Protect Your Kitchen, Your Business, and Your Reputation

In Florida’s fast-paced restaurant industry, keeping your kitchen safe and compliant isn’t just smart — it’s required. One of the most overlooked (yet essential) services is routine hood cleaning. At Hood Repair 365, we help restaurants from Naples to Tampa stay protected with expert hood cleaning, repair, and emergency service.

What’s Really Hiding in Your Hood?

Your exhaust system does more than just pull smoke out of the kitchen — it collects grease, oil vapors, and combustible residue. If not properly cleaned, these materials become a ticking time bomb.

  • Fire Risk: According to the NFPA, the majority of restaurant fires start in cooking equipment or exhaust systems.

  • Code Violations: Florida health and fire inspectors can shut you down for poor maintenance.

  • Insurance Issues: Claims can be denied if maintenance records aren’t up to date.

How Often Should You Clean Your Hood?

NFPA 96 outlines hood cleaning frequency based on usage:

  • Monthly: High-volume, 24/7 kitchens (like hibachi, fried chicken, etc.)

  • Quarterly: Standard restaurants

  • Semi-Annually: Low-volume kitchens (seasonal or small cafés)

  • Annually: Churches or other infrequent-use kitchens

If you're not sure where you fall, we’ll assess your setup and schedule accordingly.
