What We Do

Our Kitchen Grease Exhaust Services in Queens

Full-service grease exhaust support — cleaning, repair, and compliance — for the restaurants and commercial kitchens Queens runs on.

🧽

NFPA 96 Hood & Duct Cleaning

Scheduled cleaning of hoods, ductwork, and fans to NFPA 96 standards, removing grease buildup that's both a fire hazard and a common cause of failed inspections.

🔧

Exhaust Fan Repair & Replacement

From bearing failures to motor burnout, our certified technicians repair rooftop exhaust fans on-site, or handle full replacement when a unit is beyond economical repair.

📋

FDNY & DOH Inspection Support

We prepare your grease exhaust system for fire marshal and health department inspections, addressing common failure points before an inspector ever arrives.

🚨

Emergency Exhaust Repair

A failed exhaust fan can force a kitchen closure. Certified technicians typically reach Queens restaurants within 4 hours to restore code-compliant ventilation.

📊

Grease Trap & Filter Program Coordination

We coordinate cleaning schedules and documentation across your grease exhaust system, hood filters, and related equipment, keeping your compliance file complete.

🌿

LL97 Ventilation Efficiency

Poorly maintained grease exhaust systems make your kitchen's makeup air and HVAC work harder. Regular service keeps energy use — and your Local Law 97 exposure — in check.

LL97 Note: Queens buildings over 25,000 sq ft face escalating carbon penalties starting 2024. A well-maintained grease exhaust system reduces the makeup air load your building's HVAC has to fight — a real, if often overlooked, piece of your emissions profile.

From inspection to code-ready kitchen

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

01

Kitchen exhaust assessment

A certified technician inspects your Queens kitchen's hood, ductwork, fan, and filters, documenting grease buildup and any code deficiencies.

02

Cleaning & repair scoping

We scope the cleaning or repair work needed to bring the system to NFPA 96 and local code standards, prioritizing anything that would fail an inspection.

03

Fixed-price proposal

You receive a clear, itemized quote for cleaning, repair, or both before work begins — no surprise charges once the crew is on-site.

04

Service & documentation

Technicians complete the work and leave a dated service report and cleaning certificate, ready for your next fire marshal or health inspection.

Questions we hear every day

Straight answers about kitchen grease exhaust service in Queens — no marketing fluff.

How often does a commercial kitchen grease exhaust system need cleaning in Queens?
NFPA 96 and NYC code generally require cleaning frequency based on cooking volume — high-volume kitchens (like 24-hour or high-grease operations) typically need quarterly cleaning, while lower-volume kitchens may only need it annually or semi-annually. Denair assesses your specific kitchen's cooking volume to recommend the right schedule and keep you inspection-ready.
Can Denair help us pass an FDNY or DOH grease exhaust inspection?
Yes. We inspect your hood, ductwork, and fan against the same standards fire marshals and health inspectors check, and address deficiencies — grease buildup, damaged fire-rated enclosures, missing access panels — before an official inspection, rather than after a failed one.
Does grease exhaust maintenance relate to NYC Local Law 97 compliance?
Indirectly, yes. LL97 sets carbon emissions limits for Queens buildings over 25,000 sq ft, and a poorly maintained or undersized grease exhaust system forces connected makeup air units and HVAC systems to run harder, increasing energy use. Keeping the exhaust system clean and properly balanced is a practical piece of managing a building's overall emissions exposure.
What does grease exhaust cleaning or repair cost in Queens?
Cost depends on hood and duct length, degree of grease buildup, and whether fan repair or replacement is needed. Every job starts with a fixed, itemized quote after inspection — restaurant operators get a clear number before committing, with no hourly surprises.
What happens if our exhaust fan fails during service hours?
A failed exhaust fan can force a kitchen closure under code, so we treat these as priority emergencies. Certified technicians typically reach Queens locations within 4 hours to diagnose and repair the fan, minimizing the time your kitchen is out of compliance.
