Frequently Asked Questions


How often should restaurant HVAC systems be serviced?


Most restaurants should have HVAC equipment professionally inspected and maintained at least twice per year. Facilities with heavy kitchen operations may benefit from more frequent service.


Why do restaurant drains clog so frequently?


Grease, food particles, soap residue, and heavy daily usage often cause buildup inside drain lines. Routine drain cleaning and hydro jetting can help prevent recurring issues.


How often should restaurant drain lines be cleaned?


High-volume kitchens often benefit from annual or semi-annual drain cleaning depending on usage levels.


What is a make-up air system?


A make-up air system replaces air exhausted from kitchen hoods and ventilation systems. Proper operation is essential for comfort, ventilation, and HVAC performance.


Can preventative maintenance reduce emergency repairs?


Yes. Regular inspections and maintenance can identify small issues before they become expensive breakdowns.


Do restaurants require backflow testing?


Many restaurants are required to maintain and test backflow prevention devices to protect public water supplies and remain compliant with local regulations.
