Restaurant Hood Cleaning & Duct Services
Restaurant Duct & Vent Hoods
Commercial kitchen exhausts and restaurant hoods provide a very important function. Exhaust hoods are installed over cooking areas to reduce steam, smoke, and odors in the kitchen. A fan draws the heat up through ductwork, and safely outside through a vent.
One area that is often overlooked when it comes to cleaning is the interior of the exhaust hoods over the ranges, fryers, and grills. While the visible exterior get scrubbed and shined up, the interior can be accumulating grease, gunk, and grime.
As important as it is for the outside of the exhaust hood to look nice and clean for inspections, keeping the inside clean is even more important for several reasons, including preventing fires!
the interior walls and mechanisms of the exhaust unit collect grease and debris over time, and require cleaning about four times a year in the average restaurant. Those that use solid fuels should be cleaned even more often.
According to the NFPA, “Since 1 in every 5 of the fires had a failure to clean as a factor contributing to its ignition, cleaning seems like an easy and obvious solution to mitigate fire risks.”
Ultimately, your local inspector will determine the frequency with which you have your kitchen exhaust hoods cleaned.
