Ventilation Safety: Managing Grease, Airflow, and Fire Risk
Clean air isn't only about comfort—it's a safety priority. Greasy residue in extraction lines and restricted ventilation pose serious fire risks.Our systems are built with this in mind, using components that meet fire safety and ventilation standards.
Certified Installation of Ventilation and Gas Interlock Systems
Our HVAC ventilation engineers are fully qualified to install systems that integrate gas interlock panels, which automatically cut off gas flow if the ventilation system fails.This is a mandatory safety measure under UK kitchen regulations.
