Comprehensive Hood Suppression System Design and Installation
Commercial kitchens face a higher risk of fire, especially from grease and oil. That’s why hood suppression systems are essential. These systems detect flames or excessive heat, then quickly release a fire-suppressing agent — cutting off the fire’s fuel source and extinguishing flames before they spread.
At Acom, we go beyond “standard installs.” Our technicians design tailored hood suppression systems that match your kitchen’s layout, cooking equipment, and compliance requirements. From design and permitting to installation and warranty coverage, we deliver a complete solution that keeps your business protected and inspection-ready.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is a Hood Suppression System, and How Does It Work?
A hood suppression system is a fire-prevention system designed to detect and suppress fires. Located in the kitchen hood, these systems are primarily used in commercial kitchen hoods.
The system has a basic activation process (automatic or manual) in which a chemical agent is released as soon as a fire is detected. These chemical agents are quick and efficient in extinguishing grease or oil fires and preventing the flames from spreading further.
Does My Commercial Kitchen Need a Hood Suppression System?
Local fire codes require a UL 300-compliant suppression system for most commercial kitchens. Compliance, insurance, and safety should all be top concerns when installing a hood suppression system, as grease fires can be extremely dangerous. Acom always helps clients meet local and national regulations when installing new systems.
How Often Does a Hood Suppression System Need Maintenance?
Typically, inspections are required every six months, but local fire codes may vary. Acom provides ongoing inspections, testing, and service to keep systems compliant and ready to activate when needed.
Can Acom Upgrade or Replace My Existing System?
Absolutely. We specialize in upgrading outdated or non-compliant systems to meet today’s UL 300 standards. Our team evaluates your current setup and recommends the best path forward for safety and compliance.
