Evergreen guide
How often to clean a commercial hood
Use the local fire authority's published inspection and paperwork rules first, then fit service cadence around the real cooking load.
Guide section
What local pages should answer
- Which authority governs the kitchen hood system.
- Whether the city publishes an inspection schedule, retention rule, or service-tag expectation.
- What proof staff must produce on inspection day.
Guide section
Avoid the common shortcut
- Do not collapse hood cleaning, suppression service, and inspection prep into one vague reminder.
- Keep separate dates and reports whenever the authority treats them separately.
