Exhaust Fan Cleaning

Exhaust fan cleaning removes grease buildup from rooftop and inline fans that are critical components of commercial kitchen ventilation systems. Grease accumulates on fan blades, housings, and motor components, reducing airflow efficiency and creating a significant fire hazard at the top of the exhaust system. During cleaning, technicians disassemble fan components, degrease blades and housings using commercial solvents, inspect belts and bearings for wear, and reassemble the unit to manufacturer specifications. NFPA 96 (the National Fire Protection Association standard governing commercial kitchen exhaust systems) requires the entire exhaust system, including fans, to be maintained on prescribed cleaning schedules. Neglected exhaust fans can cause grease to drip onto roof surfaces, creating additional fire risk and potential environmental violations. Most hood cleaning services include exhaust fan cleaning as part of a complete system service. Find providers who service exhaust fans in our certified company directory.
