Monthly filter exchange
Clean metal filters arrive on a fixed monthly date and the loaded set leaves with us. Nobody on your staff soaks filters in the three-compartment sink, and nobody stands them up to drip dry during prep.
Filters are the cheapest grease you will ever remove
Every bit of grease a filter catches is grease that never reaches the plenum, the duct or the rooftop fan. Taking it out at the filter costs a few dollars. Taking the same grease out of a duct run costs a night's work and a pressure washer.
A loaded or warped filter bank stops catching. From that point the system loads at the rate of the ductwork, not the rate of the filters, and the cleaning interval you agreed to a year ago quietly stops being the right one.
How the exchange runs
Included
- We measure and confirm the correct filter type and size on the first visit
- Clean metal filters are delivered on a fixed monthly date
- The loaded set leaves with us — no sink, no drying rack, no staff time
- Damaged, warped or wrong-size filters are photographed and quoted, never swapped in silently
- The filter bank and the plenum behind it are photographed every visit
- Each visit is added to the same service record as your cleans
Twelve looks at your system a year
This is the part that matters more than the filters. A vendor who cleans once a year sees your system once a year, and everything they tell you about it is a year old.
We are in the kitchen every thirty days with a camera. When we say the plenum is loading faster than the interval assumes, there is a dated set of photographs behind it, taken a month apart, that you can look at yourself.
What it does not do
Filter exchange does not replace a full system clean and we will not let anyone sell it to you as though it does. Grease still gets past filters. The duct and the fan still load, only slower.
What it changes is that the clean gets scheduled off evidence instead of off a guess, and that the evidence belongs to you.
Questions we get
Do I have to be on a cleaning contract to get filter exchange?
No. The exchange stands on its own. Plenty of accounts start here and keep their existing cleaner, and we will still hand over the photos from every visit.
What does it cost?
It is priced on filter count, filter size and how far we drive, so it is quoted per kitchen rather than published as one rate. The quote is free and it is written down before anything is delivered.
What if my filters are the wrong size or damaged?
We photograph them, tell you what the correct size is, and quote the replacement separately. We will not quietly hand you a filter that does not seat properly and call the bank serviced.
Will you use the visits to sell me a cleaning?
We will tell you what the photographs show and what interval the condition supports. If the system does not need a clean yet, the visit report says that. A recommendation the pictures do not back up is not one we are willing to make.
