A properly installed kitchen hood system is essential for maintaining a safe, efficient, and compliant commercial kitchen. Expert Fire & Safety specializes in the professional installation of kitchen hoods across Calgary, Red Deer, Edmonton, and surrounding areas. We provide tailored installation solutions that meet both local safety codes and the specific needs of your kitchen, ensuring optimal ventilation and fire safety.
Why Commercial Kitchen Hood Installation is Important
A commercial kitchen produces high levels of smoke, grease, and heat, all of which can impact air quality and safety if not properly ventilated. A well-designed kitchen hood system:
- Reduces Fire Hazards: Properly ventilates grease and smoke to prevent fire risks.
- Improves Air Quality: Extracts heat, fumes, and odors to keep the kitchen environment clean.
- Meets Safety Codes: Adheres to national fire safety standards and local building regulations.
- Enhances Kitchen Efficiency: A well-ventilated kitchen allows for more comfortable and efficient working conditions.
We provide end-to-end installation services for various types of commercial kitchen hoods, including:
- Exhaust Hood Installation: Installing high-performance hoods to effectively vent grease and smoke.
- Ductwork Installation: Setting up durable ducts to direct exhaust away from the kitchen.
- Fan and Motor Integration: Ensuring the exhaust system works efficiently with top-quality fans and motors.
- Custom Hood Fabrication: Designing and fabricating kitchen hoods to fit unique layouts or specific requirements.
Whether your kitchen needs a traditional wall-mounted hood, an island hood, or a custom canopy hood, we offer tailored installation solutions that enhance ventilation and safety.
Different kitchens require different hood systems depending on the equipment used and the layout of the kitchen. We install a range of kitchen hoods, including:
- Type 1 Hoods: Ideal for heavy-duty cooking equipment like fryers, griddles, and charbroilers. These hoods are designed to vent grease, smoke, and combustible by-products.
- Type 2 Hoods: Used for appliances like ovens, steamers, and dishwashers that generate steam and heat but do not produce grease.
- Island Hoods: Designed for kitchens with island-style cooking areas, providing 360-degree ventilation coverage.
- Canopy Hoods: These overhead hoods are ideal for large kitchens and provide extensive coverage over multiple cooking stations.
- Ductless Hoods: An effective solution for kitchens without external ducting options, utilizing filters to clean the air and recirculate it back into the kitchen.
