FAQ’s
How much does the Kitchen Filter Exchange Service cost, and how often is it done?
Our Filter Exchange Service typically ranges from $150.00 to $350.00 per visit. The exact cost depends on the number of filters your hood requires and your preferred service frequency. Most busy commercial kitchens opt for a weekly or bi-weekly exchange to maintain optimal airflow and fire safety, though we also offer monthly schedules based on your cooking volume.
Are the filters included in the price, or do I have to buy my own?
The filters are completely included! With our exchange service, you don’t need to buy or own any hood filters. We provide a fully clean, heavy-duty set of stainless steel or aluminum filters during our first visit. On every subsequent scheduled visit, we simply swap out your dirty filters for a fresh, commercially degreased set, saving you the upfront cost of buying inventory and the hassle of cleaning them yourself.
