Commercial Hood Cleaning Services in Oshawa
Oshawa Hood Cleaning is a commercial kitchen exhaust contractor with four services: hood cleaning for the canopy, filters and plenum, kitchen exhaust cleaning for the duct run and riser, exhaust fan repair and installation on the roof, and commercial kitchen deep cleaning for the room underneath. The first three follow the published NFPA 96 standard that the Ontario Fire Code references. The fourth answers to the Durham Region Health Department. This page matches the symptom in the kitchen to the page that fixes it, so the free walk-through starts in the right place. Single-hood kitchens start at $385 per visit.
Which hood cleaning service does the kitchen need?
The symptom is a better starting point than the service name. This is the table the walk-through follows.
| What the kitchen is showing | Symptom vs the page that answers it |
|---|---|
| Grease drips from the canopy edge onto the line | The plenum behind the filters is full. Hood cleaning services clears the canopy, filters and plenum together. |
| Filters come out of the dish machine still coated | A dish cycle cannot strip baked-on grease. Hood cleaning services covers the soak-tank method and filter replacement. |
| An inspector or insurer asked for a certificate covering the whole system | A hood-only record leaves the duct undocumented. Kitchen exhaust cleaning is the scope that covers the run and the riser. |
| The unit shares a duct riser with the neighbours in a plaza | One tenant cleaning one hood does nothing for the shaft. Kitchen exhaust cleaning explains how a shared riser is split and quoted. |
| The rooftop fan rattles, squeals, or has stopped | Belts, bearings and motors fail on a schedule of their own. Exhaust fan repair and installation covers repair, replacement and hinge kits. |
| The landlord has photographs of grease on the roof membrane | The discharge needs containment, not a one-off wipe. Exhaust fan repair and installation covers rooftop containment and who pays for it. |
| Walls, ceilings, fryer cabinets and floor drains are caked | That is the room, not the exhaust path. Commercial kitchen cleaning is the deep clean behind and inside the equipment. |
| Nobody knows how often the system is supposed to be inspected | The interval is published by cooking volume. The NFPA 96 guide sets out the table and what the Ontario Fire Code does with it. |
Power Hoods Systems, the crew that operates Oshawa Hood Cleaning, can also quote HVAC, duct, coil, dryer vent and sanitation work on request.

The horizontal run, the riser and the access panels: the scope a certificate has to name before it covers the section a fire travels through.

Belts, bearings, motors and curbs on the roof. Repair, replacement, hinge kits, and containment so grease stays off the membrane.

Read the guideWhere to find hood cleaning services near me in Oshawa
Oshawa Hood Cleaning serves every district of Oshawa plus Courtice, Bowmanville and Newcastle, and the four services are available in all of them at the same price.
The service a kitchen needs tends to follow where it sits. Plaza units along Taunton Road and Harmony Road book hood cleaning and kitchen exhaust cleaning together, because the riser is shared and the landlord wants one record. Downtown pubs on Simcoe Street and King Street book hood cleaning on a cycle and call about the fan when it squeals in winter. Institutional kitchens in North Oshawa and across Clarington pair a hood visit with a deep clean, because the board that asks for the fire certificate also reads the public health report.
Coverage is set out on the areas served page, the segments on the who we serve page, and Bowmanville has a dedicated page at hood cleaning in Bowmanville.
Best way to book hood cleaning services in Oshawa for a kitchen that needs more than one
Oshawa Hood Cleaning quotes combined scopes as one job on one overnight window, which costs less than three separate call-outs and produces one set of records.
A crew already on site with the line covered and the filters in the tank can move to the roof, and then to the fryer cabinets, without a second mobilisation. The quote lists each scope on its own line so a landlord sees what belongs to the building and an operator sees what belongs to the tenant. The certificate covers the exhaust path. A separate report covers the deep clean, because public health and fire are two inspectors reading two documents.
Where a service is not needed, it is left off. A kitchen with a quiet fan and a clean roof gets a hood and duct quote and nothing else. How the business runs is described on the about page.
How much do hood cleaning services cost in Oshawa in 2026?

Larger systems are quoted on site after a free walk-through. Exhaust fan repair and commercial kitchen deep cleaning are quoted per job after inspection, and every written quote comes back within 24 hours.
The hood price is the anchor because most kitchens start there. Duct work is added to it based on run length and panel count. Fan work and deep cleaning are priced on what is found, which is why neither carries a published figure.

Hood cleaning services in Oshawa: frequently asked questions
Which of the four services does a first-time customer usually start with?
Hood cleaning services, almost every time, because the canopy and filters are what the kitchen can see. The walk-through then looks at the duct and the fan. Most Oshawa kitchens end up booking the hood and the duct together so the certificate covers the whole path.
Is the deep clean part of the hood cleaning visit?
No. Commercial kitchen cleaning is a separate scope with its own report, its own products and a different inspector reading the result. It is often booked into the same overnight window as a hood visit because the line is already covered, but it is priced and documented on its own.
Does Oshawa Hood Cleaning clean anything outside the kitchen?
Not on this site. The four services here are the commercial kitchen exhaust path and the kitchen room underneath it. Office air handling and residential ventilation are a different trade with different equipment. Anything on this site described as a duct or a run means the grease-carrying kitchen exhaust path and nothing else.
Who signs off on the fan work if the tenant does not own the roof?
The landlord or property manager. Anything on the roof sits on a membrane and a curb the tenant usually does not own, so fan repair, hinge kits and containment are written into the quote as building items. Proof of WSIB and liability coverage goes to both parties.
How is the interval decided across the four services?
The exhaust path follows cooking volume, using the intervals published in NFPA 96 and referenced by the Ontario Fire Code. The fan is inspected on every hood visit and repaired when it needs it. The deep clean is scheduled around service, usually ahead of a public health visit or a seasonal peak.
