If you own a restaurant or other commercial establishment with cooking equipment, you should be aware that hood cleanings are required by law. Grease can build up in your exhaust hood, greatly increasing your risk of kitchen fires. Cleanings must be performed by professionals with licenses to do so, like AirCare Environmental Services, to comply with local regulations in New England and pass inspection.
We work with restaurants, hotels, and other cooking establishments to keep their kitchen hoods clean and most importantly, safe to use. As professionals working throughout New England, including Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and beyond, we are up to date on local requirements and can help you prepare for cleanings on a schedule compliant with your municipal code.
