What We Do

Our Kitchen Grease Exhaust Services in Long Island City

Certified cleaning, repair, and compliance work — keeping Long Island City's commercial kitchens running safely and up to code.

🧹

Grease Exhaust Hood Cleaning & Inspection

NFPA 96-compliant cleaning of hoods, filters, and ductwork on a schedule matched to your kitchen's cooking volume, with documentation for your insurer and fire marshal.

🔧

Ductwork Repair & Replacement

Grease ductwork takes a beating from heat and buildup. We repair seams, welds, and access panels — or replace sections outright when corrosion compromises safety.

🌬️

Make-Up Air Balancing

Properly balanced make-up air keeps your kitchen from running negative pressure, which pulls in outside air, strains exhaust fans, and drives up energy costs.

🔥

Fire Suppression Coordination

We coordinate hood cleaning and ductwork service around your Ansul fire suppression system's inspection schedule, keeping your kitchen's full safety system aligned.

🌿

FDNY & LL97 Compliance

Commercial kitchens face both FDNY exhaust code requirements and, for larger Long Island City buildings, Local Law 97 carbon exposure — we help you manage both from one contractor.

🔄

Exhaust Fan Repair & Replacement

Rooftop kitchen exhaust fans run hard and get dirty fast. We repair belts, motors, and bearings, or replace fans that can no longer keep up with your kitchen's demand.

LL97 Note: Long Island City buildings over 25,000 sq ft face escalating carbon penalties starting 2024. Balanced make-up air and well-maintained exhaust fans reduce wasted energy — ask us about your building's exposure.

From code violation risk to passed inspection

One partner handles every step. Here's how we keep your kitchen compliant.

01

Kitchen & exhaust system survey

A certified technician inspects your hood, ductwork, fans, and make-up air system, documenting grease buildup and any code deficiencies.

02

Cleaning & service schedule design

We build a cleaning frequency around your cooking volume and equipment type — a high-volume fryer line needs more frequent service than a light-prep kitchen.

03

Fixed-price service proposal

A clear, itemized quote for cleaning, repair, or replacement work — approved before any work begins, with no surprise add-ons.

04

Certified service & documentation

Work is completed to NFPA 96 standards, with dated certification stickers and reports left on file for your fire marshal, insurer, or landlord.

Questions we hear every day

Straight answers about kitchen grease exhaust service in Long Island City — no marketing fluff.

How often does a commercial kitchen exhaust system need cleaning in Long Island City?
NFPA 96 recommends cleaning frequency based on cooking volume — typically monthly for high-volume operations like wok or char-broiler kitchens, quarterly for moderate-volume kitchens, and semi-annually for low-volume operations. Denair assesses your specific kitchen and cooking equipment to recommend a schedule that keeps you compliant without over-servicing.
How fast can Denair respond to a kitchen exhaust emergency in Long Island City?
Denair provides rapid response across Long Island City with technicians typically on-site within 4 hours — critical when an exhaust fan failure can force a kitchen to close under fire code. Our team carries common fan and ductwork components to enable same-visit repair where possible.
Does grease exhaust maintenance affect NYC Local Law 97 compliance?
LL97 sets carbon emissions limits for NYC buildings over 25,000 sq ft, and unbalanced make-up air or poorly maintained exhaust fans force HVAC systems to work harder, increasing energy use. Denair assesses your kitchen's exhaust and make-up air balance as part of your building's broader LL97 exposure for qualifying Long Island City properties.
What does hood cleaning and exhaust service cost in Long Island City?
Pricing depends on hood size, ductwork length and accessibility, cooking volume, and service frequency. Every job receives a clear, itemized fixed-price proposal before work begins — no surprise charges once our technicians are on the roof or in your kitchen.
Can Denair coordinate with our fire suppression system inspector?
Yes — we regularly schedule hood and ductwork cleaning around Ansul fire suppression inspection dates, since both systems need to be verified together for your certificate of fire code compliance. We can work directly with your existing suppression vendor or recommend one if needed.
