What We Install
Commercial Hood Upgrades Connected to the Full System
A commercial hood cannot work in isolation. It must be correctly sized for your cooking equipment and properly connected to the exhaust fan and ductwork. We help you upgrade and modify your hood systems based on your specific kitchen needs.
1. Type 1 Hood Upgrades
Replacing standard hoods with Type 1 grease hoods required for fryers, grills, ranges, and heavy cooking.
2. Type 2 Hood Replacements
Upgrading or replacing heat and condensate hoods used over commercial dishwashers, pasta cookers, and baking ovens.
3. Hood Modifications
Adjusting the size, overhang, or position of your existing hood to accommodate new cooking equipment or a layout change.
4. Ductwork Connections
Ensuring the new or upgraded hood is securely and compliantly connected to the existing exhaust ductwork.
5. Fan Capacity Coordination
Verifying that your rooftop exhaust fan has the correct CFM capacity to handle the requirements of the new, larger hood.
6. Code Compliance Upgrades
Bringing older, non-compliant hoods up to current NYC Mechanical Code, FDNY, and NFPA 96 standards.
When to Call Us
Common Reasons Customers Need a Hood Upgrade
Commercial hood replacements are frequently required when a kitchen undergoes a menu change, adds new cooking equipment, or when the existing canopy is physically damaged or failing inspections.
Changing Cooking Equipment
Adding grease-producing equipment to a cookline often requires upgrading from a Type 2 to a Type 1 hood.
Outdated or Damaged Hood
The current hood has structural damage, severe un-cleanable grease saturation, or is deteriorating.
Poor Hood Capture
Smoke, heat, and grease vapors are spilling out from under the hood because it lacks the proper 6-inch overhang.
Inspection Failures
The existing hood does not meet code requirements for the type of cooking being performed beneath it.
Professional Hood Upgrades
Installed With System Performance and Safety in Mind
A commercial kitchen hood is the frontline defense of your ventilation system. It must be positioned perfectly over the cooking equipment and engineered to capture thermal plumes without disrupting kitchen airflow.
Eagle Kitchen Ventilation Corp. helps customers navigate hood replacements by assessing equipment needs and ensuring the new hood integrates safely with the existing ductwork and fans. If your upgrade requires permits or engineering reviews, we coordinate with the appropriate licensed professionals.
- Fully Insured: Professional service for commercial kitchens and active restaurant environments.
- FDNY Certificate of Fitness: Deep understanding of fire safety requirements for grease capture.
- NYC Mobile Service: Fast, reliable service across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island.
