Signs Your Kitchen Exhaust Hood Needs Attention: When to Consider Kitchen Exhaust Hood Repair
In a commercial kitchen, the exhaust hood plays a vital role in maintaining air quality, removing grease particles, and ensuring a safe working environment. However, like any mechanical system, exhaust hoods can develop problems over time. Identifying the early signs of a malfunction can help you avoid costly repairs, minimize downtime, and maintain kitchen safety. Timely kitchen exhaust hood repair ensures your system operates efficiently, keeping your kitchen running smoothly.
Key Signs Your Exhaust Hood May Be Malfunctioning
Recognizing the warning signs of an exhaust hood issue is crucial for preventing more significant problems down the line. Here’s what to watch for:
1. Reduced Airflow
One of the first signs of a malfunctioning exhaust hood is diminished airflow. If your kitchen feels hotter, smokier, or more humid than usual, it could indicate a problem with the hood’s ventilation. This may be due to clogged filters, blockages in the ductwork, or a failing fan.
2. Unusual Noises
Grinding, rattling, or humming sounds coming from your exhaust hood are clear indicators that something is wrong. These noises often point to mechanical issues with the fan or motor, which require prompt attention to avoid further damage.
3. Visible Grease Buildup
Grease accumulation on the hood, filters, or surrounding surfaces is a sign that your exhaust system isn’t effectively capturing and venting grease particles. This not only reduces efficiency but also creates a serious fire hazard.
4. Lingering Odors and Smoke
If cooking odors and smoke linger in your kitchen longer than usual, it’s likely that your exhaust hood isn’t performing at full capacity. This could be caused by clogged filters, a malfunctioning fan, or improper airflow.
5. Frequent System Shutdowns
An exhaust hood that frequently shuts down or struggles to start could have underlying electrical or mechanical issues. These problems can disrupt your kitchen operations and require immediate professional kitchen exhaust hood repair.
Why Timely Repairs Are Important
Ignoring the early signs of a malfunction can lead to more severe issues, such as:
Increased Fire Risk: Grease buildup in your exhaust system is highly flammable and can ignite if not properly removed.
Costly Repairs or Replacements: Minor problems left unaddressed can escalate into major repairs or even necessitate a full system replacement.
Operational Downtime: A malfunctioning exhaust hood can halt kitchen operations, leading to delays and lost revenue.
Non-Compliance with Safety Regulations: Many local health and fire codes require fully functioning exhaust systems. Non-compliance can result in fines or temporary closures.
The Benefits of Professional Kitchen Exhaust Hood Repair
When your exhaust hood shows signs of malfunction, it’s essential to seek professional repair services. Here’s why:
Accurate Diagnosis and Repair Professional technicians have the tools and expertise to identify the root cause of the problem and provide effective solutions.
Enhanced Safety and Compliance Proper repairs ensure your exhaust system complies with fire and health codes, reducing fire risks and protecting your business.
Improved Efficiency and Performance A well-maintained exhaust hood restores optimal airflow, improving kitchen comfort and reducing energy costs.
Long-Term Cost Savings Timely repairs prevent minor issues from becoming costly problems, saving you money in the long run.
Preventative Maintenance Tips
To keep your exhaust hood functioning at its best, consider these maintenance tips:
Regularly clean filters to prevent grease buildup.
Schedule routine inspections to catch potential issues early.
Ensure proper ventilation by keeping ductwork clear of blockages.
Conclusion
A malfunctioning exhaust hood can compromise the safety and efficiency of your commercial kitchen. By recognizing the early signs of trouble and scheduling prompt kitchen exhaust hood repair, you can avoid costly repairs, maintain a safe working environment, and ensure smooth operations. Don’t wait for small issues to turn into major problems—act quickly to keep your kitchen running at its best.

Let's talk practical tips and guidelines for practicing fire safety in witchcraft.
Understanding the Role of Fire in Witchcraft
Symbolism and Power:
Elemental Energy: Fire embodies the transformative power of the elemental realm, igniting passion, creativity, and spiritual purification in rituals. Candle Magic: Candles are commonly used for focusing intention, spellcraft, and invoking the sacred flame during ceremonies.
