Jared's Licensed Electricians

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.

Installation costs vary widely: single appliance installation $300-$2,000 depending on complexity (simple drop-in vs. gas/electrical connections required); complete kitchen buildout $15,000-$75,000+. Costs include equipment setting, utility connections (gas, electric, water, drain), ventilation hookup, and commissioning. Always get installation quotes separate from equipment costs — some dealers include installation, others charge separately.

Commercial oven repair costs range from $200 to $2,000+ depending on the issue. Common repairs: igniter replacement $200-$400, thermostat or temperature probe $250-$500, gas valve replacement $350-$700, control board $600-$1,500, heating element (electric) $200-$600. Diagnostic fees of $100-$200 are typically applied to the repair total.
