Fire Suppressor Installation and Maintenance
What is a fire suppression system used for?
Fire suppression systems use agents other than water — such as clean agent, CO2, or wet chemical — to rapidly extinguish fires in spaces where water damage would be costly or where water alone isn't effective, like commercial kitchens, data centers, and electrical rooms.

Fire suppressors, also known as fire extinguishing systems, are crucial in rapidly suppressing fires, preventing extensive damage, and saving lives. As a company, we prioritize the safety of your property and its occupants, which is why we offer comprehensive fire suppressor installation and maintenance services.Fire Suppressor Installation
Our expert team specializes in the installation of various types of fire suppressors tailored to meet your property's specific needs:- Sprinkler Systems: Automatic fire sprinkler systems are the most common fire suppressors. They quickly detect and respond to fires by releasing water, controlling and extinguishing flames, and minimizing fire spread.
- Clean Agent Systems: Clean agent systems use environmentally-friendly agents, such as FM-200, Novec 1230, or CO2, to suppress fires without leaving harmful residue behind. These systems protect sensitive equipment, data centers, and valuable assets.
- Foam Systems: Foam fire suppressors are effective in extinguishing flammable liquid fires. They form a blanket of foam that suffocates the fire and prevents re-ignition.
- Specialized Systems: Depending on your property's unique requirements, we can design and install specialized fire suppressors, such as kitchen hood systems for commercial kitchens or industrial applications.

How often should a fire suppression system be inspected?+
Most fire suppression systems require a semi-annual inspection under NFPA 96 (for kitchen hood suppression) or the applicable standard for the agent type, in addition to annual maintenance and periodic recharge or cylinder testing depending on the system.
What's the difference between a suppression system and a sprinkler system?+
Sprinkler systems use water and are typically required throughout a building. Suppression systems use a targeted agent — like the wet chemical systems required over commercial kitchen cooking equipment — to protect a specific piece of equipment or hazard where water isn't the ideal extinguishing agent.