Safety Considerations:
Risk Awareness: Fire, while sacred, can pose hazards if mishandled or used improperly. Practitioners must prioritize safety and mindfulness in all magical workings involving flames.
Fire Safety Tips for Witchcraft
Preparation and Environment:
Clear Space: Ensure your magical workspace is free from clutter and combustible materials that could accidentally ignite. Fireproof Surface: Use a stable, fireproof surface such as a ceramic tile or metal tray to place candles or other incendiary items.
Candle Handling and Placement:
Stable Positioning: Place candles in sturdy holders that can support them securely and prevent tipping over. Distance: Keep candles and open flames away from flammable objects, curtains, papers, and other decorations.
Supervision and Monitoring:
Never Leave Unattended: Never leave burning candles or flames unattended. Stay present and attentive to your magical workings at all times. Extinguish Safely: Use a snuffer or gently blow out candles to extinguish them. Avoid using your fingers or blowing forcefully, which can scatter hot wax or sparks.
Alternative Methods:
LED Candles: Consider using LED candles for rituals or spells where an open flame isn't practical or safe. Visualizations: Practice visualization techniques to symbolize the presence of fire without using a physical flame, especially in environments where fire hazards are a concern.
Emergency Preparedness:
Fire Extinguisher: Have a fire extinguisher nearby and know how to use it properly in case of an emergency.
Smoke Detectors: Ensure smoke detectors are installed and functioning in your ritual space and home.
Final Thoughts:
Fire is a sacred and powerful element in witchcraft, offering us a profound connection to the transformative energies of the universe. By practicing fire safety with mindfulness, respect, and preparedness, we honor its essence while safeguarding ourselves, our spaces, and the natural world.

I'd really like 9-1-1 to do a call with a grease fire, or even just any situation involving one. Roughly half of all household fires are grease/oil fires, and it's really important to know how to deal with them.
For the record, to deal with a fire of this type:
DO. NOT. USE. WATER. This WILL make it worse. It will only spread the oil around. Example below.
If it's in a pan, find the lid to the pan and cover it to smother the fire.
If it's not in a pan or you don't have the lid, you can use baking soda (SPECIFICALLY baking soda). It can take a lot to work.
If you have one, you can use a Class K fire extinguisher (preferred) or a Class B fire extinguisher.

The boy is mine (Jade's edition)
Eddie Munson x Reader
Summary: Eddie has a plan for a romantic night, but things go awry (2k words)
Contents: Anxiety, Eddie is self deprecating, hurt/comfort (kinda), no gendered terms for reader except mention that their hand is smaller then Eddie's and reader is called beautiful, a literal fire (please look up fire safety), fluff
A/N: So I saw this the first day it was posted and I thought it was a fun idea and saved the prompt by @carolmunson. I've been writing this for a bit,, but like I have had such bad mental fog and generalized pain recently I have been having a hard time focusing...I think I kind of misinterpreted the rules a bit...so here is sad lump of a contribution. Call me Stitch the way I am telling myself "it may be little and broken but still good".
18+ only
The night had started well, at least Eddie thought it had. He promised you a romantic night in. He even prepped for it.
Eddie rented sappy love movies, getting advice by Harrington and Buckley surprisingly. Harrington stated flowers were the way to go, but then started arguing with Buckley. While entertaining, Eddie learned more about the languages of romance from Buckley then he did about romantic gifts. But he wrote down to get flowers.
So he watched the movies. And Eddie was high paid a lot of attention and basically learned to make a grand speech. Big pour out your heart moment. Which, he felt he always talked your ear off, so he could totally do.
Eddie then read those magazines all the cheerleaders gossiped and giggled over. He didn't learn much except some tips for the best kiss. Cup the person's cheek and lean in slowly. Build the suspense. Eddie could do that.
Give you flowers. Make a speech. Cup your cheek as he kisses you. Eddie had this in the bag! Each point written in his little notebook.
And then the reality of you coming to his trailer hit him when you called to confirm the date was still on that morning. He hung up the phone after flirting a bit and looked around his house. Nerves flooded his system as he looked at it with the perspective of an outsider. He didn't want it to look bad. And it was, well, it wasn't bad but definitely could be cleaner.
