Hot Dog King no disrespect meant "call your building inspector may recommend a local company". IMHO they better not. That would be illegal as hell unless they gave you a list of all of the people in your area that did that kind of work. But another thought DON"T just go to one company and have them do the work, or it’ll cost an arm and you re first born. I bought my entire contents of my trailer online through EBay. Including the fire suppression system and exhaust hood, including the exhaust motor. My local company wanted (I got 3 bids) $1800.00 $2400.00 and $3000.00 just for the exhaust motor and I bought if from (I’m not involved with this company in any way) http://www.ventilationdirect.com/ for less than $500.00 including shipping. Then I had my local company install it. If you can get the work done in Jan or Feb or even March and you live in the Snow Belt you ll find greatly reduced labor rates because most of these type shops are very slow because of the weather. Call some restaurants in your area and ask who does their fire suppression work and for sure call or go talk to a school cafeteria manager and ask him or her. Schools are notorious for being cheap and finding the best prices for this type of annual inspection and work. If they don’t want to share the information with you ask for a tour of their kitchen. The company name will be on the inspection tag. LOL
