Why ClearPath
The most experienced ventilation team in the country. Now available as a service.
The commercial kitchen ventilation industry has a staffing problem, not a product problem. Equipment is widely available. What's rare is the expertise to engineer it correctly, install it without errors, and see a project through from initial design to final inspection.
ClearPath brings together decades of hands-on ventilation experience under one roof — available for installation, consulting, BIM coordination, and full turnkey delivery.
Our model is simple: installation and consulting first, equipment second. We engage on your terms — and we own the outcome.

Who We Work With
We work with the people who manage all the moving parts.

GCs absorb more ventilation-related issues than anyone. ClearPath takes that burden off your plate — one accountable party, under one contract.
Foodservice Consultants
We work alongside your design team for ventilation path definition, BIM coordination, and installation.
Architects
We engage early so ventilation is designed in — not retrofitted around already-placed equipment.
Dealers
ClearPath is not a competitor. We make your equipment sales stickier and your projects smoother.
Mechanical Contractors
A subcontractor you can trust to run the full kitchen ventilation scope — installation, fire protection, and controls — without it coming back to you.

Commercial Kitchen Ventilation Done Right the First Time
We vet and deploy trusted field crews and take full ownership of every install. When ClearPath is on a project, there's no finger-pointing — we're the accountable party from scope definition through final sign-off. Hoods, duct work, exhaust systems: we own the whole path.

Turnkey + Electrical
Factory-Wired Systems, Limited Coordination Overhead and Reduced RFIs
Factory-wired systems that eliminate the need for separate electrical and control contractors. We deliver systems that arrive on-site wired, tested, and ready — cutting out an entire layer of scheduling, communication, and liability that typically lands on the GC.
