FAQs
Why Is It Necessary to Clean a Vent Hood?
Regular vent hood cleaning is essential to prevent grease fires, maintain proper airflow, comply with fire codes (like NFPA 96), and extend the life of your exhaust system. It also improves kitchen hygiene and reduces odors.
How Often Should Commercial Vent Hoods Be Cleaned?
Most commercial kitchens should clean their vent hoods quarterly. However, kitchens with high-volume frying, broiling, or solid fuel cooking may require cleaning monthly. Lower-volume operations might be fine with biannual or even annual cleanings, depending on usage and local fire codes.
How Long Does Hood Cleaning Take?
The duration varies depending on system size, grease buildup, and number of hoods or fans, but typically ranges from 2 to 6 hours.
How Much Does Commercial Hood Cleaning Cost?
Costs vary based on system size, grease buildup, and location. For an accurate estimate, it's best to contact a reputable hood cleaning service for a personalized quote.
What Risks Come With Non-Regular Hood Cleaning?
Not cleaning hood systems regularly can lead to serious fire hazards, putting lives and property at risk. Built-up grease can cause fires, damage equipment, and reduce ventilation. It can also result in health code violations, fines, insurance issues, or even business shutdowns.
