What service am I talking about? –Kitchen hood exhaust cleaning– Having your kitchen hood system properly cleaned and serviced according to the NFPA #96 standards is essential for

* Maintaining proper airflow in your kitchen
* Keeping the fire marshal off your back
* Staying compliant with local fire codes
* Providing a safe working and dining environment for your employees and patrons.
* Reducing the possibility of a devastating fire spreading through duct work and onto the roof.

Hood Cleaning (or hood vent cleaning) should be done by a “properly trained, qualified, and certified company” according to NFPA #96 guidelines 8-3.1. Some restaurant owners like to go with the lowest bid in an attempt to save money.

Usually what happens is the cleaning contractor will only clean what is easily seen or reached from the ground. This is NOT acceptable! The grease will collect and become an extreme fire danger. It will also restrict the flow of air and reduce the efficiency of your exhaust system, costing you money.

By the time you hire a reputable hood cleaning company, they are going to charge you more money due to the major build up of grease that has to be removed. So, my advice would be to hire a kitchen exhaust cleaning company that will clean your entire system from top to bottom the first time and every other time.

There is a list of restaurant exhaust hood cleaning companies that will clean your vent hood system from top to bottom every time at www.thegreasepolice.org

It will save you money in the long run. It will save you headaches from hassling with fire marshals, health inspectors and insurance companies. Check their work after they have cleaned, or ask for pictures to hold them accountable. Restaurant fires are serious business, and they are a very real threat if your kitchen exhaust system has not been cleaned properly.

Maybe it is because the kitchen lacks make up air. Make up air is the air needed to replace the air being pulled out of your restaurant kitchen by your exhaust fan. Without it your fan motor is overworked and you have poor kitchen air conditions.

ideal kitchen exhaust system setup

The system above has an exhaust fan pulling the air out of the kitchen at the same time the cooler is replacing it with fresh air. This set up not only allows air to be pulled out by the exhaust fan but actually helps PUSH the air out. The two fans (the cooler fan and exhaust fan) work together to produce the best condition for the kitchen air and the least strain on fan motors, keeping costly repairs to a minimum.

inefficient kitchen exhaust system setup

This second set up works but is inefficient. There is no air being pushed in to the kitchen, it is only drawn in by the fan, which makes your fan work twice as hard, and will not cool your kitchen the way it should.

wrong kitchen exhaust system setup

This third setup will is almost useless. No make up air being drawn in to the kitchen at all, and the fan working very hard to get any hot air out of the kitchen at all.

In order to have a cooler kitchen, you must have the same amount of air being pushed in by a swamp cooler as you have being pulled out by your exhaust fan. Once your restaurant kitchen set up this way, you will notice a much nicer environment to work in, and your chefs and kitchen staff will be much happier and more productive.
