Veteran Owned & Operated

High Temp was founded by a U.S. military veteran with a commitment to service, precision, and doing the job right the first time. That same discipline, accountability, attention to detail, and zero-shortcuts are what you get every time we step into your kitchen.

Why Restaurants Choose High Temp

Commercial kitchens don't get second chances when it comes to fire safety. We combine veteran discipline with NFPA 96 expertise to deliver thorough, documented, code-compliant hood cleaning—without disrupting your service. It's why restaurant owners across Atlanta trust us year after year.

01How often should I have my kitchen exhaust system cleaned?

Cleaning frequency depends on your cooking volume and fuel type. High-volume kitchens and those using solid fuel (wood, charcoal) need service monthly. Most standard commercial kitchens require cleaning every 1–3 months. Residential vent hoods typically need cleaning once or twice a year. We’ll assess your kitchen and recommend a schedule that keeps you compliant and protected.

02What does NFPA 96 compliance mean and why does it matter?

NFPA 96 is the national fire code standard for commercial kitchen exhaust systems. It sets the requirements for how often your hood and exhaust system must be cleaned, what the cleaning must cover, and what documentation you need to prove it was done. Failing to meet NFPA 96 standards can result in failed fire inspections, fines, or your kitchen being shut down. Every High Temp service comes fully documented and compliant.

03Will the cleaning disrupt my kitchen's operating hours?

No. We schedule every service around your operation — nights, early mornings, and weekends — so your kitchen stays open and your team stays productive. Whether it’s a single-location restaurant or a multi-site operation, we work on your schedule, not ours.

04What's the difference between hood cleaning, kitchen exhaust cleaning, and commercial kitchen cleaning?

Hood cleaning focuses specifically on the hood surface and filters — the most visible part of your exhaust system. Kitchen exhaust cleaning covers the full system from hood to rooftop, including ductwork and exhaust fans. Commercial kitchen cleaning is a broader deep clean of the entire kitchen space — floors, walls, equipment exteriors, and grease traps — beyond just the exhaust system. High Temp offers all three, and we’ll help you determine what your kitchen actually needs.

Kitchens Across Atlanta Trust Us. Here's why.

Don't just take our word for it. Restaurant owners and multi-location operators across the metro count on High Temp to keep their kitchens clean, compliant, and ready for inspection—every single time.
