Frequent Questions
How long does a hood system cleaning take?
On average the cleaning for a hood system would be between 3-5 hours. This can vary based on size of the system, number or hoods or rooftop fans, location and logistics required to properly service.
How do I know that the entire system was serviced?
Our technicians take before and after pictures of everything we clean. Those can be sent to you via email on request. Our technicians also leave behind a detailed service report that includes our recommendations.
How often does a hood system need cleaned?Â
Most restaurants and commercial kitchens are serviced on a quarterly basis. Any system with solid fuel for cooking will need to be serviced monthly. Kitchens with less build up like schools, churches , seasonal locations can be serviced once a year.
Do I have to be on site for the entire cleaning?
No, you can have a key for us to pick up before and we will leave it with invoice. You can also make us a key that we have safely monitored. You can also let our technician know how to let himself out if you prefer that method.
Are Filters included in the price?
The cleaning does not include the filters unless specifically requested for an additional fee as that is normally the responsibility of the kitchen staff.
