Commercial Las Vegas, Nevada are bustling hubs of culinary activity where delicious dishes are prepared to satisfy customers’ cravings. Unfortunately, this high-energy environment can be a fire hazard, and the exhaust hood system is a primary fire risk. Regular and thorough cleaning of hoods, ducts and fans can help prevent fires while also improving ventilation and contributing to better air quality.

Fire Prevention

The main reason to clean your restaurant hood and exhaust system is to prevent grease-fueled fires. Over time, vaporized grease solidifies inside of the hood, ductwork and fan, creating an unsafe fire hazard. Regular cleaning eliminates these flammable deposits, dramatically reducing the risk of a kitchen fire.

Optimal Equipment Performance

A clogged vent hood can restrict airflow and reduce the efficiency of your cooking equipment. Regular cleanings keep your kitchen hood and exhaust system clog-free, ensuring optimal cooking performance and improving ventilation in the work area.

Improved Air Quality

A dirty vent hood can recirculate smoke, fumes and airborne contaminants throughout the kitchen, negatively affecting staff comfort and health. Regular cleanings ensure that air is properly vented outside, minimizing the effects on your employees’ health and your customers’ satisfaction.

A well-maintained hood can help your restaurant maintain compliance with local fire codes and regulations. A faulty or unclean hood can lead to costly fines and possible shutdowns, so it’s important to hire a professional that’s IKECA-certified to perform NFPA 96 inspections and cleanings. Thousands of restaurants in NYC, New Jersey and Nassau County rely on Done Right Hood & Fire Safety to inspect, clean and service their kitchen exhaust systems.

Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning is a mechanical fan that hangs above a stove to remove airborne grease, combustion products, fumes, smoke, heat and steam. It also filters odors and may be equipped with a fire suppression system to protect the building from grease fires. A vent hood can be vented to the outside or to a duct, or it can use a recirculation system (which recycles air into the kitchen).

Ventilation hoods can be categorized in terms of size, power and style. The best vent hood for your restaurant will depend on your specific needs and the design of your cooking space.

Common Types of Exhaust Hoods: Which One Do You Have?

There are two main types of ventilation hoods: Type I and Type II. Both can be used with non-grease-producing appliances to exhaust steam, heat and odors. Type II hoods are often used for pizza ovens, for example.

A vent hood has three basic parts: the filter, blower, and ductwork. The filter traps grease and other contaminants before they reach the blower, which moves the contaminants through a duct. The ductwork directs the air to an exhaust outlet, which is often connected to the building’s heating and cooling system.

Most commercial vent hoods require a make-up air supply system to replace the exhaust air that is exhausted from the hood. The makeup air is usually a combination of 100% outside, filtered and/or untreated indoor air, heated or cooled, or recirculated kitchen air with a charcoal filter.