So Eddie had vacuumed and dusted the entire trailer. Tossed empty pizza boxes in the trash. Sprayed some cologne around the trailer to cover the scent of weed, then cursed himself for using the expensive cologne when there was a bottle of air freshener in the bathroom.
Had picked up his clothes scattered across his room and shoved them all, clean and dirty, into the closet. Had made sure his bed had more then one pillow, grabbing spare throw pillows and tossing them towards the headboard. Even if he didn't think there was a chance you would enter his bedroom tonight, he wanted to be prepared.
Eddie had even started dinner before you arrived. An easy roast that Wayne had made hundreds of times. Thrown meat, potatoes, onions, and carrots into the pot, seasoned it and thrown it all in the oven.
It was newer, this thing between you, and he wanted to get it all right. You'd been friends for years, just recently evolved into dating. It was easy to hold your hand and throw an arm around your shoulder before, stealing those small intimate moments and pretending it meant something more. But now it does mean more. Truly, it always had, but neither of you had said anything. Because like usual, Eddie was the coward and ran.
He spent what felt like minutes (it had been hours) looking back at the notes, the plan. He had even sketched some pictures of you and him as he studied. Gave himself some sweet new tattoos and piercings and muscles while you had hearts around your head. By the time he stopped rereading the same points over and over again, he realized you would be there within the hour.
And he already failed the first point, flowers. It had completely spaced him what with the studying, but he had other things he had been wanting to give you so he figured he could wing it. He rehearsed everything in his mind, having various conversations with you. He would take your coat, be charming as ever, and you would fall for him even more then you already had.
But the plan immediately left his mind when you had arrived. Eddie could feel his face flush as his eyes trailed up and down your figure. All the rushing thoughts in his head suddenly stopped. All he could think was Damn, how'd I get so lucky?
"You're beautiful." Eddie mumbled in awe as you had shrugged off your coat. And then you smiled and Eddie realized he had messed up the plan. He thought he had went through every variable but he hadn't. It wasn't you that was going to fall more in love with him tonight, but Eddie was going to fall more in love with you.
Eddie twirled a piece of hair around his finger, unable to meet your eyes. His heart was beating wildly in his chest and his palms were begin to sweat. He couldn't help but shift from foot to foot. "Oh I uh....got you something," Eddie smiled and turned to leave before hesitating and motioning to the couch," You can uh sit...or stand, standing is good too! I'll be right back."
Eddie cursed himself the whole time he walked away because of how stupid he was. He could stage elaborate campaigns but couldn't seem to form a single sentence in your presence. Eddie grabbed the gift off his dresser and inhaled slowly, mentally yelling at himself to be cool for once in his life.
And faltered in his steps.
Because you were sat on the couch. Not just on the edge of the cushion like those who he dealt to who couldn't wait to get out of his presence. No, you were fully relaxed into the cushion. You looked comfortable. You looked like you belonged.
And Eddie couldn't squash the butterflies that took flight in his stomach. And he sat on the cushion next to you, fighting the urge to wrap you in his arms and hold you close.
"I got you this," Eddie declared as he handed you a rock. A small, smooth stone that fit in the palm of your hand. Your mouth parted but no words came out. Eddie bit his lip as you slowly turned the stone over in your hands, staring at it.
"I saw it and I thought, well, I thought of you and it matches your eyes and-" Eddie huffed out a laugh and shook his head," Sorry, it's stupid just give it back."
Eddie moved to grab it out of your hand but you slapped at his arm and clenched the stone in your hand. "No, it's mine!" You held your hand to your chest and glared at him. "It's stupid," Eddie looked down. "It is not." "It is!"
"Are you serious? If you don't stop we're gonna have a problem. This is the most thoughtful thing anyone has ever done for me." You beamed at him. Joy and adoration written clearly across your face. Eddie slowly grinned back as you dared to open your palm and look at the stone again. "My precious," you wiggled your eyebrows at him, making him bark out a laugh as he relaxed.
"Let's save a ring for a later date." He joked, even as his mind raced. You quoted Lord of the Rings! You were sitting on his couch holding a rock he thought was the same shade as your eyes and you liked it!! He was done for. Completely head over heels fallen for you. Said he would never marry yet here he was planning his vows and everything.
