The loaner stays as long as it takes, so you are not counting days or chasing anyone.
Every unit is logged against its own serial number. Yours comes back to you, on the bracket it left. Nobody is handing you somebody else’s extinguisher and hoping you do not check.
And when one actually gets used
You get a new extinguisher on the spot, not your own one back weeks later. It comes from replacement stock we keep for exactly this: unused units under two years old with at least three years to their first hydrostatic test. Your discharged unit is recharged by our licensed servicing partner and joins the loaner pool, which is why the loaner that goes on your wall next year is a properly serviced, in-date extinguisher rather than whatever was left in the van. One replacement per site is included each year, on either plan, and the expended unit stays with us.
The monthly visual inspection and its documentation are our work. We perform it as your designee under NFPA 10, and we sign and date every record so an inspector can see who did it and when. It is exactly that: a visual inspection. We do not perform maintenance, repair, modification, testing, or cleaning on any extinguisher.
Certified annual maintenance, 6-year internal maintenance, hydrostatic testing and cylinder replacement are a licensed servicing trade. Those are performed by a licensed fire-equipment servicing company we contract and manage on your behalf — we schedule the work, handle the loaners, keep the serial-number records, and carry the cost inside your monthly rate. You are billed by us, at the price on this page, not by a subcontractor you never chose.
Plenty of companies would let you assume all of that was in-house. It is more useful to you to know exactly who is standing in your building and under whose license.
The extinguisher program stands alone — plenty of clients want exactly this and nothing else. It is also bundled into the monthly safety programs, where the same visit covers egress, eyewash stations, first aid, and general hazards.
Most buildings have more than the owner thinks, and a few have fewer than the code requires. Either way you should know before an inspector tells you. No charge, no obligation.
