Why do you need kitchen ventilation?
No matter the size, shape, or use of your kitchen, you need to be able to safely remove hot air. Depending on what size kitchen you have, there are several solutions available. Kitchen ventilation systems keep your kitchen from overheating, keeps the working environment pleasant, and also removes harmful pollutants. There are many industries that would benefit from a proper kitchen ventilation system.
Schools
Some schools can see thousands of students walk through the halls on a single day. Your kitchen staff will need to be able to facilitate hot food for a large chunk of those students and faculty members. Just like having access to hot water on demand with an energy efficient kitchen water boiler, being able to easily remove steam and smoke from the kitchen will speed up production times.
Hotels
Are you offering a breakfast buffet? Or an evening menu at your hotel? The kitchens in most hotels are constantly fluctuating between prepping, cleaning and serving throughout most of the day. These environments can get hot very quickly and with the pressures of being on schedule, this can become intolerable even for the best chefs in the world. Having a strong exhaust fan for your kitchen or a kitchen ventilation system will bring the conditions back down to bearable levels quickly. Learn more about Hotel Air Conditioning here.
Restaurants
Arguably the life blood of any food service establishment, the kitchen can make or break a restaurant. Just like not having enough ovens, or poor refrigeration storage, a poor kitchen air conditioner can cause a slower service; poor service means unhappy customers. Keep your kitchen staff happy with better kitchen ventilation. What are the benefits of having proper kitchen ventilation?

Improving working conditions
The most obvious reason to invest in a better kitchen ventilation fan, get the hot air out of the kitchen and move fresher cooler air back in. Kitchen air conditioners coupled with a kitchen ceiling
exhaust fan keeps a constant flow of clean air moving through the premises. A more temperate environment makes for happier staff, which makes for better service to your customers.
Health and safety
We need oxygen to be able to live. If you are cooking a lot of food that gives off smoke, then it can make the air much harder to breathe. The likelihood this would result in hypoxia is low, but it is
your responsibility as an employer to ensure the wellbeing of your staff is dealt with appropriately. Kitchen ventilation systems are an inexpensive way to keep your team healthy and safe.
