How Our Commercial Kitchen Ventilation Quotes Work
At Express Kitchen Hoods, LLC, we understand that every commercial kitchen is unique. The pricing of a commercial exhaust hood and fire suppression system depends heavily on your specific cooking equipment, local building codes (like FDNY or county NFPA 96 constraints), and building geometry. Using our interactive calculator ensures we gather the right specifics to give you the most accurate starting point.
Custom Engineering
Every hood requires an exact CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) calculation depending on the heat load to ensure proper capture.
Fire Suppression
Our UL-300 compliant Ansul sizing adjusts automatically by tank capacity, keeping your facility safe and insured.
Guaranteed Compliance
Included in our standard quotes are all drawings, permits, and final sign-offs to pass local health inspections.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a Type 1 or Type 2 commercial hood?
A Type 1 hood is required for any cooking appliance that produces grease-laden vapor (fryers, grills, broilers). A Type 2 hood is used for heat, steam, and odor removal (ovens, dishwashers) where grease is not present. Our builder will help direct you based on your selected equipment.
Is fire suppression always required?
Yes, for all Type 1 grease hoods, a certified fire suppression system (like an Ansul or Kidde system) is legally mandated by NFPA 96. We factor the cylinder sizing into your estimate automatically based on your canopy's dimensions.
Does this estimate include final permits?
Yes, when we provide a final proposal after reviewing your builder submission, we always include architectural drafting and municipal permitting to ensure full compliance across Maryland, Virginia, DC, and New York.
