The pictures above were taken at a large chain that was talked into a KEC program with a National Company that subcontracts its work and requires pictures promising full compliance to NFPA96. The owner of the company told me himself that he has had this program for many years and he even claims he views them himself. These National Companies that subcontract out work are a big buyer beware. If these National Companies are bidding your KEC jobs lower than everyone else(especially the competent regional or local companies who do the jobs right), claim they are requiring pictures and checking them, and subcontract the work out to a local or regional company for even less money, the numbers do not add up. The work shown in the pictures above is an example of the type of work that you may receive at a number of your facilities. It is simple. X amount of time to do a job = Y amount of dollars that need to be charged. If a company is bidding for less than X amount needed to do the job and actually paying another company another 10-20% or more less than that, it leaves the amount of time actually spent at the job about 40% less than is really needed (Y) and since many of them use companies that simply lack the equipment to do the job in a timely manner in the first place it is actually even worse. What the Facility actually gets form their KEC is about 10-20% of the job done for about 60% of the cost. The only winner in this game is the National KEC company who gets the money off the top no matter how badly the job is done. Of course, that is only as long as the facilities are not double checking their work(Which this chain that these pictures were taken from is doing now). The pictures above were just taken yesterday on a job done within the past month as you can see by the hood sticker. As usual, We cut out the names on the sticker to protect the guilty. The question is, do you think the owner or anyone else in this national KEC company has actually looked at this job or any actual pictures of this job in the past few years? This is hard to hide even in pictures if a competent trained KEC inspector (trained in looking over pictures of systems) is looking at the pictures or the job at all. I think the pictures speak for themselves. This is not a very long system and these are taken right above the hood, the back of the fan blades, and the horizontals above the hood, plus the hood.