"Seriously, Eddie, this is so sweet." Your hand grasped his. Your hand was smaller then his, fitting perfectly. Fingers interlocked hesitantly and then more surely. Eddie's eyes fell to your lips. Your tongue darted out slightly and wet them. And he started to lean in.
The air was thick, and not just with the tension, the anticipation. Your lips were milliseconds to coming in contact with his when Eddie's nose twitched as he caught a familiar scent. Your lips landed on Eddie's cheek as he turned so quickly to face the kitchen he gave himself whiplash.
Thick smoke started to waft out of the room. "Oh fuck!" He jumped up as the smoke detector finally started doing its job and screeched out an annoying beep. Eddie ran into the kitchen with you hot on his heels.
Eddie opened the oven door, smoke billowing out," SHITshitshit-" Eddie cursed as he slammed the door shut, coughing slightly. Your hand reached past him to shut off the oven before darting over to the window and throwing it open.
Eddie's eyes darted to the sink below the window. Stop, drop, and roll- wait no that was if you were on fire. But water beats fire in almost every scenario, right? Except oil, shit did he add oil? No, he didn't add anything except the food and the seasoning so it should all be good right?
"Stand back!" Eddie yells over the screeching alarm. Grabbing the pot holders, he throws the oven door open. Smoke billows past him as he makes a mad dash for the pot, grasping the handles and throwing it in the sink. He throws the faucet on, water pouring over the burnt food and pot.
Steam billows up with smoke, mingling in the air before flowing out the window. A hissing sound from the cool water hitting the hot pot fills the air. You fan the flames towards the open window. "Oh fuck." You cough as your eyes fill with tears from the smoke. Eddie winces as flurried apologies fall from his lips.
The pot, not on fire at least, starts to lessen up on producing smoke. Eddie deems it safe to leave and grabs your hand, dragging you outside. His hands on your shoulders guide you to sit on the steps as you continue to intermittently cough. Eddie rushes back into the kitchen, double checking that the oven was off, and quickly grabs a mug holding it under the still running faucet.
Eddie rushes back outside to you, almost missing the step and face planting. And wouldn't that have been the icing on the cake. Would that make Eddie or the embarrassment of faceplanting be the vanilla frosting? Who even created that saying? Cake was good and this was not good. Eddie shook his head of these thoughts as he sank down on the step next to you.
Eddie hands you the mug of water. You drink it in big gulps, a small dribble of water falling out of the side of your mouth towards your chin. Eddie wipes it away with his thumb as he apologizes," I am so sorry, I don't even know what happened."
"Is this Garfield?" You peer at the mug, as if Eddie almost didn't kill you. "Uh yeah, was in a rush, sorry I didn't grab like a nicer cup. I just ran out...to you..." "Don't apologize, I like Garfield," you mumble taking another drink of the water.
"Are you okay?" Eddie asks, hands running up and down your shoulders, eyes checking you over. "Think I hacked up a lung from all the smoke...," you rub your sternum," Man, my lungs do not like smoke...and you like that?" Eddie let out a nervous laugh," Yeah no sorry, only when its weed. Never really inhaled a straight fire before."
You look up into Eddie's eyes that are full of concern. "Well, I'd recommend like not doing that. But I'm okay, it startled me more then anything," You give a soft smile. "You sure?" "Positive." You knock his shoulder with yours.
Eddie's eyes search your figure, ensuring you aren't lying to him. You ignore him, opting to set the mug down on the ground. Fingers brushing against a dandelion, yellow and bright. You pluck it from the ground and twirl it between your fingers.
You're okay. You're holding a dandelion and you're okay. You aren't acting like you hate him. You aren't making excuses and leaving. You aren't leaving like everyone else-
Eddie's shoulders relax as the tension leaves his body. You're okay. Your relationship is okay. He didn't ruin everything. You're smiling at a fucking dandelion while his heart feels like it has run a marathon.
You're oblivious to his plight as you lean over and tuck the dandelion behind his ear," Maybe don't smoke that. Looks pretty on you." "Not that kind of weed." "Yeah dumb joke sorry."
A slow exhale escapes him as he shakes his head,"No it's good I'm just," Eddie waves his hand in front of him," like what the fuck just happened? I am never cooking again. I'll just take you to Enzo's. I fucked up. Sorry for ruining the date."
