Frequently Asked Questions
What are the kitchen exhaust ventilation requirements for Cathedral City restaurants?
Cathedral City restaurants are subject to California Mechanical Code requirements, NFPA 96 standards for commercial kitchen exhaust systems, and local building and health department requirements. Kitchen exhaust hoods must be properly designed, installed to code, and cleaned on a schedule based on cooking volume and fuel type. Sunlogix designs and installs compliant kitchen ventilation and can assess existing systems for current compliance status.
Do you install make-up air units for Cathedral City restaurants?
Yes. Properly sized make-up air is required to balance kitchen exhaust volume and maintain appropriate kitchen pressure. Without it, restaurants develop negative pressure conditions that create uncomfortable dining environments, affect gas appliance combustion safety, and can pull conditioned air from adjacent spaces. We size and install make-up air systems matched to your specific kitchen exhaust volume.
