Introduction
Protect your business, your staff, and your customers with professional kitchen exhaust system maintenance. If your business operates a commercial kitchen—whether it’s a restaurant, hospital, school, or senior living facility—routine kitchen exhaust cleaning is not just a best practice. It's a fire safety requirement. At Commercial Fire, we specialize in NFPA-compliant exhaust system cleaning that protects your people, your property, and your reputation.
Why Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning Matters
Grease buildup inside hoods, ducts, and fans is a leading cause of commercial kitchen fires. These flammable residues can ignite in seconds, spreading quickly through the exhaust system and beyond.
Proper cleaning helps to:
• ✅ Reduce Fire Hazards: Removing grease buildup minimizes the risk of ignition.
• ✅ Maintain Code Compliance: We follow NFPA 96 standards, ensuring your facility passes inspections and avoids fines.
• ✅ Improve Air Quality & Efficiency: Clean systems perform better and reduce strain on HVAC and kitchen staff.
• ✅ Extend Equipment Lifespan: Regular service helps prevent premature wear and corrosion of exhaust components.
How Often Should Exhaust Systems Be Cleaned?
The frequency of cleaning depends on your kitchen's volume and type of cooking:
• High-volume kitchens (24/7 or fry-heavy): Monthly
• Moderate-volume kitchens (standard restaurant use): Quarterly
• Low-volume kitchens (seasonal or light cooking): Semi-annually to annually
Our team will help determine the right schedule for your facility and provide digital reports and service records to meet insurance and regulatory requirements.