Your hand cupped his cheek as you ducked down to meet his eyes," Hey, no. You didn't ruin the date." Eddie rolls his eyes slightly," Almost killing you? Yeah, pretty sure i ruined it." You bump your knee against Eddie's, "it's not ruined and you didn't almost kill me. Small food fire, happens to everyone. I lit popcorn on fire once. Besides, if you did happen to kill me, at least I would have died happy and in love. And you'd be stuck with me cause ghost me is absolutely haunting you."
Eddie can't help but laugh slightly," Oh? You think you'd be a ghost and not get another chance at life? Be reincarnated or whatever?" "Well, even if I was reincarnated, I'd find you again."
Eddie scoffs, "C'mon, don't say that.. That's not even true, you'd totally be able to move on. You wouldn't need little old me." You grab his face and peer into his eyes," Eddie Munson, I will always need you. In this life and whatever happens after. You and me? We're it. Maybe it should be too soon to say, but I feel it in my bones. You're it for me Eddie. Together now, forever, and when everything ceases to exist we'll be in nothing together. I will always be with you because I will always love you."
You lean in and Eddie thinks his heart stops. Your hand holding his cheek in place, thumb lightly brushing back and forth. His eyes flutter shut as your lips finally touch his. It was soft and sweet, lips slowly parting and melding together in a dance that sent shivers down Eddie's spine. He sighed into the kiss as you leaned closer into each other. Your hands threading through his hair, his wrapping around your waist. Lips moving in tandem, tongues darting out tentatively.
You only part when you both are gasping for air. Soft smiles and longing glances shared as the sun sets. "I love you too." Eddie traces your cheekbone with his finger. "You better." You joke. Your combined giggles fill the air as you continue to steal kisses from each other.
The night may not have been the most romantic. Or gone to plan, like, at all. But it was one Eddie already knew that when he thought about he would be able to feel his heart swell with love. And as he kissed you Eddie thought, yeah you were it for him.
#Was gonna change my user from Jade but I have nothing that feel more like me (was going to be Jade for literal years and now it doesn't fit)#Maybe thats just the mental fog making everything not normal for me tho#Have yall burned anything before??

Creating the yanbois in Sims 4 and "accidentally" trapping them in the basement:
(I was inspired to do this after Nick creates Fone and Krow in Sims 4. And please dont attac me, ik their appearance is not accurate bc there's a limited male cc that fits on them, and im using mostly maxis match cc bc alpha cc is not my taste so yea, its hard to find exactly the hair and their exact ootd. Just doing this for fun, instead of doing my laundry and going to grocery)
(From left to right: Ezra, Friend, Harper, Fone, Krow, Ren, Nova and MC)
DAY 1:
- MC just invited them to a dinner party. They didnt suspect anything, maybe MC just like the basementcore aesthetic they've said. Until they realized, the door wont open and MC is nowhere to be found..
- its time for a group huddle with Mallows (the cat in a bee costume) as their advisor. Mallows keeps going down in the basement, maybe bc Fone is there? Idk but yea, im just going to make him my warden. Mallows will be MC's eyes.. But something happen:
- well, Mallows the Cat in a Bee Costume, is a strict warden. He keeps hissing and ends up fighting with Nova and Fone (the betrayal). Everytime they do group huddle, Mallows are doing jiu jitsu on them 😂 The reason: Mallows just woke up and choose violence that day.
-and theres Friend, the type of roommate who loves to clean, like the first thing he do is judge my kitchen counter and brushed it aggresively, like hey its not even dirty!? Friend doesnt care that he has been trapped in a basement. The most important thing is to make this place clean. The entire time, besides Mallows Wrestlemania segment, Rens infamous Mac & Cheese and the group meeting, he goes back cleaning and washing the dishes.
