Tampa Fire Extinguisher Service & Inspection
Florida-Licensed Inspection, Recharge & Hydrostatic Testing — 20 Min From Tampa
Specifically, Tampa businesses save hundreds of dollars every year by skipping the mobile service call and driving 20 minutes across the Howard Frankland Bridge to our St. Petersburg facility at 3200 62nd Ave N. No service call fee. No appointment needed. No technician showing up on someone else's schedule.
Additionally, Drive over, drop off your extinguishers, and we'll inspect, recharge, certify, and tag them while you wait — or swap them out on the spot with units of similar condition that fit the same bracket. Most visits take under 10 minutes. Inspection costs $8 to $15 per unit. Recharge starts at $25.
Furthermore, From Westshore office buildings and Channelside high-rises to Ybor City restaurants, South Tampa retail, Carrollwood property managers, and Port Tampa industrial facilities — Tampa businesses make the drive regularly because the math works. CO₂ refills, DOT hydrostatic testing, kitchen and paint booth suppression system service — everything is handled in-house at one Tampa-area facility.
Moreover, Call (813) 228-8283 — walk-ins welcome Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM.
Hydrostatic Testing & CO₂ Refills for Tampa Cylinders
Specifically, Every CO₂ fire extinguisher cylinder, beverage CO₂ tank, and compressed gas cylinder requires hydrostatic testing every 5 years under DOT regulations — and a cylinder past its test date cannot legally be refilled anywhere in the United States. Dry chemical extinguisher cylinders require testing every 12 years.
Additionally, Test markings stamped into the cylinder neck show the original manufacturer date, the most recent retest date, and the testing facility's identification stamp.
Furthermore, Serviced Fire Equipment is a DOT-authorized hydrostatic testing facility (RIN D133) performing all testing in-house using the water jacket method — no outsourcing, no shipping cylinders to a third-party lab.
Moreover, Our St. Petersburg facility is 20 minutes from Tampa via the Howard Frankland Bridge, and we test cylinders most local fire dealers send out to third parties.
Importantly, We test every common cylinder type Tampa businesses bring through our doors:
Fire Extinguisher Cylinders
In general, ABC dry chemical, CO₂, Class K, and clean agent — every common Tampa commercial extinguisher type. We test, refill, and tag in the same visit.
Beverage CO₂ Cylinders
For instance, For Ybor City bars, SoHo brewpubs, Channelside restaurants, and Tampa tap systems. Tested every 5 years — past that date, no fill station will refill them.
As a result, For Hillsborough County fire departments and industrial safety teams. Steel and aluminum every 5 years. Composite-wrapped 3HT every 5 years with a 15-year service life cap.
In addition, Tampa-area dive shops and individual divers. We are the DOT-authorized facility most Tampa Bay dive operations use for their customer cylinders.
Marine Suppression Cylinders
Notably, Fireboy, Sea-Fire, and Kidde engine room suppression tanks for Tampa Bay vessel operators on Davis Islands, Channelside, and the Riverwalk.
Industrial & Compressed Gas
Specifically, Nitrogen, argon, propane, oxygen, and specialty cylinders for Port Tampa industrial facilities. 38+ DOT specifications authorized.
Additionally, Same-Visit Workflow
Furthermore, Test, Stamp, Refill — All in One Stop
Moreover, If your cylinder is past its hydrostatic test date, we'll test it, stamp it with the new DOT requalification date, and refill it with CO₂ — same visit, no waiting on a third-party lab. Every passing cylinder receives full documentation.
Why Tampa Businesses Make the Trip Across the Bridge
Specifically, Our St. Petersburg facility at 3200 62nd Ave N is 20 minutes from Tampa via the Howard Frankland Bridge. Here's why businesses across Hillsborough County make that drive regularly instead of calling a mobile service company:
Save the Service Call Fee
Additionally, Mobile fire protection companies charge Tampa businesses $100 or more just to show up before touching a single extinguisher. Our walk-in model eliminates that fee entirely. For a Tampa restaurant inspecting 10 extinguishers, the drive pays for itself before we've touched the first unit.
No Appointment, No Scheduling Window
Furthermore, Pull up during business hours Monday through Friday and we'll take care of everything on the spot. No waiting on a four-hour service window. No coordinating building access for a technician. Drive over, we handle it, you're back across the bridge in under an hour.
Failed Unit? Walk Out With a Working One
Moreover, Discharged or failed extinguisher? We exchange it immediately with one of similar condition that fits the same bracket — fully charged, tagged, and certified. No extra trips, no leaving a gap in your fire protection, no second visit. One drive, compliant equipment.
Transparent
Pricing Up Front, No Surprises
Importantly, $8 to $15 per unit for annual inspection. Recharge starting at $25 for a 2.5 lb ABC unit. Class K kitchen recharge $195 including hydro if needed. CO₂ refills from $35. No hidden fees, no trip charges, no surprises.
Everything Done On-Site
In general, Inspection, recharge, hydrostatic testing, CO₂ refills, suppression system service — no outsourcing, no subcontractors, no delays from third-party facilities. Most Tampa fire equipment dealers ship hydro out. We do it on-site.
