Richmond Hill Hood Filters
The hood filters on your range hood work to remove grease, dirt, and other particles from the air. In essence, they trap all of the bad stuff that comes from cooking smoke and vapours. The air expelled by your range hood may be cleaned and recirculated back into your facility or extracted to the outside of your building.
Roughly speaking, if you don’t have a range hood and its filters in your kitchen, grease will build up over surfaces like countertops, cabinets, and floors over time. Additionally, the air quality in your commercial kitchen could suffer.
Hood filters in commercial kitchen exhaust systems are considered disposable or reusable. Reusable filters can be removed and cleaned, while disposable filters must just be replaced with a new one. They’re also made from varying materials, including aluminum, stainless steel, and charcoal. Aluminum is the most widely available and cheapest material used.
Regular cleaning and maintenance can’t be stressed enough – for the safety of your business and staff in Richmond Hill, ON. At Richmond Hill Hood Cleaning, we give our clientele a wide selection of hood filters. Our technician will assist in determining which type best suits your commercial kitchen facility and its needs. We’ll also install, repair, or replace any hood filter you require.

Our Fully Trained Service Technicians Follow The NFPA 96Â (National Fire Protection Association)Â Standards for Hood & Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning.
We Have The World's Most Awesome Clients
NFPA 96 for Richmond Hill Restaurants & Facilities
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) created NFPA 96 as the standard for commercial kitchen ventilation. NFPA 96 paves the way for a safe environment for guests, staff, and the restaurant by regulating grease-laden equipment and appliances.
At Richmond Hill Hood Cleaning, we operate within the NFPA 96 standard. Our trained technicians will inspect your kitchen ventilation components and ensure they meet the national fire safety codes.
We furnish a full report to inform you of any non-conformance issues we may have discovered, along with recommendations for fixing them. Before you talk to other cleaning crews in Richmond Hill, ON, be sure they follow the NFPA 96 standards. If not, the safety of your business may be at risk.

Richmond Hill Rooftop Grease Containment
By installing a filtered grease containment unit, you’re actively preventing grease buildup on your roof. The replaceable filters of the system efficiently trap grease and oils while permitting moisture, i.e., rainwater, to pass through unfettered. The captured grease stays inside the filter where it belongs.
This system makes perfect sense for restaurants and establishments that house commercial kitchens. The filtered grease containment unit keeps the rooftop clean and safe, prevents damage to the roof, and minimizes health hazards.
Just as you wouldn’t build a home without installing windows, routine maintenance and regular inspections of your grease containment system are necessary to prevent foul odours and dangerous explosions. Filters need to be changed at least twice a year, or the grease container will not be able to perform its critical task of capturing and trapping grease.
A grease containment system with a large capacity should be used in a kitchen that produces large amounts of food. A catch pan is located under the exhaust hood for those with a smaller output. However, catch pans are prone to overflow with grease and rainwater and should be avoided.
Â
Richmond Hill Exhaust Fan Hinges Installation
You must invest in an exhaust fan hinge kit for your kitchen exhaust fan to keep it in good working order. Exhaust fan hinges, or flipper door hinges, provide a better seal to prevent grease from entering the exhaust fan and ducts.
Furthermore, the hinges make it easier (and safer) for duct cleaning and maintenance personnel to access the fan for regular inspection and cleaning. Richmond Hill Hood Cleaning installs exhaust fan hinges in commercial kitchens, restaurants, and other establishments with hoods that require frequent maintenance.
We’ll help you select the appropriate hinge kit based on your kitchen layout and operations. Contact us today so we can discuss your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should you choose to have an expert clean your restaurant hood, the first thing you should keep in mind is that the cost of cleaning depends on several factors. The price varies depending on the hood system’s size, condition, and complexity.
Most jurisdictions recommend that the kitchen hood be cleaned at least once a year; however, some areas might require more frequent cleaning. It is best to check with your local fire department for their guidelines and requirements.
The hood filters over the fryers should be cleaned at least once a month to ensure proper air circulation and prevent grease build-up. We recommend cleaning your hood filters every three months for optimal results.
Aluminum filters can be cleaned using a degreaser and a sponge. Use a wire brush or scouring pad for tougher, caked-on grease deposits. Make sure to rinse thoroughly with hot water and wipe down both sides before allowing them to air dry.
Cleaning Processes
First, the exhaust system is scraped clean; however, this step is not usually necessary if the grease exhaust system has been well maintained using caustic chemicals and hot water. Secondly, the system is pressure-washed to remove any leftover debris and collect the dissolved grease and water. National Fire Protection Association gives detailed maintenance guidelines for commercial kitchen ventilation systems (NFPA). The frequency of hood plenum cleaning is contingent on the type of food being prepared and the quantity of grease-laden vapours being drawn into the kitchen. A church that primarily uses the system for special events may only require maintenance 10 times per year, but a church that has a weekly fish fry on Friday nights would require more frequent care. Typically, cleanings occur monthly, bimonthly, quarterly, semiannually, and annually. Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning is often referred to as Hood Cleaning.
Caustic Chemicals
To eliminate the grease, caustic substances may be utilised. The residue can then be eliminated with hot water rinsing. The most prevalent methods for applying chemicals are garden sprayers, chemical foamers, and pressure washers with downstream injection.
The chemicals are applied to the grease and let to sit for a time before being removed with hot water. In extreme circumstances when grease buildup is too thick for chemical application and rinsing, it may be required to use scrapers to remove excessive accumulation from contaminated surfaces prior to applying chemicals.
Hot Water Pressure-Washing
Available for use are machines that can both boil water and apply it at pressures of up to 2,000 psi (14,000 kPa). Heavy-duty tarps are attached to the hoods, and the tarps are angled into plastic garbage cans to collect rainfall. Empty cans are emptied one by one as they become full. To prevent clogging of local drains, grease should be disposed of correctly rather than just poured in. Inadequate horizontal duct cleaning may result in the buildup of excessive grease in inaccessible ductwork. After being pushed farther into the ductwork by steam cleaners, grease may build to hazardous amounts in the ducting between the hood and the fan on the roof. Before flushing the system with hot water and a caustic chemical degreaser to remove buildup from inaccessible areas, firms that employ hot water procedures should apply a caustic chemical degreaser to break down the grease.
Finishing
Typically, cleaners would polish hoods to facilitate their cleaning and maintenance. The cleaning business will post a certification sticker on the hood of each kitchen exhaust system it cleans so that the authority having jurisdiction, insurance adjusters, and health inspectors can certify that the system complies with all applicable municipal, county, and state fire regulations. Using a vinegar-and-warm-water solution, white residue from industrial kitchen grease cleaning may be removed.
Regulation
According to Standard 96 of the National Fire Protection Association, cleaning a kitchen’s exhaust system involves removing oil and other contaminants. Regular cleaning of the kitchen exhaust system is essential for fire protection in commercial kitchens. Specialized kitchen exhaust system cleaners employ high-pressure water or chemicals to eliminate grease and other contaminants. To comply with NFPA 96, the National Fire Protection Association’s Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire Protection in Commercial Kitchens, many towns require clean kitchen exhaust systems. Cleaning kitchen exhaust hoods is a specialised work that should only be performed by individuals who have gotten the necessary training and certification.
Industry Education
Associations have been formed to educate persons who clean kitchen exhaust systems on the NFPA 96 regulations and best industry practises. Voici a few examples:
The Power Washers of North America represents hood and duct cleaners in North America, while the International Kitchen Exhaust Cleaners Association represents cleaners worldwide.
