Is your commercial kitchen’s
Delivering great customer service to your patrons requires a kitchen that runs at peak performance. Professional exhaust fan repair and replacement services from SoCal Hoods ensure that your kitchen always has proper ventilation and remains compliant with fire code.
Common Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Fan Issues We Repair
Despite being relatively simple, kitchen exhaust fans can cause a number of problems in a kitchen. Here are some of the common ones we repair:
- Fan Not Turning On or Off: Problems with switches or electrical wires can prevent fans from coming on.
- Weak or No Airflow: Over time, vents can become blocked, fan blades damaged, and motor power degraded, weakening airflow.
- Loud or Unusual Noises: Normal wear and tear results in loose components or debris buildup that creates disruptive sounds in a ventilation system.
- Overheating Motor: Poor maintenance or electrical problems can damage the components in a fan motor.
- Loose or Damaged Belts: Aging drive belts reduce fan performance and eventually lead to system failure.
- Grease Buildup Affecting Performance: As grease accumulates, it restricts airflow and creates fire hazards.
Protect Your Business
An effective ventilation system will remove heat and smoke from a kitchen, creating comfortable working conditions for kitchen staff and allowing them to work more efficiently. However, if problems with your ventilation system get bad enough, the consequences can be far worse than customers waiting longer than needed due to an inefficient kitchen.
Why Exhaust Fan Functionality Is Critical to a Safe, Compliant Kitchen
Poor ventilation doesn’t allow smoke and other air contaminants to exit the building. At best, your staff will be uncomfortable due to poor air quality. At worst, the dirty air will make it to the dining room and impact customers.
NFPA and local fire codes require commercial kitchens to meet certain ventilation standards. Failure to maintain these systems can result in fines or even shutdowns after a health inspection.
If your ventilation system isn’t up to code and you avoid an inspection, you run a greater risk of a fire damaging your property and putting staff and patrons at risk.
