WHY CHOOSE US

We are dedicated to cleaning and maintaining your entire commercial kitchen hood system including:

HOODS (CANOPIES)

Kitchen hoods are the most visible to your customers and are the closest to cooking flames. Our team ensures all loose grease and any early signs of burning are removed to prevent heavy carbon build up, and keep your team safe.

DUCT WORK

Ducts are the least visible section of your commercial kitchen, but often the most important, as they remove hazardous grease (fuel) build-up. Our teams remove all grease to meet key health and quality standards.

EXHAUST FANS

Often, exhaust fans are not visible. However, they remove steam and vapour, which means they also retain grease build up. Our team specialises in removing, cleaning and maintaining your exhaust fans all year round with no costly cooking shutdowns.

FAQ

Find your answer

How often should I clean my HVAC system?-+

The frequency of cleaning depends on the type of facility and the usage of the HVAC system. In general, it is recommended, if not essential for compliance, to have your system inspected and cleaned at least once a year, but some facilities may require more frequent cleaning, such as those with high volume cooking or those involved in food production.  Very high volume, high grease output (i.e. burger) establishments may require monthly cleaning of key parts, if not all, of their kitchen exhaust system.

What certifications and qualifications do your technicians have? -+

We ensure that all our team members hold the necessary safety certifications and qualifications to perform their job safely and efficiently, to ensure your safety and the ongoing longevity of your systems. Our technicians are extensively trained to work on HVAC systems in commercial and industrial facilities and complete work to the necessary standards (i.e. AS 1851-2012). We have senior staff members trained and certified with the leading International Air Duct Cleaning body (NADCA)

What does the air duct cleaning process involve?-+

Our duct cleaning process involves a thorough inspection of the HVAC system, including the ducts, coils, and filters. We use specialized tools and equipment to remove any contaminants, such as dust, dirt, bacteria, and mold. We also clean the entire system, including the fans, grilles, and diffusers.