- and here is Ezra questioning how MC pulled a reverse uno card on him and yep! thats the face of pure regrets of eating Ren's Mac & Cheese. (I missed to take a screenshot of that moment when Ren is cooking Mac and Cheese, Fone and Nova keeps teaching him how to cook, Ren dropping the salt shaker in the pan and Ezra being the first one to eat it)
- Nova and Harper fighting for this one bed, even tho there are 7 beds. They keep doing a staring contest, whoever blink, will lose this bed (like its always this bed, sometimes if Harper is the one who sleep on this one, Nova would sleep on the floor instead of choosing another bed 😭 Nova, i have this urge to put a vent on the basement just to spite you.. Stop sleeping on the flooooor!
- Ren and Krow napping peacefully on their first day as long as Ren promised to never cook again. And yes, finally they used their own bed! They discovered that the bed I put in there is for sleeping not for just aesthetic n shit, praise the lo-
- and a rare photo of Fone exercising 😊 after turning off the tv everytime someone watches it. Fone cares about MC's electric bill. Be like Fone. I refuse to use motherlode so you really need to save on electricity guys.
- and introducing MC, was recently turned as a vampire and instead of buying a blood pack, they choose to build a basement, and put all the yanbois and make them her own blood bank.
Will try to add the another yanbois like Virgil, Robin, Morogh, Henry, Keith, Ten etc. Just hoping that my Sims wont crash 🤞 (bc the maximum household members including pets are 8, so i think but im hoping that it will not be laggy when I add another batch of yanbois hahahahaha, i can hear now my pc cursing me in c++ language 😂)
#restart heart vn#cannibal sweetheart#the krows nest#honey hotline vn#see thru need a friend#camp willowpeak#14 days with you#Mallows the Warden#Sims4#me playing thinking that maybe it will become my stress reliever#the amount of stress after seeing them not using the bed ive put bc they decide that the floor is so much better#and also putting the fire alarm after seeing Harper struggling in the kitchen for fire safety

my grandma gave me a fire blanket to keep in my car (she had already given me one for the kitchen) but we don't live in an area with wildfires or anything so i doubt i will ever need it. but my mom said "maybe you'll come across a tesla someday with someone burning alive inside and you can save them" so true mother
#my grandma loves safety. she is keeping that fire blanket company in business#to be clear i think the kitchen fire blanket is not a bad idea. grease fires aren't exactly uncommon#i guess i can use the fire blanket as a normal blanket if my car gets stuck in a snowstorm lol

i love how the current book has so many weird book review/parenting websites going on about how it's a great book for kids wanting to learn to cook, and lacks all those modern processed foods, and it's so charming, and
this book has multiple recipes requiring deep frying. on an open fire.
#three cheers for thorough investigation#even if the open fire part is skipped#i don't think deep frying is something kids should be doing#hell i think adults probably shouldn't do it either#no without a ton of very specific safety equipment#and with a setup that removes all distractions and all things that could catch fire#yes kids should get to help in the kitchen#and they should get to try things on their own#but none of the things they're trying should involve boiling oil

Understanding Ventilation Power: Selecting the Ideal CFM for Your Kitchen Exhaust Hood Installation
When it comes to kitchen exhaust hood installation, one of the most crucial factors to consider is the ventilation power, measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM). Choosing the right CFM ensures your kitchen remains free from smoke, grease, and odors, providing a safe and comfortable environment. This guide will help you understand how to select the appropriate CFM for your kitchen exhaust hood, enhancing both functionality and compliance with safety standards.
Why CFM Matters in Kitchen Exhaust Hood Installation
CFM, or cubic feet per minute, measures the volume of air a hood can exhaust in one minute. The right CFM is essential for effective ventilation, determining how quickly and efficiently smoke, steam, and grease are removed from your kitchen. An inadequate CFM can lead to poor air quality and increased fire hazards, while an excessively high CFM can be unnecessarily noisy and energy-consuming.
Calculating the Right CFM for Your Kitchen
The size of your cooking area and the type of cooking you do significantly impact the CFM requirements. For standard cooking ranges, a basic rule of thumb is 100 CFM per linear foot of cooktop. For example, a 30-inch range would need a hood with at least 250 CFM. For more intensive cooking methods, such as grilling or frying, you may need a higher CFM to ensure adequate ventilation.
Factors Influencing CFM Requirements
Several factors influence the CFM requirements for your kitchen exhaust hood installation:
Cooking Style: Heavy cooking styles like frying or grilling produce more smoke and grease, requiring higher CFM.
