Known age and starting condition
New equipment begins with a clear age, condition and service-history baseline.
A Smarter Way to Replace Aging Fire Extinguishers
Instead of continuing to invest in aging ABC extinguishers, Inferno Fire Protection can provide a customized Trade-In Credit toward brand-new replacement equipment.
Start fresh with new equipment
Known age. Fresh history. A simpler path forward.
Before investing further in an older ABC fire extinguisher through servicing, recharging or hydrostatic testing, consider whether replacement through Inferno Fire Protection’s customized Trade-In Program may be a more practical and economical solution.
Brand-new extinguishers provide a known starting condition, manufacturer warranty and fresh equipment and service history. That reduces uncertainty associated with aging equipment and makes long-term planning easier.
Inferno Fire Protection applies an approved, customized Trade-In Credit directly to the customer’s invoice when eligible ABC extinguisher(s) are replaced with new equipment. Depending on the customer’s circumstances, the net replacement cost may be comparable to continuing to invest in aging equipment.
The Trade-In Credit is customized for each customer and is not a fixed-percentage discount. Replacement is not guaranteed to be less expensive in every circumstance, and Inferno Fire Protection does not publish the internal credit formula.
