Where is a good place to buy a fire extinguisher for your home?

Answer 1

Hi Danman!

Fire protection and fire extinguishers has been my line of work for nearly 20 years, so I feel I can give you some information here.

First, let me just say good job for deciding to purchase a fire extinguisher for your home. No home should be without smoke detectors or a fire extinguisher.

Your average store bought unit (Wal*Mart, Home Depot, Etc.) is typically not going to be the best quality. I'd recommend staying away from the cheap units with the plastic or nylon heads. The plastic unit's guages are often are "stuck" on full! They also may not be rechargeable.

Metal head units are far better and will last decades if cared for properly. I recommend Amerex, Ansul, or Badger brand units. First Alert private labels Ansul metal heads for resale in the discount chains. They aren't bad. Stay away from Kidde if the head is plastic.

Like Fordman said, look up 'fire extinguishers' in your yellow pages for a listing of sales and service centers. They will be able to sell you a better unit and will have all kinds of types and sizes to best suit your needs at home.

I guess it depends on what you want. You can get the little ones that are in home improvement stores or you can look in the yellow pages and call a fire extinguisher supplier and get the real ones. That's what I did, if I have a fire I want to be able to throw some serious retardant on it.

Answer 5

I just bought a first alert "tundra"extinquisher at wal mart. It is for in the car or near the kitchen stove. It is like an aresol can. Is supposed to be more effective than the 1 pound units that most people buy. Several smaller units located in statigic places around the house may be better than one big one. You may not always be able to get to the big one. These are for a fire that starts on the stove as an example and you can quickly put it out. Not to save the whole house once it is on fire. The one I just bought is as easy to use as a hairspray can. No mount bracket or pins to fuss with. Just point and shoot. Cost was $14.00

Answer 6

Home Depot, Walmart. Most hardware type stores will sell fire extinguishers.
