Hood canopy
The visible capture area above the cooking equipment.
Normal cleaning scope
Know which parts of the system are included
Commercial vent hood cleaning should address more than the polished surfaces a customer can see from the cooking line. The normal scope follows the exhaust path through the accessible system.
Plenum and filters
The area behind the filters and the removable filters in the hood.
Accessible grease duct
Reachable sections of the grease-laden-vapor exhaust path.
Exhaust fan
The fan that moves kitchen exhaust to the discharge point.
The complete exhaust path
The visible hood is one part of the system
Grease-laden vapors move from the hood through the plenum and grease duct before reaching the exhaust fan and discharge area. Cleaning only the canopy does not describe the normal commercial scope.
System layout and access openings determine which duct sections can be reached. The quote should account for the actual route and the conditions at the property.
Service records
Documentation after the cleaning
American Vent Hood Pros provides records that help the operator document the completed service and retain the information with other facility files.

Conditions that help define the request
A useful quote starts with the system rather than a generic schedule. Cooking load, visible buildup, service history, duct access, and the property layout can affect the work involved.
Applicable requirements and the condition found at the system can also influence when cleaning is needed. The page does not use one interval as a universal schedule for every Austin kitchen.

Cleaning or repair
Operating problems need a separate repair request
Fan failure, unusual noise, weak capture, damaged ductwork, control problems, and make-up air problems may require repair rather than cleaning alone.
