A Noisy Exhaust Fan Sounds a Warning That You Can’t Afford to Ignore

Is your exhaust fan starting to make noise when in use? Chances are, the fan itself is out of balance or may have lost a bearing for support. In turn, this causes the fan to use extra electricity just to function, and in some cases, a short-term fix will only lead to reoccurring servicing bills. Motor failures and downtimes are something that restaurant owners cannot afford. You are better off hiring a professional to ensure that the fan is in place properly, or replaced if needed, instead of taking risks of failure.

Kitchen Exhaust Systems Contribute To Energy Bills

If you are a restaurant owner, kitchen exhaust systems are reliable for a large portion of your energy bill. Leaking ductwork and greasy kitchen exhaust systems work overtime and harder to get the job done, causing energy bills to soar. Did you know that reducing the size of the exhaust fan can also reduce energy bills? Only a licensed professional can tell you if your system qualifies for such a reduction. If so,  you can save a good percentage on energy and preserve the life of your kitchen exhaust system with proper cleanings and servicing.

Lower the Risks of a Devastating Kitchen Fire with Routine System Cleanings

If your company has not hired a licensed kitchen exhaust inspection or cleaning business, chances are you have placed your business at risks for the same kind of catastrophe mentioned above. Grease buildup is the number one reason why kitchen fires begin.

KM Facility Services Deals With Greasy Kitchen Exhaust While Protecting Your Investment

Unlike many other companies, KM Facility has several system checks in place when providing licensed kitchen exhaust inspections and degreasing services. We initially inspect your kitchen exhaust system with a manager available. We make notes of problems found such as bad wiring, greasy rooftops, fan vibration or noise, and ensure that fans are working as they should before properly cleaning. Afterward, we set up grease guards and collection devices on the roof, and cover all other equipment and floor, protecting it from grease damage. Then we use GREEN cleaning solutions to remove the grease from the fans, hoods, ductwork and filters. When we finish degreasing, we empty the catch pans, and wipe down the ladder and roof hatch, clean the floor and remove grease water created from the roof.

After removing all grease, we polish the inside and the outside of the stainless hoods and backsplash and run the kitchen exhaust system to ensure that fans and other elements are working properly prior to placing an inspection sticker on the kitchen hood. A copy of the service report will be left with the manager or at the restaurant, providing verification that the owner has safeguarded against a kitchen exhaust fire.
