A well-maintained kitchen experiences fewer emergency breakdowns, longer equipment lifespans, and lower total operating costs. Our certified technicians design and execute customized PM programs for restaurants, hotels, schools, and healthcare facilities.

Preventive Maintenance FAQs

What temperature should commercial refrigerators maintain?

Commercial refrigerators must maintain 40°F (4°C) or below for food safety compliance. Walk-in freezers should be at 0°F (-18°C) or below. Many food safety programs require refrigerators to run at 35-38°F for proper margin. If your unit struggles to maintain proper temperature, especially during busy service periods or in hot kitchen environments, call a technician — compressor capacity or refrigerant levels may be the issue.

What does an NFPA 96 compliant hood cleaning include?

A compliant hood cleaning includes: complete degreasing of the hood canopy, all grease filters, the entire ductwork system from hood to exhaust fan discharge, and the exhaust fan and housing. Areas that cannot be thoroughly cleaned must be documented. Cleaning must be performed by a qualified company and documented with service report and before/after photos. The technician should leave a dated sticker on the equipment and provide a compliance certificate.
