KITCHEN HOOD SUPPRESSION

Commercial kitchens have changed – equipment heats to higher temperatures, oils burn hotter, and cooking equipment has improved heat retention. A kitchen fire cannot be simply doused with water, it must be diffused at its fuel source with a chemical suppression system installed by the experts at D&H Technologies. Whether you need a new fire suppression system or a routine inspection or repair, we will be there at a moment’s notice to provide you with a free estimate.

You can count on D&H Technologies to inspect, service, and certify your existing fire system. Your semi-annual inspection required by most insurance companies and local authorities can be combined with the cleaning of your exhaust system for one affordable monthly charge with maximum discounts.
