What the service assessment can cover
The assessment may consider fan operation, airflow paths, makeup air, and the installation conditions. Equipment service does not replace required cleaning, inspections, or fire-protection service.
Can a new cooking appliance change hood performance?
It can change the demands placed on the installation. Discuss equipment changes with the appropriate qualified professionals before assuming the existing ventilation arrangement is suitable.
