Frequently Asked Questions
What does an NFPA 96 compliant hood cleaning include?
A compliant hood cleaning includes: complete degreasing of the hood canopy, all grease filters, the entire ductwork system from hood to exhaust fan discharge, and the exhaust fan and housing. Areas that cannot be thoroughly cleaned must be documented. Cleaning must be performed by a qualified company and documented with service report and before/after photos. The technician should leave a dated sticker on the equipment and provide a compliance certificate.
How often should commercial kitchen equipment be serviced?
Preventive maintenance frequency depends on the equipment and usage volume. As a general guideline: fryers and ovens should be inspected every 3-6 months; refrigeration equipment annually or semi-annually; ice machines every 6 months (including cleaning and sanitizing); exhaust hoods quarterly to semi-annually per NFPA 96; and dishwashers quarterly. High-volume operations benefit from more frequent service intervals.
How much does emergency commercial kitchen equipment repair cost?
Emergency repair typically costs 1.5-2.5x normal rates. After-hours service calls usually run $150-$300 for the diagnostic fee, plus parts and labor. Weekend and holiday rates can be higher. However, the cost of downtime — lost revenue, food waste, and staff idle time — almost always exceeds the emergency service premium. Most providers charge $100-$200 diagnostic fees that apply to the total repair.
