A vent hood pulls smoke, steam and grease out of your kitchen. Left alone, it clogs with grease, loses suction, wears out the motor and becomes a fire risk.
Our technicians clean and repair wall-mounted, island, under-cabinet and insert hoods.
Types we work on
- Wall-mounted

Maintenance tips
- Clean or replace the grease filter
- Soak metal filters in hot water with degreaser and baking soda, then brush them clean — or run them through the dishwasher if they’re dishwasher-safe. Replace charcoal filters.
- Have the duct cleaned
- A professional duct cleaning prevents grease buildup and fire risk.
- Clean the blower wheel
- Grease on the wheel hurts performance and strains the motor.
- Wipe down the hood
- A grease-free surface keeps dust and debris from sticking.
