Here in California, restaurant kitchens are required by code to have automatic fire suppressions systems. This is very important to prevent injuries to people and damage to your expensive commercial kitchen equipment. Does your restaurant kitchen have an automatic fire suppression that you’ll be able to count on in the event of an emergency? If you’re not sure, now is the time to update yours with Flue Steam.

How automatic fire suppression systems work

Automatic fire suppression systems operate with a temperature sensor that triggers the system to activate whenever the air outside the hood of your exhaust system reaches a certain preset temperature, which is usually set at 450 degrees. When this sensor is triggered, an extinguishing agent douses any flames on your appliances and in the plenum. In that same instant, an automatic shut-off valve is triggered to turn off your gas supply, which is essential to further reduce the flames. The automatic nature of these systems is absolutely essential so that fires can be extinguished instantaneously, but they are also equipped with a manual pull trigger, too.

Is your automatic fire suppression system up to the challenge?

If your automatic fire suppression is many years old, or otherwise shows signs of wear and tear, now is the perfect time to upgrade to a new one from Flue Steam. It’s so important to have one that’s in good working order so you’ll be prepared in the unlikely event that you’ll need it. In commercial kitchens, the unexpected often happens, so it’s always better to be safe than sorry.

When you purchase an automatic fire suppression system from Flue Steam, we’ll professionally install it for you to make sure it complies with all applicable codes, including the UL 300 standard.

About steam cleaning

But you may be wondering, what is steam cleaning, exactly? What’s involved, and why is it important? As the industry experts in steam cleaning, we’ll gladly provide helpful answers to all your burning questions. Steam cleaning is a method of cleaning commercial kitchen exhaust systems that involves the use of hot, highly pressurized water and specialized equipment to effectively reach every inch of your system. Unlike other companies that focus mostly on the range hood, our licensed technicians will strive to clean all areas of your exhaust system, including the exhaust ducts, drip cups, and exhaust fans.

Steam cleaning is essential for all kinds of restaurant kitchens because, if grease is allowed to build up in your exhaust system, a flash fire can occur. That could lead to someone getting hurt, your equipment being damaged, and perhaps even closure of your business. Maintaining the cleanliness of your exhaust system is also required by various government agencies, and failure to do so could result in fines.

Protect your restaurant kitchen from flash fires and keep it humming along efficiently and safely with steam cleaning services from Flue Steam. After every cleaning, we’ll provide a “Certificate of Performance” sticker that’ll keep code inspectors satisfied and may even save you money on your insurance bills. For your convenience, we can also install code-required access panels for your exhaust system to allow for the most comprehensive exhaust system cleaning possible.

Bonus services

We care about the safety and efficiency of your restaurant kitchen, which is why we offer the following bonus services, included with every regularly scheduled steam cleaning:

• Exhaust fan inspection
• Inspection of belts and other parts
• Grease fan bearings

If our technician discovers that your belts are worn out and you have a replacement readily at hand, we’ll install the new belt at no charge. We do this to ensure that your exhaust fan is able to draw properly, so your system always stays clean for as long as possible.

In addition, we also sell, service, and professionally install automatic fire suppression systems and portable fire extinguishers for restaurant kitchens throughout Southern California.
