EXCEPTIONAL KITCHEN EXHAUST CLEANING IN SYDNEY, NEWCASTLE, WOLLONGONG & SURROUNDS

Why is Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning So Important?

The cooking process often leaves greasy residue on the inside of ductwork. The heat removed by the exhaust system heats this residue, which causes a fire hazard. The three elements required for a fire are air, fuel and heat.

 

These three factors are present in the exhaust system, just waiting to ignite. A simple flare-up while cooking is all it may take. You may extinguish a fire in your cooking area, but the flare-up can also ignite the grease in the ductwork. This is not as easy to extinguish as the ductwork usually disappears into the ceiling cavity.

 

Residue in the exhaust ductwork can potentially be a food source for vermin, who enter the ductwork when it is not operational. All these problems can send your business into a downward financial spiral.

Why Is HVAC Cleaning So Important?

What is the internal condition of your HVAC system? Your HVAC system is said to be the 'lungs' of your building. Air conditioning ducts are usually concealed out of sight. It filters the air, controls temperature and humidity and exchanges stale air for fresh air. Therefore, a dirty HVAC system restricts your building's ability to breathe and may even be infected. Indoor air quality is critical. It provides us with a safe, comfortable environment. Indoor air is often polluted, but we can help.

​

Any surface within a building will accumulate dust when left uncleaned. This dust consists of bacteria, mould spores, pollen, dust mites, building material, pet hair, cooking oils, soot, paper and other particulate matter. Air moving through the air conditioning system will redistribute the contaminants back into the rooms we occupy.

​

  • It is estimated that the average 140 square metre home generates 18 kilogrammes of dust per year.

  • 10mm of dust in your ductwork can reduce efficiency by up to 21%.

​

A professional duct clean can easily add benefits to your building's health and the operational costs of HVAC systems. The following are some of the benefits:

  • Improves indoor air quality

  • Healthier employees

  • More productive employees

  • Provides mitigation

  • Reduced allergy symptoms

  • Reduced asthma

  • Efficient, clean ductwork

  • Decreased operation cost – reduces equipment's workload.

  • Improved airflow – the removal of contaminants from ductwork reduces flow resistance.

In Summary

  • Healthier indoor air quality

  • Reduces allergy pollutants - mould, dust and mites

  • Removes odours

  • Provides mitigation

  • Brings peace of mind to you and your employees

  • Lower electrical costs

  • Improved equipment efficiency

  • Improved operating capacity
