How It Works

Our hvac & make-up air process for Arlington kitchens

  1. Walkthrough

    Make-up air unit, exhaust fan, and HVAC system evaluated. Pressure balance and airflow measured.

  2. Filter replacement

    Make-up air filters and return-air filters replaced — typically quarterly for moderate-volume kitchens.

  3. Coil cleaning

    Evaporator and condenser coils cleaned to restore heat-exchange efficiency lost to grease and dust.

  4. Belt & motor service

    Belt drives tensioned, bearings lubricated, motor electrical connections tightened, no-slip operation verified.

  5. Refrigerant check

    Refrigerant charge measured, leaks tested, system pressures verified within manufacturer specification.

  6. Make-up air balance

    Exhaust and make-up air balanced so doors close cleanly, the kitchen is not under negative pressure, and dining-room temperatures stay stable.

  7. Documentation

    Service report with measured values, photos, and any recommended repairs — useful for warranty and future audits.

FAQ

HVAC & Make-Up Air in Arlington FAQ

How quickly can you respond to an emergency at my Arlington restaurant?

Our Sterling headquarters is under 25 minutes from anywhere in Arlington. For true emergencies — fire suppression discharge, exhaust failure, or grease trap overflow — we aim to have a technician on-site within 2 hours. Call our 24/7 line at (202) 643-8113.

Do you service restaurants in Clarendon, Rosslyn, and Crystal City?

Yes. We have active accounts across all three corridors and service them regularly. Our familiarity with building management in Clarendon high-rises along Wilson Boulevard, the Rosslyn office towers, and the Crystal City underground concourse means we handle access and scheduling smoothly.

Do you clean exhaust systems for the Salvadoran, Ethiopian, and Vietnamese restaurants along Columbia Pike?

Yes. Columbia Pike's ethnic restaurant corridor produces some of Arlington's heaviest grease loads — pupusa griddles, injera and stew operations, and Vietnamese pho stations all run hot for 12+ hours daily. We tailor our cleaning protocols and frequency to each cuisine's specific exhaust profile rather than applying a generic schedule.

What does the Arlington County Fire Marshal look for during hood inspections?

Arlington County Fire Marshal inspections check for current NFPA 96 compliance stickers, clean hood interiors and ductwork (no grease deposits exceeding 1/8 inch / 3 mm), functional fire suppression systems with current UL-300 tags, proper grease containment on the roof, and accessible documentation. We provide all required paperwork and stickers with every service.

Do you serve the hotel and Pentagon-adjacent restaurants near the Pentagon City Metro and Amazon HQ2?

Yes. The Pentagon City and Crystal City corridor has dense hotel banquet operations, food court vendors, and ground-floor restaurants serving the Amazon HQ2 workforce. We coordinate with hotel engineering teams and property management for overnight roof access and provide institutional-grade compliance documentation for corporate accounts.

Can you clean our Arlington kitchen without disrupting operations?

Absolutely. We schedule all Arlington cleanings during your overnight downtime — typically between midnight and 6 AM. Our crews arrive after your last service and are finished before your morning prep team clocks in.

Do you handle grease trap service for Arlington restaurants in addition to hood cleaning?

Yes. We offer full grease trap pumping, line jetting, and maintenance for Arlington restaurants. Combining hood cleaning and grease trap service in one visit saves you money and keeps both your exhaust system and your wastewater compliance on track.

What documentation do you provide after cleaning our Arlington restaurant's exhaust system?

Every service includes timestamped before-and-after photos, a detailed service report covering every component cleaned, an NFPA 96 compliance certificate, a compliance sticker for your hood, and a digital copy emailed to you and your property manager within 24 hours.
