Current fire codes like <a href=\"https:\/\/questrmg.com\/2018\/05\/12\/nfpa-fire-code-96-standard-for-vent-hood-cleaning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NFPA 96<\/a> demand that a commercial vent hood system is regularly cleaned and maintained, and with good reason. A dirty <a href=\"https:\/\/questrmg.com\/vent-hood\/\">vent hood system<\/a> is just a fire hazard waiting to happen. That being said, restaurants shouldn\u2019t see this as a burden. In fact, it\u2019s a blessing in disguise.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Regular Vent Hood Cleaning Extends the Life of Your Equipment<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Sticking with the metaphor of a vent hood system being like the engine in a car, you wouldn\u2019t only change your oil when your engine seizes up, right? No. You change your oil regularly to keep your engine running as it should. <a href=\"\/blog\/vent-hood-cleaning-doing-it-right\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Maintaining a vent hood system<\/a> is no different. Regularly cleaning, inspecting, and replacing worn out parts extends the life of the parts that are critical to your vent hood.<\/p>\n<h2><strong style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Commercial Vent Hood Cleaning Maintenance Prevents Costly Disasters<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Waiting until something breaks to maintain your vent hood is not only going to cost you more money \u2013 it\u2019s going to cost you time. Because a vent hood is a system of different pieces, all with their own series of important parts when one thing breaks \u2013 other pieces attached to it are likely to break as well. For instance, if a fan belt breaks, there is a good chance that damage can be done to the fan itself. Now you\u2019re at the mercy of parts availability and the time it is going to take to fix the issue. That\u2019s just if there is a problem with the equipment \u2013 not to mention the disaster that a fire would be for your restaurant location. An improperly maintained system is a ticking time bomb, the result of which can be damage to your building, lost time for renovations, and personal injury or death to employees or customers, insurance claims, lawsuits, and a myriad of other issues. The cost of regular maintenance pales in comparison to the cost of even a small fire.<\/p>\n<h2><strong style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Regular Commercial Vent Hood Cleaning Saves you Thousands\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>During the process of a thorough, professional vent hood cleaning all critical parts are inspected for wear and tear. Because of this, you\u2019ll get the parts that are most critical to your operation replaced BEFORE they fail. It\u2019s a simple concept that can save you thousands in lost time and expensive parts.
