Why Proper Hood Installation Matters
Fire Safety & Code Compliance — A correctly installed hood system, with ductwork and make-up air balancing, helps protect your property and ensures compliance with fire codes.
Health Department Requirements — Proper grease extraction and exhaust prevent buildup of contaminants and satisfy health inspections.
Air Quality & Comfort — Efficient hood and exhaust ventilation improves airflow, removes smoke, steam, and odors, and helps maintain comfortable working conditions.
Equipment Protection — Prevents grease accumulation on walls, ceilings, ductwork, and HVAC systems, which can degrade components over time.
