Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning

With continued use, the exhaust hoods, ducts, and fans in your commercial kitchen collect grease that restricts air flow, reduces overall efficiency, and creates a dangerous fire hazard.
With our background in fire protection, we ensure the technicians cleaning your kitchen exhaust systems are trained to work with and around the fire system components, allowing them unobstructed access to clean your entire system.

With Academy Fire® as your partner, your kitchen exhaust system will be cleaned down to bare metal per NFPA-96. During a cleaning, the technician will use state-of-the-art hot water, high pressure washers with an FDA approved cleaning agent to remove grease and other fire hazards from your kitchen exhaust system.

Our objective is to eliminate your fire hazards, improve the efficiency of your ventilation system, and leave your kitchen looking brand new. You will not only avoid fires, but also fines from the fire department, city health inspector, and insurance claims resulting from under-cleaned cooking areas. Don’t be fooled, restaurant fires are extremely serious, let alone imminent, if your exhaust system has not been cleaned properly.

Academy Fire® has experience working in all kinds of environments, including healthcare facilities, hotel chains, and restaurant chains. If you have a kitchen exhaust system, Academy Fire® is the company you can trust to clean it.
