L & H Services Inc. provides professional commercial cooking equipment maintenance programs throughout Beecher, IL and surrounding communities. Regular maintenance keeps your kitchen safe, efficient, and running without interruption.
Commercial cooking equipment operates under extreme conditions—high temperatures, heavy daily use, constant exposure to grease and food debris, and the demanding requirements of maintaining consistent output during peak service hours. Without regular maintenance, these harsh conditions accelerate wear and lead to premature failures.
Clogged burners reduce heating efficiency and create uneven cooking, worn ignition systems cause unreliable startups, incorrect gas pressure wastes fuel and affects food quality, and grease buildup creates serious fire hazards. Regular professional maintenance addresses all of these issues before they become expensive problems or safety risks.
Maintenance customers also receive priority scheduling for any repairs needed, meaning less kitchen downtime if a problem does occur. Our detailed service reports track your equipment's condition over time, helping you plan for future replacement and budget accordingly.
We also provide commercial cooking equipment installation and commercial cooking equipment repair services. For other commercial maintenance, see our rooftop unit maintenance and refrigeration maintenance pages.

Most commercial cooking equipment should be professionally maintained at least quarterly. High-volume kitchens with heavy daily use may benefit from monthly service visits. The right schedule depends on your equipment type, usage volume, and operating hours. We'll assess your kitchen and recommend the ideal maintenance frequency for each piece of equipment.
Our comprehensive maintenance visits include burner cleaning and adjustment, ignition system service, gas pressure testing, thermostat calibration, safety control testing, grease buildup removal, door gasket inspection, electrical connection tightening, and a complete equipment performance evaluation. We provide a detailed service report after each visit documenting all findings and recommendations.
Maintenance program costs depend on the number and type of equipment, required service frequency, and any additional services needed. We provide customized quotes based on your specific kitchen setup. The investment typically pays for itself through gas savings, prevented emergency repairs, and avoided kitchen downtime that would cost you revenue.
Regular maintenance delivers multiple benefits: reduced gas and energy costs through optimized performance, fewer unexpected breakdowns during service hours, extended equipment lifespan, consistent cooking temperatures for food quality, improved fire safety through grease removal and gas system checks, and documented service records for health inspections and warranty protection.
Absolutely. We understand that kitchen downtime directly affects your revenue. We schedule maintenance visits during your off-hours—early mornings, between service periods, or on closed days—to minimize disruption to your operations. For kitchens with multiple pieces of equipment, we can stagger service so you never lose full cooking capacity.
Gas safety testing is one of the most critical components of commercial cooking equipment maintenance. We verify gas pressure levels, check all connections for leaks, test safety shut-off valves, and ensure flame safeguard controls are functioning properly. These checks protect your staff, customers, and property from potential gas-related hazards.
Burners accumulate carbon deposits, food debris, and grease over time, which restricts gas flow and creates uneven flame patterns. Dirty burners waste gas, produce inconsistent cooking temperatures, and can cause ignition problems. Professional burner cleaning restores proper flame characteristics, improves heating efficiency, and ensures your equipment cooks food evenly and reliably.
Grease buildup is both a performance and safety concern. Accumulated grease reduces heating efficiency, causes unpleasant odors, and creates a significant fire hazard. In burner areas, grease can block ports and affect flame patterns. Our maintenance includes thorough grease removal from internal components, drip trays, and critical areas that daily cleaning may not reach.
Yes, we maintain all major brands and types of commercial cooking equipment including ranges, ovens, fryers, steamers, griddles, broilers, and charbroilers. Whether your equipment was installed by us or another company, we service it all.
