Kitchen Hood Installation

Commercial Kitchen Hood Installation in Albuquerque

A properly designed and installed kitchen hood is essential for any commercial cooking operation. It removes smoke, grease, heat, and odors while maintaining proper air balance in your kitchen. MGP Mechanical provides professional commercial kitchen hood installation for restaurants, cafeterias, food trucks, and other commercial cooking facilities throughout Albuquerque and Central New Mexico.

Code-Compliant Installation

Commercial kitchen hoods must meet strict building code and fire safety requirements. We ensure every installation complies with local building codes, fire codes, and health department requirements. This includes proper hood sizing based on your cooking equipment, adequate exhaust capacity, make-up air systems to maintain air balance, and integration with fire suppression systems.

Types of Kitchen Hoods We Install

We install Type I hoods for cooking equipment that produces grease-laden vapors (grills, fryers, ranges) and Type II hoods for equipment that produces heat and steam but not grease (dishwashers, ovens). Each type has specific requirements for construction, exhaust rates, and fire suppression that we address during design and installation.

Make-Up Air Systems

A kitchen hood exhausts a large volume of air from your building. Without a properly designed make-up air system, you'll experience negative pressure that makes doors hard to open, causes drafts, and reduces the effectiveness of your exhaust system. We design and install make-up air systems that keep your kitchen properly balanced and comfortable for staff.

Kitchen hood installation is often part of a larger tenant improvement or new construction project. We coordinate with general contractors, architects, and other trades to ensure the hood system integrates properly with your building's commercial HVAC and plumbing systems.
