Frequently Asked Questions

he National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 96) recommends:

• Monthly cleaning for high-volume kitchens (e.g., 24/7 diners, wok cooking)
   
• Quarterly for moderate-volume operations (e.g., sit-down restaurants)
   
• Semi-annually or annually for low-volume or seasonal kitchens
   

We'll help determine the ideal schedule based on your cooking volume and fire code requirements.

UL 300 is a fire suppression standard required for most modern commercial kitchens. It ensures systems are designed to handle grease fires with wet chemical agents rather than outdated dry systems.
Installing a UL 300-compliant system is mandatory in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut — and is often required by insurance providers and the fire department.

Our certified cleaning includes:

• Cleaning of hoods, filters, ductwork, and exhaust fans
   
• Removal of grease buildup and flammable residue
