Kitchen Guard of Delmarva Answers All Your Filter Exchange Questions
Regularly changing your exhaust filters is essential for fire prevention and ventilation efficiency. Here’s what you need to know:
Dirty kitchen hood filters restrict airflow, which can lead to poor ventilation, overheating, and a serious fire risk due to grease buildup. Regular filter exchanges help maintain safe kitchen operations and ensure your business stays compliant with fire safety codes.
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 96, Section 12.6.2:
“Hoods, grease removal devices (filters), fans, ducts, and other appurtenances shall be cleaned to remove combustible contaminants prior to surfaces becoming heavily contaminated with grease or oily sludge.”
“Heavily contaminated” is defined as grease buildup greater than 0.078 inches (5/64”). Staying under this threshold is critical for fire prevention and compliance with health and safety regulations.
Dirty filters are a leading risk for fires due to grease buildup, they can restrict airflow, causing poor ventilation and overheating in your kitchen. Regular filter exchanges help prevent these hazards and keep your business compliant with safety regulations.
