Kitchen Exhaust Division

At Pro-Tec, we use only the best tools and equipment to ensure every job is done safely, efficiently, and to the highest standard. Our certified technicians specialize in keeping your entire kitchen exhaust system in full compliance with NFPA 96 standards. We provide professional hood cleaning, access door installation, fan hinge installation, and complete duct cleaning — all designed to maintain proper airflow, reduce fire risk, and keep your commercial kitchen operating safely and efficiently.

Under NFPA 96, all commercial kitchens are required to maintain a clean and properly functioning exhaust system, including the hood, filters, ductwork, and exhaust fan. The standard specifies cleaning intervals based on cooking volume and type:Monthly – for high-volume operations like charbroiling or frying. Quarterly – for standard commercial kitchens. Semi-annually – for moderate-use kitchens. Annually – for low-volume or seasonal operations. It also requires the installation of access panels, fan hinges, and proper documentation after each cleaning, so inspectors can verify compliance.
