PLACENTIA AND LOS ANGELES, CA— A restaurant kitchen can be a miserable place to work if it isn’t properly ventilated.

Sweltering heat and lingering smoke are sure signs that a commercial kitchen isn’t pulling in fresh air and pumping out hot air effectively, said Massoud Farazandeh, chief executive officer of APS-Hoods, a Santa Ana hood sales company. The headquarters for APS-Hoods is located in Colorado, but the company opened a Placentia fabrication plant in August of last year in an effort to better address the increasing demand for Santa Ana hood installations, as well as its other services throughout California.

“Our job is to ensure that ‘hot and smokey’ describes only food in restaurants, not kitchen conditions,” Farazandeh said.

APS-Hoods is headquartered in Colorado, but opened a fabrication plant in Placentia in August 2009 to address the growing demand for Santa Ana hood installations and its other services throughout California.

PLACENTIA AND LOS ANGELES, CA— American Professional Services (APS-Hoods) is reminding restaurants and other commercial eating establishments that they may need to schedule an additional hood cleaning this time of year.

Many restaurants experience increased sales around the holidays as people opt to purchase baked hams or fried or smoked turkeys for Thanksgiving, Christmas and other December holidays, rather than make their own at home.

“A lot of our Glendale hood cleaning clients that specialize in smoking or frying turkeys get inundated with business around Thanksgiving,” said Massoud Farazandeh, chief executive officer of APS-Hoods, a Los Angeles and Glendale hood sales company. “Because of that, it is wise for them to schedule a hood cleaning right now to prepare for the next spike, which will be closer to Christmas.” (more…)

PLACENTIA AND LOS ANGELES, CA— This is the time of year when lots of families plan for big meals at home.

To save some time in the kitchen, many people opt to order their main course items, such as turkeys and hams, from a restaurant rather than make it at home themselves.

This is great news for restaurants, particularly in a struggling economy, but it means that restaurant owners and managers also must be mindful of their hood cleaning schedules, said Massoud Farazandeh, chief executive officer of APS-Hoods, a company that provides Los Angeles and Victorville, CA hood cleaning services, as well as hood services throughout the entire state of California.

APS-Hoods also offers Victorville, CA hood sales and hood installation services.

“A lot of business owners can relate to the idea that at this time of year, it’s difficult to do anything more than simply manage their restaurants because this time of year is so busy,” he said. “But ignoring routine hood cleanings or additional hood cleanings due to increased cooking volume could spell disaster.”

Grease and residue that are left to accumulate in kitchen hoods, ducts and fan systems creates a fire hazard.

PLACENTIA, CA— When it comes to commercial kitchen hood installation and cleaning, professionalism and quality are paramount, according to one Los Angeles and Apple Valley hood Installation Company.

That is why, three months after opening its satellite location in Placentia, CA, American Professional Services (APS-Hoods) continues to train professional managers, installers and cleaners on how a quality hood sales, cleaning and installation business is run, said Massoud Farazandeh, chief executive officer of APS-Hoods.

PLACENTIA AND LOS ANGELES, CA— American Professional Services (APS-Hoods) has seen its Los Angeles, CA hood sales, cleaning and installation work double in the three months since the company opened its Placentia, CA satellite location.

APS-Hoods opened the Placentia location in August to better address the increasing demand for Los Angeles, CA hood cleaning services, as well as calls for service throughout the state, said Massoud Farazandeh, the company’s chief executive officer.

The APS marketing team has been monitoring the rate of new hood cleaning jobs in the Colorado cities of Boulder, Longmont, and Fort Collins. Its findings show that APS was the most popular restaurant exhaust hood cleaning company for these cities in the past three months. For Boulder hood cleaning in particular, APS showed a 15 % increase in its new customer base. This is despite issues such as the poor economy, and restaurants cutting back on hood cleaning services.

Just last week when an APS hood cleaning crew was servicing a new account in Boulder, it collected 27 liters of hardened grease from inside the duct system. Once shown to the customer, the gentleman was in awe. He had been getting his hoods cleaned regularly by another company for the past 15 years. “It’s easy to only clean the areas immediately noticeable, and many unethical companies reduce their cost by not properly removing grease from the interior of the system.” said Mr. Farazandeh, the company’s chief executive.

Fort Collins hood cleaning jobs have also increased by over 10 percent in the past three months, while exhaust hood cleaning was up by about 12% in Longmont Colorado. APS director of marketing, Hossein Hashemi believes this to be due to the most effective form of marketing, word of mouth. “APS services are now viral.” He said. “Our customers are finding other customers for us. We know this because our referral rates are also up. This is especially true for Longmont, Fort Collins, Loveland, and Boulder hood cleaning.” He added.

The company believes there to be a direct correlation between its growth and its code of ethics. APS-hoods takes pride in being Colorado’s most trusted hood cleaning company.
