Do you currently use a Halon 1301 fire suppression system to protect your New Jersey, Delaware or Philadelphia office building from fire? Halon 1301 gas is the most effective gaseous fire fighting agent available. Unfortunately, scientific evidence from the late 1980s determined that Halon 1301 is an ozone depleting substance, and in accordance with the Clean Air Act of 1994, no new Halon 1301 is being produced. However, it is legal to still own and operate a Halon 1301 fire suppression system if you already have one installed. If you want your Halon 1301 fire suppression system inspected, repaired, recharged or replaced, call Confires Fire Protection Services today.

Because Halon 1301 depletes the ozone layer, the EPA requires strict conformity with NFPA standards on Halon fire suppression systems inspection and maintenance. NFPA 12A standards require that all Halon fire suppression systems be thoroughly inspected, tested and documented for operation by a certified trained technician.

During inspection, the quantity of extinguishing agent and the pressure of refillable containers must be checked. If inspection shows at least a five percent loss in net weight or a 10 percent drop in pressure, the system must be refilled or replaced.

If you need repairs done on your existing Halon 1301 fire suppression system, call Confires Fire Protection Services. Our certified trained fire suppression system technicians can service and repair your Halon 1301 system to make sure your building is always kept safe from fire.

Even though no new Halon 1301 is being manufactured, there is still a large supply of existing recycled Halon 1301 that can be used to recharge your system in the event of a discharge. For all of your Halon fire suppression system recharge needs, call Confires Fire Protection Services today.

At this point, you are not legally required to remove your Halon 1301 fire suppression system from use. However, the EPA highly recommends doing so and replacing your system with a more environmentally friendly option.

Confires Fire Protection Services can remove your Halon 1301 system from your building and can recycle any remaining Halon you had on hand.
