Running a professional kitchen inevitably results in wear-and-tear on heavily used items and equipment. And with canopy fans running throughout the day, it is essential to understand the basics of extraction fan cleaning in London and beyond.

So what should you consider when you’re thinking about changing out your fan? And what can you do to make sure you get the most possible out of your equipment?

When Should I Upgrade My Ventilation Equipment?

Upon starting your business, you will have settled on an item that meets your specific needs and use-case. But even the most prepared individual will have to make the decision to repair, clean, or even repurchase at some point.

So what situations can prompt a change in your canopy fan?

If you have been fortunate enough to upsize or renovate your premises it is vital to ensure that your equipment is still fit for purpose. Evaluations should be conducted even if the change is an extension to your existing property or relocation to another premises. New technology can also make the purchase of new equipment extremely tempting – especially with the recent drives for energy efficiency and durability. But any decision should always be weighed up as part of a cost-benefit analysis and looked at over the long term.

A worst-case scenario involves the breakage of the fan through accident or disrepair. As canopy fans are mission-critical items, the time required to repair or replace a worn piece of kit can render your kitchen unusable or unfit to work in. This makes it vitally important to conduct regular checks and seek professional feedback about working conditions and if your chosen product is truly fit for purpose.

How Do I Get The Most Out Of My Fan?

If chosen correctly and regularly maintained, your canopy fans can provide you with years of reliable service that avoids a drop-off in quality. Regular, professional cleans ensure that you’re getting the most out of your money alongside reducing the inherent risk of fires or particulate contamination.

Having regular checks to your fan as part of your regular kitchen maintenance is essential – and the commercial duct cleaning team at Canopy Fan Cleaning will be able to confirm how much maintenance is reliably needed, and how much is simply overkill. Alternatively, if you’re looking to upgrade, cleaning your still-working fan is a prerequisite for any sale or salvage. A well cleaned and maintained item will work faithfully for longer, and increase the resale value when you decide to trade up.
