The heart of your enterprise is a commercial kitchen.

Therefore, taking care of the hood is a vital part of your restaurant or commercial enterprise’s functionality. To ensure optimal working conditions, you need to have it serviced regularly, and fix issues as soon as they are identified. Failing to do so can have costly repercussions down the line, and longer downtimes. 

The hood is a key component of the overall ventilation system for your restaurants or commercial kitchen to exhaust grease, oil and smoke. It also expels heat, moisture and various other kitchen odours. It helps maintain a balance of air in your commercial kitchen, and a pleasant environment for your staff.
