Exhaust Fan Maintenance Essentials
Regular maintenance of commercial kitchen exhaust fans is crucial for fire prevention, optimal air quality, and equipment longevity. Professional maintenance combines thorough inspections, cleaning protocols, and swift issue resolution to keep systems running efficiently.
Assessing Your Exhaust Fan
We recommend inspecting exhaust fans monthly for visible signs of wear, unusual noises, or decreased performance. Checking belt tension and alignment helps prevent unexpected breakdowns.
Look for grease buildup around fan blades and housing – this indicates cleaning is needed immediately.
Key inspection points include:
- Motor bearings and lubrication
- Belt condition and tension
- Fan blade balance and cleanliness
- Mounting brackets and fasteners
- Electrical connections and controls
Routine Cleaning Procedures
We start by disconnecting power and removing accumulated grease from fan blades using commercial degreasers. Each cleaning session requires thorough attention to all components.
The cleaning process includes:
- Degreasing fan blades and housing
- Washing filters and capture hoods
- Clearing grease collection trays
- Cleaning ductwork connections
Professional cleaners use specialized tools and EPA-approved cleaning solutions for optimal results.
Identifying Common Issues
Early problem detection prevents costly repairs and system failures. Strange noises often signal bearing problems or loose components.
Common exhaust fan problems include:
- Excessive vibration
- Reduced airflow
- Motor overheating
- Belt wear or misalignment
- Grease buildup
We document all maintenance issues and repairs to track system performance over time. This helps identify recurring problems that may require parts replacement.
