Keeping up with the maintenance of your exhaust fans can help keep your equipment in good shape, but it can also greatly extend the life of your current roof by preventing secondhand damage from occurring. If maintenance is ignored, grease build-up can easily occur causing increased wear and tear on your equipment but it can also lead to grease reaching the roof. Grease contamination causes premature aging of the roof membrane requiring costly repairs if not addressed. But, no need to worry! With simple and routine preventative maintenance it’s possible to keep your exhaust fan, roof, and conscious clean all while avoiding costly repairs.
What your exhaust fan could look like without routine maintenance...
Reasons Why You Should Maintain Your Rooftop Exhaust Fans
Save money. Maintained equipment will run more efficiently saving you money on your utility bills, help avoid grease damage to your roof, and last longer
Adhere to safety guidelines. If your fan is not regularly cleaned you could be violating NFPA 96 (Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations) requirements by creating a potential fire hazard.
Save time. With routine fan maintenance, you'll have more time to work on your day-to-day operations instead of spending time and money on equipment or roof repairs.
