Hood Filter Cleaning and Exchange Services
Filters are cheap to keep clean and expensive to ignore. A clogged bank works like a dirty air filter in your car: the fan pulls harder, less smoke leaves the kitchen, and more grease ends up in the duct. Pick the option that fits how your kitchen cooks.
On-Site Filter Cleaning
On every hood cleaning visit, we pull each filter, degrease it in a dedicated cleaning unit and put it back once it's dry.
This is the simplest option for kitchens on a quarterly or semi-annual schedule. The filters come back to bare metal along with the rest of the hood.
Filter Exchange Program
Busy fry and grill kitchens load filters faster than a quarterly cleaning can keep up. With an exchange, we show up with a set of pre-cleaned filters, swap them in and take the dirty ones with us.
There's no wait for filters to dry and no downtime for the line. It takes minutes, not hours.
Damaged and Warped Filter Replacement
Filters that have been dropped, bent or warped by heat leave gaps around the edges. Grease-laden air takes the easy route through those gaps and goes straight into the duct.
We replace damaged filters so the bank seals properly. Your report notes how many were swapped and why.
Filters for Fryer and Charbroil Lines
Fryers, charbroilers and woks coat the filters above them much faster than an oven or steam table does. It isn't unusual for one section of a hood to need twice the attention of the rest.
We'll suggest an exchange schedule based on what you cook and how much, not a calendar date.
Hood Filter Service, Visit by Visit
Step 1: Count and Measure
We note how many filters you have, their sizes and their condition, so the right replacements are on the truck.
Step 2: Pull or Swap
On a cleaning visit, filters come out for degreasing. On an exchange visit, clean filters go in and the dirty ones leave with us.
Step 3: Check the Fit
Each filter has to sit tight in its track. Bent or missing filters get replaced so air can't slip past the bank.
Step 4: Write It Up
Your service record notes the date, filter count and any replacements, so it lines up with your hood cleaning paperwork.

Hood Filter Cleaning FAQs
Filters dripping or going dark between cleanings? Call (XXX) XXX-XXXX to set up an exchange.
It depends on what's cooking. Fryer and grill lines often need attention far more often than their full-system cleanings, which is why exchange programs exist. A clean filter looks like bare metal. If yours look brown or sticky, or grease is dripping from the bottom edge, they're overdue. We'll look at yours on the first visit and recommend a schedule.
Many kitchens rinse filters in-house between visits, and that helps. A soak in a hot sink won't reach bare metal the way a dedicated degreasing unit does, though. We still clean them properly on every hood service.
Cleaning means your own filters come out, get degreased and go back in during a full hood visit. Exchange means we bring clean filters and take your dirty ones away, so there's no wait and no downtime.
Yes. Warped, bent or punctured filters leave gaps that let grease reach the duct, so we replace them and note the count on your report.
Mesh filters made for home range hoods are generally not accepted for commercial cooking hoods. Your filters need to be listed grease filters that fit your hood. Ask us when we visit and we'll check what you have.
On-site cleaning is part of your full-system price. Exchange pricing depends on filter count, size and how often we swap. You'll get it in writing before we start.
