Kitchen Exhaust Hood Company Springs into Action as new Restaurants Open
by
Farazandeh
PLACENTIA AND LONG BEACH, CA Spring has sprung and with it historically has come a wave of new Long Beach restaurant openings.
The kitchen exhaust hood
company of American Professional Services (APS-Hoods) is preparing for that busy spring restaurant season, which typically results in increased calls for hood sales, installations and cleanings, said Massoud Farazandeh, chief executive officer of APS-Hoods.
Headquartered in Colorado, APS-Hoods opened a fabrication facility in Placentia, CA in August 2009 to better address the increased calls for Long Beach hood cleaning
and other services, as well as calls for service throughout the state.
We are looking forward to helping these new restaurants come online with new or freshly cleaned and repaired kitchen hood systems so everything is operating at optimum level on opening day, Farazandeh said. Lots of new restaurants open in locations that previously housed restaurants and often, they simply clean and use the existing kitchen equipment. This can be a viable way of holding down start-up costs, provided the equipment has been maintained well and is in good working condition, said Farazandeh, a Long Beach hood sales
fabricator.
Determining whether the equipment is safe for reuse can be done by a qualified kitchen hood installation and inspection company. Sometimes the previous restaurant went out of business due to financial reasons, so its possible that in their final months, they failed to maintain their routine hood, duct and fan cleanings as a cost-cutting measure, Farazandeh said. Weve seen cases where some restaurants havent cleaned their hoods in a year because of finances. If this equipment is going to be used by the new restaurant, it is important to have it inspected and cleaned if necessary. Grease builds up in kitchen fans, ducts and hoods if it isnt cleaned routinely. Once it builds up, it becomes a fire hazard and the longer it is left, the more difficult it is to remove. However, we can remove all of the grease build-up from a system and have it looking like brand new, he said. APS-Hoods offers cleaning packages for restaurants that are designed to keep the restaurants on a schedule so that grease doesnt accumulate and create a fire hazard. Restaurants that use wood fires or smokehouses in their cooking processes typically need to have their systems cleaned once each month. Those that use deep fat fryers, charbroilers or those that cook with large volumes of vegetable oils should have their systems cleaned every three months at a minimum. Every restaurant should have fans, ducts and hood cleanings performed at least every six months, Farazandeh said.
