Most fire extinguishers found in homes are single-use types, meaning that they cannot be recharged after being used. They should be replaced according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Extinguishers should be checked annually (monthly in schools and businesses). Depending upon the type of extinguisher it will also need a test every 5 or 12 years to make sure the tank is still strong enough for the internal pressure, called a "hydrostatic test".
