Commercial kitchens contain all the elements necessary for a fire. Grease and cooking oils provide the fuel. Oxygen is always available and heat can come from a variety of sources, ranging from an open cooking flame to electrical shorts. Fire can occur on cooking surfaces and in hard-to-reach areas like hoods, plenums, vents and ductwork. Routine hood cleaning is critical to reducing the potential and intensity of a fire. Our highly trained technicians can inspect and service all types of kitchen hood fire suppression systems. We can also provide training in the proper use and maintenance of your system so in a fire situation everyone will be prepared to respond appropriately

A commercial kitchen exhaust system is a MUST purchase for any commercial foodservice establishment. Not having the proper restaurant hood system and fire suppression system can not only cost your business expensive fines by the fire marshal, and sometimes even the closure of your business, but also create an unsafe environment for you, your employees and your customers. Since fires are caused by grease, every commercial kitchen needs a suppression system if you have gas OR electric equipment. Our trained hood system specialists will assist you in designing the best system to fit your needs. To give your commercial kitchen maximum protection we can customize a new hood system package with a make-up air fan, upblast exhaust fan, and a built-in fire suppression system.
