There’s more than just electrical codes involved here.

2002 Statistics (from USDFA Report)

• 156,500 fires in commercial kitchens
• 331 deaths
• 4,914 injuries
• Cooking caused 90% of these fires
• $876 million property damages

Commercial kitchens are one of the harshest environments for a facility. ESC brings extensive knowledge of the commercial food industry that sets us apart from other electrical service contractors. On top of the overall operation and codes that apply to commercial kitchens we are uniquely experienced with exhaust hoods and their interaction with the fire suppression system.

Most electrical contractors don’t know all the different codes, local and national, that surround exhaust systems. We have a lot of experience repairing, inspecting and installing commercial hoods.
