Fire extinguisher service, hood suppression inspections, and the documentation your fire marshal and insurance carrier want to see — for gas stations, restaurants, warehouses, and everything in between.
Every visit ends the same way: systems tested, tags current, and a written record in your hands. No missed dates, no surprises at inspection time.
Semi-annual inspection and service for wet-chemical hood systems.
Annual service for every extinguisher on the property — front counter to back warehouse.
Keep the whole hood system — not just the tank — inside code.
When a system dumps or an extinguisher is used, you can't operate until it's reset.
Fire code isn't a mystery; it's a calendar. These are the service intervals Texas businesses are held to — extinguishers apply everywhere; hood items apply wherever there's a cooking line. We track them so you don't have to.
| Item | Requirement | How often |
|---|---|---|
| Hood suppression system | Inspection, testing & service by a licensed company (NFPA 17A / UL 300) | Every 6 months |
| Fusible links | Replacement of all fusible links in the hood system | Annually |
| Fire extinguishers — visual check | Quick check that units are in place, charged, and unobstructed (your staff can do this) | Monthly |
| Fire extinguishers — inspection & tag | Maintenance and new tag by a licensed company (NFPA 10) | Annually |
| Extinguisher internal maintenance | Teardown maintenance for stored-pressure dry chemical units | Every 6 years |
| Hydrostatic testing | Pressure testing of the cylinder itself (interval varies by extinguisher type) | Every 5–12 years |
Intervals shown are the general NFPA standards adopted across Texas; your local fire marshal or insurance carrier may require more. We confirm the exact requirements for your property at your first visit.
Ace Fire and Safety was started by the partners behind The Ace Group, an independent insurance agency. We've spent years seeing what happens after commercial fires — the claims, the closures, the coverage disputes over a missing tag.
An out-of-date inspection tag can complicate a claim. Our documentation is built to satisfy the two people who can shut you down: your fire marshal and your insurer.
Every service visit produces a written record with photos — passed items, deficiencies, corrections. You get a copy; we keep a copy for whenever you're asked.
We're based in Stafford and only serve Greater Houston. When your semi-annual comes due, we call you — not the other way around.
Need help reviewing your property or liability coverage too? Our sister agency handles commercial insurance for businesses across Texas.