Kitchen Size: Larger kitchens may need more powerful hoods to ensure complete ventilation.
Ductwork Length: Longer duct runs can reduce efficiency, necessitating higher CFM to maintain performance.
Hood System Installation
Proper hood system installation is key to maximizing the effectiveness of your kitchen exhaust hood. Professional installation ensures your hood is correctly positioned and ducted, optimizing airflow and ventilation. Experts can assess your specific kitchen layout and recommend the best system and CFM for your needs, ensuring safety and compliance with local regulations.
Benefits of Choosing the Right CFM
Selecting the appropriate CFM for your kitchen exhaust hood offers several benefits:
Improved Air Quality: Efficient ventilation removes contaminants, keeping the air fresh and clean.
Enhanced Safety: Proper ventilation reduces the risk of grease fires and improves overall kitchen safety.
Energy Efficiency: Choosing the right CFM ensures your hood operates efficiently, saving on energy costs.
Noise Reduction: An appropriately powered hood operates more quietly, creating a more pleasant cooking environment.
Professional Kitchen Exhaust Hood Installation
Opting for professional kitchen exhaust hood installation guarantees your hood system is tailored to your kitchen’s specific needs. At Red Eagle – Kitchen Hood Services LA, we specialize in providing expert installation services. Our experienced team will help you choose the right CFM and ensure your hood is installed for maximum efficiency and safety.

(designs a tiny home, frantically, feverishly) I think I need to scale back the big wants and needs for costs and reasons, but also fuck that I want EVERYTHING
#me trying to plan shit to meet safety building regulations#my list of non negotiables keeps growing....#big on kitchen space (with drawers designed the same way as my mums kitchen) with MUST for space for my coffee machine#bifold door opposite living room space that opens to the yard#bifold window from the kitchen to go along with the side door#thats a must bc if i have people over and weve got dishes that we want to move to the kitchen? thats fine just pop through the window!#but also so i can open that up for the arvo breeze while im in the kitchen#i really want a bath and i think my plan of building that partially under the stairs leading up to one of the bedrooms is going to look cute#oh also TWO BEDROOMS#one loft style one and one enclosed one#so if i ever decide i need a change for space where i sleep i can just? swap rooms?#the other room would double as storage space for my large containers and maybe as an office space if i ever needed that#i guess either the bathroom combined with space for a washing machine OR a lil hidden laundry#i like the idea of a hidden laundry bc then i can fit in a back door of sorts#to both be a second exit in case of a fire but to also be the joining doorway for when id eventually extend the house#it would happen eventually i know#this is SOOOOO ON MY BRAIN

Gosh, I feel so god damn overjoyed. After like 6 years, I visited my old job. It was a charity shop, you know, like those thrift stores whose profits go to charity. I was a volunteer there, as they hired no one for money because it was a charity shop. I quit after a year and a half because of terrible work conditions and the fact they’re rats who definitely take bits of the profits when no one’s looking. Like, for one, I’m absolutely certain the building is very flammable so how it passes the fire safety inspection is BEYOND me, There’s no heater and in the winter it’s literally colder on the inside then on the outsie. Don’t forget they’re too greedy to even keep a supply of cleaning gloves, so anyone on cleaning duty during winter was essentially screwed to clean with painfully red, aching hands that made you fear frostbite. We have a corner in the front of the store where (regular) customers and employees sit together to drink coffee. I’m pretty sure they invented this corner because of the mice in the employees kitchen. These conditions haven’t changed, but escaping the place isn’t why I’m overjoyed, NO. You see, I was mostly active on both the toys and the books departement. In my entire career working at the book departement (Reminder, about 18 months), there was this huge collection of Alistair MacLean books. Now don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against the guy, but like I said to my mom, I stared at that fucking collection week after week until I reached the point where I could throw them all on a bonfire. I begged my boss to get rid of these books, but he wouldn’t comply. No one was buying them, absolutely no one. Either he changed his mind, or a lunatic bought the entire collection. BECAUSE I COULDN’T SPOT A SINGLE ALISTAIR MACLEAN BOOK. YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSS. I feel so god damn happy to see that collection gone. I’ve got tears in my eyes, god damn it. How much I could come to loathe a novel collection........
