Included in your hood-cleaning service
Your service combines exhaust cleaning with the maintenance items that help keep the system working properly:
- Fan-belt replacement: replacement of worn belts on belt-driven fans when needed.
- Fan lubrication: lubrication of serviceable components according to the equipment’s requirements.
- Make-up air filter cleaning: cleaning of washable intake filters that supply replacement air to the kitchen.
- Rooftop grease catchers: grease containment at the rooftop exhaust fan to help collect grease discharge.
These items are included in your hood-cleaning service. The walkthrough confirms which components apply to your installed equipment, and the work follows the manufacturer’s requirements.
Know what was cleaned. See the results.
Every hood-cleaning service includes before-and-after component photographs and a written service report. Your report connects the work to your actual exhaust system and identifies:
- Completed work: the hood, filters, duct sections, and fan areas cleaned.
- Before-and-after photographs: identifiable component views documenting the work.
- Access limitations: inaccessible or uncleaned areas and the reason they need attention.
- Follow-up needs: items requiring further access, repair review, or additional service.
Keep the report with your property’s maintenance records so your team can refer to the completed work and plan follow-up. Any inaccessible section is identified in the report.
Your hood, filters, ducts, and fan form one system
Grease travels with cooking exhaust. Cleaning the connected system requires attention to the canopy, filters, duct route, and discharge fan, along with the access needed to reach them.
Hood and canopy Cleaning of grease-bearing hood surfaces and collection areas above the cooking line.
Grease filters Cleaning of removable filters and the surrounding areas included in your scope. Filter condition and replacement needs are reviewed separately.
Exhaust ductwork Cleaning of the connected duct route through available access. Duct configuration, changes in direction, and concealed sections are reviewed when defining the work.
Exhaust fan Cleaning of the fan’s grease-bearing surfaces, with fan location and safe access included in planning.
The walkthrough establishes the system boundaries and access requirements. Your service report records completed work and any areas that remain inaccessible or uncleaned.
Certified technicians. A documented service.
Our team’s qualifications include MFS Trade School certification as Kitchen Exhaust Hood Cleaning Technicians and Kitchen Exhaust Hood Cleaning Inspectors. Only certified technicians perform our hood-cleaning and kitchen exhaust inspection work.
Renue Systems of Oahu follows NFPA 96 cleaning standards. We connect that work to a defined scope and a written record of the system’s condition, cleaning, and follow-up needs.
The Honolulu Fire Department’s commercial-kitchen guidance emphasizes documented inspections and cleaning. Keep exhaust-cleaning records available alongside the other maintenance records for your property. Fire-suppression servicing and repairs beyond the included belt and lubrication work are separate scopes.
Clean make-up air filters support efficient ventilation
Your kitchen exhaust system needs replacement air. As make-up air filters collect dirt, resistance increases and airflow can suffer. Keeping washable filters clean helps maintain airflow and supports efficient ventilation, which is why we include this work with hood cleaning.
The U.S. Department of Energy identifies filter cleanliness as a factor in fan performance and notes the pressure drops and energy losses associated with clogged filters. The effect on your electricity bill depends on the system and operating conditions; a specific savings figure requires measurements from your property.

Plan the cleaning around your next service
1. Review the system. We assess the hood and connected exhaust route, available access, buildup, and your operating hours.
2. Define the work. Your proposal sets out the cleaning scope and access arrangements. Discuss equipment cooling, roof access, shutdown requirements, and the next prep shift before scheduling.
3. Clean and maintain the system. Certified technicians perform the hood and exhaust cleaning following NFPA 96 standards, along with the included maintenance items applicable to your equipment.
4. Review the record. Receive before-and-after component photographs and a written report of completed work, limitations, and follow-up needs.
After-hours scheduling and the required work window are confirmed for your property.

System count, hood size, grease buildup, duct configuration, fan access, roof conditions, and working hours affect the scope and price. A walkthrough helps us prepare a quote that reflects the work your property needs.
Start with your Oahu property address, contact details, and whether you need exhaust cleaning, kitchen deep cleaning, or both. If available, include the number of hoods, previous cleaning date, photographs, and your preferred working window.
Oahu hood-cleaning questions
Do you clean the exhaust ducts and fan?
Yes. Our exhaust-cleaning service covers the hood, grease filters, connected ductwork, and exhaust fan. We review access before the job and identify any inaccessible or uncleaned areas in the written report.
Are your technicians certified?
Yes. Only certified technicians perform our hood-cleaning and kitchen exhaust inspection work. Our team’s qualifications include MFS Trade School certification in kitchen exhaust hood cleaning and inspection.
Do I receive photographs and a service report?
Yes. Every hood-cleaning service includes before-and-after component photos and a written report identifying completed work, inaccessible areas, and follow-up needs.
How often does our kitchen exhaust system need service?
The schedule depends on cooking activity, operating volume, grease accumulation, and the requirements that apply to your property. Honolulu Fire Department’s published guidance describes inspection and cleaning at least every six months, with more frequent cleaning where buildup warrants it. Confirm the appropriate interval for your system. Read the HFD guidance.
Can you clean outside our cooking hours?
Discuss your final cooking service, equipment cooling time, and next prep shift during the walkthrough. After-hours scheduling and the required shutdown are confirmed for the system and scope.
Are belts, lubrication, make-up air filters, and rooftop grease catchers included?
Yes. Our hood service includes fan-belt replacement when needed, lubrication of serviceable components, cleaning of washable make-up air filters, and rooftop grease catchers. We confirm the applicable equipment and access during the walkthrough.
Will make-up air filter cleaning lower our electricity bill?
It can help avoid energy losses associated with dirty filters, but the electricity effect depends on the system and its controls. We include filter cleaning to support airflow and efficient operation. A specific savings figure requires a measured comparison for your property.
Does hood cleaning include the rest of the kitchen?
Kitchen deep cleaning is a separate scope that can be included in the same Oahu proposal. Specify whether you need exhaust cleaning, kitchen deep cleaning, or both.
Does the service include fire-suppression maintenance?
Fire-suppression servicing, installation, and repairs beyond the included belt and lubrication work are separate scopes. Exhaust cleaning does not replace those services or the authority’s inspection of your property.
