Commercial Exhaust Hood Maintenance: 6 Essential Repairs
Running a commercial kitchen is a fast-paced operation requiring high attention to detail. Your exhaust hood system is a critical component that removes smoke, prevents grease buildup, and helps maintain a safe working environment. At Guardian Services, we use a comprehensive approach to cleaning and maintaining commercial kitchen exhaust systems to help you avoid safety hazards and health risks. In this article, we’ll review six maintenance items and repairs we can handle or help you avoid altogether.
1. Fan Belts & Fan Motor Replacement
The fan belt is an essential part of the exhaust system, helping to expel heat, smoke, and odors from your kitchen. They can wear down or break over time, but fortunately, we are certified to make repairs and replacements for any part of your system.
2. UV Replacement & Inspections
Your kitchen exhaust may have an ultraviolet system to help break down grease particles before they enter your ductwork. We can inspect your system and make any necessary replacements to help you maintain grease control.
3. Water Wash/Self Cleaning System Inspections
A water wash or self-cleaning system is designed to automatically clean the interior of the hood and ductwork to prevent grease buildup. A malfunction can result in a clog or incomplete cleaning cycle. Regular inspections will help ensure they are functioning properly.
4. Electrical Issues
When your exhaust system experiences electrical issues, you could be at risk for a power failure or even an electrical fire. We can inspect the components of your exhaust system and make necessary repairs to ensure safe operation.
5. Filtration Failures & Baffle Filter Replacement
The filters in your exhaust system play a crucial role in trapping grease and preventing it from entering the duct system. These filters can become clogged over time, reducing the airflow and performance. When the time comes, you can trust our trained professionals to replace your filters.
6. Science Fume Hood Inspections & Repairs
If you have to contend with chemical fumes, then your hood requires specialized attention. When the effectiveness of your science fume hood is diminished, or it breaks down completely, your facility is at risk for exposure to harmful chemicals. You’ll want to address any issues promptly.
