Part of our complete Sunshine Coast fire protection services — also: extinguisher testing · maintenance · refill & swap-out · exit light testing
Sunshine Coast businesses must have fire extinguishers serviced every 6 months by law.
Under AS 1851 and Queensland’s Building Fire Safety Regulation 2008, all commercial fire extinguishers must be inspected and serviced by a licensed technician every six months. Skipping a service risks fines, failed audits, and voided insurance.
What Fire Extinguisher Servicing Includes
Our licensed technicians do the full job on-site — not just a quick visual check. Every service is carried out to AS 1851 standard and documented in a compliance report.
Full AS 1851 Inspection
Pressure gauge check, safety pin and seal inspection, hose and nozzle condition, location and mounting — all inspected to standard.
Discharged Unit Swap-Out
If an extinguisher has been used between services, we swap it out on the spot — a fully charged replacement unit in, old unit removed. Same swap-and-go process as the 5-year service. No waiting, no off-site trips.
Tagging & Certification
Each extinguisher is tagged with the service date, technician ID, and previous service history — compliant with Queensland requirements.
Compliance Report
A clear, dated compliance report is issued after every service — ready for your records, body corporate, insurer, or fire audit.
Replacement & Installation
Need a replacement or an additional extinguisher? We can supply, install, and certify the right type and size for your building during the same visit.
Free 6-Monthly Reminders
We log your next service date and contact you when it’s due. No paperwork to chase, no lapsed compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between fire extinguisher testing and servicing?
Testing checks whether your extinguisher is in working order — pressure, condition, and safety mechanism. Servicing is the full maintenance process: inspection, pressure testing, recharging the suppressant agent where needed, replacing seals or components, tagging, and issuing a compliance report. Under AS 1851, what’s required every 6 months is a full service — not just a visual check.
How often do fire extinguishers need to be serviced on the Sunshine Coast?
Every 6 months under AS 1851. At the 5-year manufacture date mark, AS 1851 requires each extinguisher to be pressure tested or replaced — EFP handles this with swap and go: ABE units replaced with new, CO2 units swapped for a factory pressure-tested equivalent. We track your schedule and remind you — so you don’t have to.
What happens if an extinguisher has been used or discharged?
We swap it out on the spot — a fully charged replacement unit goes in and the old unit is removed. It’s the same swap-and-go process we use at the 5-year mark, so there’s no waiting and no off-site trips.
How long does a fire extinguisher service take?
For most Sunshine Coast businesses with 5–10 extinguishers, we’re typically done in under an hour. We work around your business hours to minimise disruption.
What happens if an extinguisher fails the service?
We’ll tell you on the spot and advise the best fix — whether that’s a swap-out, part replacement, or new installation. In most cases we resolve it during the same visit. If a replacement extinguisher is needed, we supply and install to AS 1851 standard.
