OUR SERVICES
Commercial Kitchen Ventilation & Hood Installation Since 1980
When a kitchen fails inspection, loses airflow, or overheats during service, it does more than slow operations. It leads to lost revenue and safety risks for staff. At CRS Hoods, we help restaurant owners and commercial kitchens across Delaware prevent shutdowns, pass inspections confidently, and maintain safe, efficient working environments.
With over four decades of hands-on experience, we design and install code-compliant commercial hood and ventilation systems built to handle real kitchen demand while delivering reliable long-term performance.
Proudly serving Smyrna, Wilmington, Dover, Newark, and surrounding Delaware communities. Contact CRS Hoods today to schedule an inspection or discuss your ventilation project.
Our Commercial Kitchen Ventilation Services
We provide complete commercial kitchen ventilation solutions across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, and across Delaware. Review our services below to find the right fit for your kitchen setup and inspection requirements.
Commercial Type I Hood Installation
For fryers, grills, ranges, charbroilers & grease-producing equipment
If grease and smoke aren’t being captured properly, kitchens overheat, air quality drops, and inspections fail.
We design and install Type I commercial hood systems in Delaware that meet NFPA 96 fire safety standards and the International Mechanical Code (IMC), ensuring safe removal of grease, smoke, and heat while keeping your kitchen inspection-ready.
Commercial Type II Hood Installation (Steam & Heat Exhaust)
For dishwashers, bakeries, prep stations & moisture-heavy equipment
Condensation buildup and lingering steam make kitchens uncomfortable and can damage equipment over time. We install Type II commercial hoods in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, and across Delaware that properly remove heat and moisture without over-ventilating your space.
Commercial Exhaust Fan Installation, Replacement & Emergency Repair
For restaurants dealing with airflow problems or sudden fan failures
Even a properly installed hood will fail if the exhaust fan isn’t pulling correctly. Many restaurant owners don’t realize their fan performance is off until the kitchen overheats or inspections fail. We provide commercial exhaust fan installation and emergency exhaust fan repair in Delaware, including performance adjustments that keep airflow consistent year-round.
Make-Up Air Unit (MUA) Installation & Kitchen Air Balancing
For kitchens with negative pressure, smoke backflow, or comfort issues
If your hood is exhausting air but your make-up air system isn’t keeping up, doors become hard to open, smoke drifts back into the kitchen, and HVAC performance suffers. We install and balance make-up air units for commercial kitchens in Delaware so your ventilation system functions as a complete system, not just separate components.
Welded Grease Duct Fabrication & Commercial Ductwork Installation
CRS Hoods provides welded grease duct fabrication in Smyrna, DE and across Delaware, built to meet NFPA 96 and International Mechanical Code (IMC) standards.
We hold the required professional licenses and brings over 40 years of fabrication experience, delivering durable, code-compliant duct systems with proper airflow and leak-resistant grease containment.
Fire Suppression System Integration & Inspection Coordination
For new builds and kitchens preparing for final inspection
Coordinating hood installation and fire suppression can delay openings when contractors aren’t aligned. We integrate hood systems with licensed fire suppression partners so your project moves forward smoothly and is ready for inspection.
Restaurant Hood Replacement, System Upgrades & Remodel Support
For renovations, expansions & equipment changes
When kitchens evolve, ventilation systems must evolve with them. We redesign ventilation for restaurant remodel projects in Delaware to ensure your new layout remains compliant and functional.
Food Truck Hood Installation Services
For mobile kitchens with limited space
Food trucks have strict space and code constraints. We design food truck hood systems that maximize airflow without wasting valuable space.
