Fire suppression system service requires specialized state licensing. We coordinate all fire suppression work through our network of licensed and certified partner technicians who are experts in Ansul and other commercial kitchen fire suppression systems. This ensures all work meets legal requirements and manufacturer specifications.
Why Fire Suppression Maintenance is Critical
Your commercial kitchen fire suppression system is your first line of defense against kitchen fires. However, like any safety equipment, it requires regular professional maintenance to ensure it will function properly in an emergency.
Most jurisdictions require semi-annual inspections of commercial kitchen fire suppression systems. These inspections verify that all components are in working order, the chemical agent is properly charged, and the system meets current fire codes.
Our licensed partner technicians are trained and certified to service all major brands of fire suppression systems, including Ansul, Pyro-Chem, and Kidde. They have the expertise and equipment to ensure your system is ready to protect your business, staff, and customers.
