Commercial Kitchen Hood Cleaning

Commercial kitchen hood systems are designed to capture airborne grease, smoke, heat, and odors produced during cooking. Over time, grease accumulates inside the hood, ducts, and exhaust fan. If not properly removed, this buildup can increase the risk of fire and reduce the effectiveness of your ventilation system.

Routine hood cleaning is not only important for maintaining a safe working environment, but it is also required by fire codes, including NFPA 96, which outlines national standards for ventilation control and fire protection of commercial cooking operations.

CrossAire performs thorough cleaning of all accessible components in accordance with NFPA 96 standards. This typically includes:

Interior surfaces of the hood canopy
Grease filters (removal and optional cleaning or replacement)
Accessible sections of horizontal and vertical ductwork
Exhaust fan blades and housing
Cleaning of rooftop fan area, including grease containment (if present)
Inspection of hinge kits and fan access components
Pre- and post-cleaning photos for documentation
A service report indicating cleaning scope and any observed deficiencies

With expert installation, compliance with local regulations is guaranteed, saving time and money in the long run. Trust in professionals to safeguard your investment and ensure optimal functionality for your kitchen's hoods system.

How often should I have my commercial kitchen hood cleaned?

According to NFPA 96 standards, the cleaning frequency depends on the type and volume of cooking. For example:

High-volume kitchens (24/7, wok cooking, frying): every 1 month
Moderate use: every 3 months
Low-volume kitchens (churches, seasonal use): every 6 to 12 months

We can help you determine the appropriate cleaning schedule based on your kitchen’s use.
