Key Takeaways:
A fire extinguisher is a single-use device until it is recharged. Even a 2-second test discharge depressurizes the cylinder and renders it non-functional. CrowdControl.ca coordinates recharge service through ULC-listed service shops with CFAA-registered technicians — your unit returns fully pressurized, internally inspected, and freshly tagged, with a documented chain of custody for insurers and AHJs.

| Condition | Action | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Discharged, body intact, under 12 years old | Recharge | 30–60% of replacement cost; full lifespan retained |
| Body damaged, dented, or corroded | Replace | Hydrostatic test will likely fail; recharge wastes labour |
| Older than 12 years, never hydro-tested | Replace | Hydro test cost approaches new-unit cost |
| K-class with wet chemical past 6-year window | Replace or full internal maintenance | Wet chemical degrades; may not extinguish kitchen fire |
| Halon (any age) | Replace with halotron or clean agent | Halon production banned under Montreal Protocol; recharge supply limited |
