NFPA 96 standards require cleaning based on your cooking volume. High-volume kitchens need monthly cleaning, medium-volume quarterly, and low-volume semi-annually. Northern Hood and Exhaust assesses your kitchen during a free inspection to recommend the right schedule for your operation.
Grease builds up inside ducts and filters, increasing fire risk significantly. You'll also face Alberta Health Service violations, higher insurance premiums, and potential equipment failure. One missed cleaning can cost thousands in fines or emergency repairs.
You can wipe down visible surfaces, but professional pressure washing reaches grease deep inside ducts, filters, and exhaust components. DIY cleaning won't meet NFPA 96 standards or satisfy insurance inspectors. Northern Hood and Exhaust handles the certified deep cleaning your kitchen needs.
Our NFPA 96 certified service includes pressure washing the hood canopy, filters, ducts, and exhaust fans. We remove built-up grease, inspect for damage, and provide documentation for insurance and health compliance. Everything is done on-site with minimal kitchen disruption.
Most cleanings take 2 to 4 hours depending on kitchen size and grease buildup. Northern Hood and Exhaust offers same-day service in Calgary and Airdrie, so you can schedule around your operating hours. We'll confirm timing during your free inspection.
Certified cleaners like Northern Hood and Exhaust follow NFPA 96 standards and carry liability insurance. Non-certified services may skip critical areas, miss code violations, and leave you liable in case of fire. Insurance companies require certified documentation for claims.
Yes. Every Northern Hood and Exhaust cleaning includes a detailed report showing what was cleaned, grease levels removed, and inspection findings. We provide the proof insurers need to validate your maintenance compliance and protect your coverage.
Empty and wipe filters weekly, clean the hood interior twice weekly, and check ducts for visible grease buildup. Document all maintenance. These habits extend time between deep cleanings and reduce fire risk. Northern Hood and Exhaust can recommend a maintenance schedule during your inspection.
