Helium

No matter what occasion you celebrate, helium-filled balloons can add a special element to it. Whether for business, retail, or personal use, Automatic Fire Control has a variety of options available to suit your needs.

Helium Cylinder Rentals

Automatic Fire Control provides 50 and 20 lb. helium rental cylinders. Companies such as restaurants, automobile car lots, party supply stores, pharmacies and more keep a Helium cylinder available for inflating balloons either for their own purposes or for selling inflated balloons.




Helium Cylinder Refills

Automatic Fire Control will come to your place of business and pick up the empty Helium rental tank and leave a full rental tank as needed. We can also provide a 20 lb. helium tank to customers for weekend parties and events. This size tank can be picked up at our facility.




Balloon Regulators

Automatic Fire Control recommends using balloon regulators with a gauge, so that overfilling of balloons does not occur.

We supply a balloon regulator with all of our cylinder rentals. We also sell regulators to the public.




Please observe the following safety precautions when handling high pressure helium cylinders.

  • Read, understand and observe the safety precautions on the cylinder neck label and the warning label on the side of the cylinder.
