Hood & Walk in Cooler Installation Services in Glendale, CA
Running a kitchen isn’t about what’s shiny and new. It’s about consistency, safety, and the ability to keep things moving—whether it’s the middle of dinner rush or mid-July. That’s where our hood and walk-in cooler installations services in Glendale, CA, help you out. Star Kitchen Supply doesn’t just drop in equipment. We engineer setups that help kitchens breathe, coolers that stay cold, and operations that stay compliant—day in and day out. We know the codes. We know the climate. And we understand what it takes to ensure your installation won’t slow you down tomorrow—or five years from now. We don’t dabble in dozens of unrelated services—we focus on what we know for commercial clients who can’t afford downtime. That includes restaurants, cafes, bakeries, bars, commercial kitchens, ghost kitchens, food prep businesses, and more.
Our work stands on two decades of real installation experience, guided by up-to-date code knowledge and tested product performance. We’ve worked through tight buildouts, last-minute upgrades, landlord restrictions, and city inspections. We don’t cut corners or reuse old tricks. We keep our methods current—and we get the job done right. Clients work with us because we speak their language. We know what a walk-in is supposed to feel like inside. We understand what a health inspector looks for and how refrigeration lines behave when the installation is rushed. We make it simple for you to get moving and to stay up and running after your shift.
Why the Details Matter
Your team moves fast. That means your systems need to respond quickly, too. Our installations are structured to reduce energy drain, simplify cleaning, and stay running even under strain.
- Grease filters with quick-latch removal: Reduce cleaning time with filters that slide out without tools—keeping airflow constant.
- Hood lighting with sealed lenses: Protects wiring from heat and grease while brightening your cookline.
- Refrigeration with expansion valve tuning: We dial refrigerant flow to match daily usage patterns, so you don’t get wide-temp swings or short cycling.
- Condensate routing with indirect drainage: Stops water pooling and keeps floor areas safe and dry, per health code standards.
- Aluminum tread plates at cooler thresholds: Installed to protect entry points from pallet traffic and rolling carts.
Why Choose Us
Fans That Don’t Drown Out the Crew
Our hoods use balanced fans that pull heat without creating noise you must shout over. This reduces tension during high-pressure kitchen hours.
Temp Stability That Protects Every Dollar
We insulate every joint and run thermal checks so you don’t toss food due to temp swings you didn’t see coming.
Lighting That Works for Storage, Not Just Looks
We install lighting that gives full walk-in visibility, even behind deep shelving. This means faster picks, fewer slips, and no missed expiry dates.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Buying new gear shouldn’t feel like a guessing game. This FAQ section breaks down those head-scratching buying questions.
The base depends on use. For heavy traffic, we often recommend insulated concrete with a vapor barrier. This prevents moisture buildup and keeps cold air from escaping through the floor.
It depends on how much inventory you store daily, how often you restock, and your product types. Overcrowded coolers don’t maintain temp well, which leads to spoilage and uneven cooling.
Yes. One common issue is poor placement—putting the hood too high or too far from the cooking line reduces smoke capture. Another is skipping make-up air, which leads to back drafting.
