Commercial Hood System Replacement Services in Mesa, AZ
Commercial Kitchen Hood Replacement
Commercial kitchen hood replacement makes sense when a canopy has rusted through at the seams or warped from years of heat, since repairs would only postpone the bill.
Mesa Hood & Exhaust Co. pulls the old unit, caps the duct, and handles commercial hood filter exchanges with a new stainless canopy, then reconnects the fan and tests the pull. Smoke gets captured the way it should, and cleaning crews work on a surface with no pitted metal.
Restaurant Hood Replacement
Restaurant hood replacement usually gets scheduled around a closed weekend or a remodel, since the kitchen stops cooking while the old canopy is down.
Our licensed technicians demolish the old hood and set the new one on the same supports whenever the layout allows, which saves structural work and keeps the ceiling intact. Your line reopens with a hood matched to today's menu instead of the menu from ten years ago.
Commercial Exhaust Hood Replacement
Commercial exhaust hood replacement often follows an equipment upgrade, because a larger fryer bank or a new charbroiler overwhelms a hood sized for the old line.
Our experts measure the new cooking line, size the canopy to cover it, and check that the rooftop fan and makeup air keep their balance with the new hood. Balanced airflow holds smoke on the line side and spares you the pressure swings that make back doors hard to open.
Commercial Vent Hood Replacement
Commercial vent hood replacement involves a large piece of equipment, since from experience most commercial hoods run 10 to 15 feet long.
Our crew lifts the old canopy out in sections, hangs the new one from structural supports, and seals every seam liquid-tight before the fan goes back on. A tight, level hood holds its shape through years of heat, so grease drains toward the cup instead of creeping along the seams.
Type I Hood Replacement
Type I hood replacement swaps the grease-rated canopy over your fryers, griddles, and charbroilers for a new UL 710 listed unit, most often after fire damage or failed welds.
Our technicians plan around the suppression piping from the start, since your fire contractor detaches the nozzles and fusible links before demolition and reconnects them afterward. A listed hood with continuously welded seams gives inspectors a clear sign-off and keeps grease inside the canopy.
NFPA 96 Hood Replacement
NFPA 96 hood replacement brings an outdated hood into line with the fire standard that your insurer and Mesa Fire and Medical Department inspectors both follow.
Our experts check each new canopy for required clearances to combustible walls, confirm that access panels sit where cleaners reach them, and document the installation with photos for your permit file. The paperwork speeds approval, and the finished hood meets cleaning access requirements from day one.
Five-Stage Commercial Hood System Replacement Process for Mesa, AZ
Step 1: Assess the Old Hood
Our technicians inspect seams, welds, and ductwork, then measure the cooking line to confirm that replacement beats repair.
Step 2: Order and Permit
Crews specify a listed canopy and baffle filters, and our team prepares drawings for Mesa permit review.
Step 3: Demolish and Cap
Your fire contractor detaches suppression lines first. Our crew then unbolts the old canopy, caps the duct, and hauls the hood away.
Step 4: Hang and Seal
The new canopy goes up level on structural supports, and crews weld or seal every seam before reconnecting the duct and fan.
Step 5: Test and Hand Off
Airflow tests run before inspection, and your fire contractor retests suppression. You then receive photos and records for your permit file.
