Why NFPA 96 Cleaning is the Fire Code You Can't Ignore
Every year, more than 300 fires in commercial buildings are caused by dirty air ducts. That's a fire every 24 minutes, according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). And while these aren't the most devastating types of fires (most are caused by cooking equipment), they're entirely preventable.
The key? NFPA 96 cleaning. It's the fire code you can't ignore. But what is it, exactly? And why is it so important that restaurants, schools, and property managers across Western Massachusetts and Northern Connecticut are calling their local duct cleaners to ensure compliance?
NFPA 96 is a set of standards developed by the NFPA to help prevent fires caused by cooking equipment and grease. It's not just about cleaning air ducts; it's about inspecting, maintaining, and restoring HVAC systems to ensure that they're operating safely and efficiently. And while many businesses think they can get away with DIY cleanings or hiring a non-certified company, the truth is that only NADCA-certified companies have the training and expertise needed to follow these standards properly.
