About Exhaust Hood Cleaning

Commercial exhaust hood cleaning is not just a maintenance task — it's a fire safety and health code requirement. NFPA 96 mandates regular cleaning of exhaust hoods, filters, ductwork, and fans based on cooking volume. Our certified hood cleaning technicians provide thorough cleaning and inspection, leaving your ventilation system compliant and safe. Our service includes complete degreasing of the hood canopy, filters, ductwork, and exhaust fan. We document the cleaning with before and after photos and provide a compliance certificate for your health inspection records. We also inspect the system for damage or wear that could create fire hazards.

Exhaust Hood Cleaning FAQs

What is a CFESA-certified technician?
CFESA (Commercial Food Equipment Service Association) certification is the industry standard for commercial kitchen equipment technicians. Certified technicians have passed rigorous examinations on electrical, refrigeration, and gas systems. When you hire a CFESA-certified tech, you can trust they have the knowledge to properly diagnose and repair commercial kitchen equipment safely and effectively.
What should I do if I smell gas in my commercial kitchen?
1) Do NOT operate any electrical switches, phones inside, or create any sparks. 2) Evacuate all staff and customers immediately. 3) Call 911 from outside the building. 4) Call your gas company's emergency line. 5) Do NOT re-enter until emergency responders clear the building. 6) Contact a certified kitchen equipment technician to inspect and repair gas connections before reopening. Gas leaks can cause explosions — always take them seriously.
