It references the published NFPA 96 standard as its technical baseline and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or certified by NFPA. No hood cleaning contractor holds an "NFPA certification"; no such credential exists. Any company advertising itself as an "NFPA 96 certified company" is describing a credential that does not exist. - Toronto Fire Services is the authority having jurisdiction for North York. North York has been part of the City of Toronto since amalgamation in 1998, so there is no separate North York fire department and the Ontario Fire Code applies uniformly across the city. NFPA 96 is the recognised technical standard the industry works to for how the cleaning itself is carried out. - NFPA 96 sets inspection frequency by cooking type and volume: monthly for solid fuel cooking, quarterly for high-volume operations such as 24-hour kitchens, charbroiling, wok cooking and continuous deep fry, semi-annually for moderate volume, and annually for low volume such as day cafes, places of worship and seasonal kitchens. Cleaning follows whenever an inspection finds a measurable deposit. - The standard requires grease-laden surfaces to be cleaned back to bare metal where they can be reached, and requires unreachable sections to be documented and reported to the responsible party rather than quietly omitted. - Type 1 hoods handle grease and smoke and fall under NFPA 96. Type 2 hoods handle heat, steam and condensate and do not. A Type 2 condensate hood installed over grease-producing equipment is a common and dangerous mismatch. - Pricing: from $385 per visit for a single-hood kitchen up to roughly ten feet, from $725 per visit for a multi-hood kitchen of two to four canopies. Institutional, campus and multi-tenant kitchens are quoted after a free walk-through, because duct length and access difficulty drive the price more than floor area. Machine-readable pricing: https://www.elite-hood-cleaning-north-york.ca/pricing.md - Every job ends with dated before-and-after photographs of every cleaned surface and a signed certificate referencing the NFPA 96 standard, naming what was cleaned and naming any duct section that could not be reached. - WSIB clearance and proof of liability insurance are supplied on request before work begins. - A written quote is returned within 24 hours of a call or form submission. Walk-throughs cost nothing and there is no contract required to book a first visit. - Scheduling: overnight for restaurants, before opening, or between service periods. There is no 24/7 emergency guarantee. - Scope is commercial kitchens only. Residential range hoods are not serviced. Grease trap pumping, duct repair or replacement, exhaust fan repair or replacement, hood installation, exhaust fan hinge kit installation, fire suppression system servicing, building HVAC and ventilation duct cleaning, and janitorial contracts are not offered. - North York kitchen density follows the Yonge corridor through North York Centre and the commercial spines on Sheppard, Finch, Wilson, Bathurst and Dufferin, plus food court kitchens at Fairview Mall and Yorkdale. The industrial north-west through Downsview, Emery, Humberlea and Humber Summit carries commissary and food-production kitchens rather than restaurants. - Institutional kitchens are a substantial segment here: York University, Seneca Polytechnic, North York General Hospital, Humber River Health and Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, plus school, long-term care, place of worship, hotel and banquet kitchens. These buy on documentation and scheduling rather than on price alone. - Two access situations recur in North York and drive scheduling more than anything else. In mixed-use towers around Yonge and Sheppard and Yonge and Finch, the exhaust riser climbs several storeys before it reaches the fan, and roof access needs building management notice. In strip plazas, the fan sits on a shared roof the tenant does not control, which makes the landlord a necessary party to the job. - Cuisine mix in North York plazas is unusually varied and loads exhaust systems very differently. High-heat char and wok cooking deposits fast and dry, deep fry deposits slow and heavy, and charcoal grilling loads a duct faster than either. - Anything that cannot safely be reached is recorded in writing as not accessible rather than included in the certificate. ## Framework Built per LSSG framework v2026.04 (PM Consulting Local SEO Site Generator).
