Why Professional Kitchen Ventilation is Non-Negotiable
In a busy kitchen, even a minor ventilation issue can quickly become a safety concern. Without regular cleaning and maintenance, grease and smoke can accumulate in ducts and fans, creating serious fire hazards and putting your business at risk.
Staying proactive with regular commercial kitchen ventilation maintenance helps keep your restaurant compliant with health and fire codes. It also protects your staff from excess heat, smoke, and poor air quality that can affect comfort and performance. In addition, routine upkeep reduces strain on your HVAC system, improves efficiency, and helps your equipment last longer.
Professional installation and maintenance in accordance with the International Mechanical Code (IMC) ensures your system meets current ventilation, design, and performance standards for safe and efficient operation.
Our Kitchen Ventilation Service Process
A dependable process is key to keeping your kitchen safe and compliant. Here’s how our team handles every kitchen ventilation service from start to finish:
Inspection & Assessment
One of the most significant safety risks in any commercial kitchen is the potential for grease fires. When grease accumulates in the ventilation system, it becomes highly flammable. Regular cleaning removes flammable grease from hoods, ducts and fans.
Expert Repair or Service
When we discover worn components, fan issues, or duct damage, we make the necessary repairs right away.
Certification & Documentation
Once complete, we provide inspection documentation and compliance labeling so you can show your system meets safety requirements and be prepared for your next health or fire inspection.
Signs Your Kitchen Ventilation Needs Service
Even the best ventilation system needs attention from time to time. Watch for these warning signs that it’s time to schedule professional kitchen ventilation service:
- Grease Dripping from Hood or Ducts: Visible grease indicates buildup inside your exhaust system, a leading cause of kitchen fires and code violations.
- Weak Airflow or Excessive Kitchen Heat/Smoke: When airflow drops, your staff feels it first. Hot, smoky conditions point to blocked ducts, failing fans, or balance issues in the make-up air system.
- Unusual Noises from the Exhaust Fan: Grinding, rattling, or humming sounds suggest loose or damaged fan components that can compromise airflow and strain connected HVAC equipment.
- Noticeable Grease Buildup on Surfaces: Sticky film on walls or counters means your hood and filters aren’t capturing enough grease, signaling it’s time for deep cleaning.
- System Has Not Been Cleaned in 3-6 Months: Most commercial kitchens require cleaning every 3–6 months. If it’s been longer, schedule maintenance before problems escalate.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should my commercial kitchen hood be cleaned?
Most restaurants benefit from hood and exhaust cleaning every three to six months, depending on volume. High-heat or high-grease kitchens often require more frequent service to stay compliant and prevent fire hazards.
What are the NFPA 96 cleaning requirements for a high-volume restaurant?
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 96), high-volume operations should schedule commercial hood cleaning at least once every three months to maintain safe airflow and minimize grease buildup.
My exhaust fan is making a loud noise. Can you repair it?
Loud exhaust fans often mean parts are loose, motors are failing, or airflow is blocked. Our technicians diagnose and repair these issues quickly to restore quiet, efficient operation. If related kitchen equipment is also affected, our commercial kitchen equipment repair services can bring your system back to full reliability.
