Keeping your kitchen safe and compliant means staying on top of essential repairs—here’s what you need to know.

If your commercial kitchen fails an inspection due to NFPA 96 violations, contact Kitchen Guard right away. Our certified Repair Technicians will assess your system, install any required components, and document the repairs to ensure you meet compliance standards.

Kitchen Guard’s Fan Maintenance Program is a comprehensive quarterly service plan designed to keep your kitchen exhaust fan running smoothly and efficiently—all for just $110 per fan per month (*price may vary by store).

What’s Included?

  • Quarterly Service performed by trained technicians
  • Coverage for the motor, belts, and bearings
  • Lifetime Warranty on covered parts (effective after 30 days in the program)

Each Quarterly Visit Includes:

  • Lubrication of Zerk fittings on motors and bearings
  • Cleaning of the motor casing to improve heat dissipation
  • Fan belt replacement as needed (at least every 6 months)
  • AMP draw measurement to ensure electrical load is within safe specifications and to verify that the motor is operating correctly per manufacturer specifications

If a motor is found to be operating outside of manufacturer specifications, we will recommend a replacement motor as a scheduled repair (under warranty) to prevent failure—saving both your Friday night dinner rush and the cost of an emergency service call.

Warranty Details:

  • Both labor and parts are covered for warranty replacements
  • If a replacement motor exceeds $400, you only pay the difference

Note: Most motors cost between $300–$400

This program is designed to reduce downtime, prevent costly repairs, and ensure your fan stays compliant and safe year-round.

A non-functioning exhaust fan can cause major disruptions. Call your local Kitchen Guard immediately for emergency service. Our technicians will arrive as quick as possible to diagnose and repair the issue, minimizing downtime so your business can continue operating safely.

At Kitchen Guard, we’re upfront and honest about our capabilities. If a repair falls outside our expertise, we’ll connect you with a trusted resource who can get the job done. Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities.
