What are an extractor fan and filter?

An extractor unit comprises a fan and filter system leading into ducts. Extraction units consist of a hood and fan and include filters to capture grease particles. This unit is set above cooking areas and functions to clear heat, grease, and smoke from the air and provide a healthier and safer environment. As kitchens develop a lot of grease, this build-up could pose a major fire risk if regular cleaning isn’t undertaken. Fire safety is of paramount importance which is why extractor fan filter cleaning is vital.

Why are fan and filter cleaning important?

Fan and filter cleaning is essential for many reasons. Here’s why…

  • It effectively and thoroughly removes any grease, therefore reducing fire hazards.
  • It ensures that air is properly removed from the kitchen.
  • It reduces the likelihood of overheating and excessive humidity.
  • It allows noxious fumes from gas-burning appliances to be removed.
  • It makes sure unwanted smells are properly eradicated.

How often should fan and filter cleaning be done?

The frequency at which you should clean your fan and filter depends on how often you use your kitchen. We recommend that they must be cleaned every 12 months at a minimum. However, as it doesn’t take long for grease to build up, it should be cleaned more frequently than this.
