NEW YORK, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — RAEL Fire Protection, a fourth-generation family-owned fire protection company founded in 1933, and Approved Oil, a multi-generational family-owned provider of energy, plumbing, mechanical, and facility infrastructure services founded in 1932, today announced a strategic partnership designed to provide building owners, property managers, and facility operators with a more coordinated approach to maintaining critical building systems.
Together, the two family-owned organizations bring more than 180 years of combined experience serving the New York metropolitan area’s commercial real estate, multifamily, healthcare, hospitality, industrial, institutional, and retail markets. By combining complementary expertise, the companies aim to simplify facility management while helping customers improve operational efficiency, maintain regulatory compliance, and reduce service coordination challenges.

Their comprehensive service portfolio includes fire sprinkler systems, fire alarms & special hazard systems, kitchen fire suppression & hood cleaning services, as well as fire extinguisher sales/service. RAEL’s specialized technical expertise combined with their advanced field service capabilities provides clients with a trusted single source for fire protection compliance and life safety solutions ensuring critical systems perform when they are needed most.
Together, the organizations will offer customers a more seamless experience by improving coordination across critical building systems, reducing administrative complexity, and providing trusted service partners capable of supporting a wider range of facility needs.
“Building owners and facility managers face increasing demands to maintain compliance, manage risk, and keep their facilities operating without interruption,” said Oliver Israel, Vice President of Operations at RAEL Fire Protection. “By partnering with Approved Oil, we can better support our customers through coordinated service, complementary expertise, and a shared commitment to responsiveness and long-term relationships.”
