Our Process

Fan maintenance is typically performed at the same time as hood cleaning, allowing us to complete the full system service in a single overnight visit.

1

Rooftop Access and Safety Check

We access the rooftop safely and confirm the fan is off and the system is locked out before beginning work.

2

Grease Containment Service

The grease drip tray and containment vessel are emptied, cleaned, and inspected. An overflowing grease container is a fire and environmental hazard.

3

Fan Cleaning

Fan housing, blades, impeller, and discharge opening are degreased. Heavy buildup on the blades reduces airflow and causes vibration that damages bearings.

4

Mechanical Inspection

Belt tension and condition are checked. Bearings are inspected for noise or play. Motor amp draw is tested if equipment allows. Deficiencies are documented.

5

Service Report

We provide a written report of fan condition, belt status, containment level, and any issues found. You have a maintenance record for your equipment file.

Why Choose ATA

There are several companies offering this service in Edmonton. Here is what makes ATA different.

We Catch Problems Before They Cost You

A worn belt or failing bearing caught at maintenance is a $50 fix. The same problem discovered when the fan stops working mid-service is an emergency repair, lost revenue, and a potential closure.

Grease Containment Done Right

An overflowing rooftop grease tray is a fire risk and an environmental liability. We service the containment at every visit — not just when it looks full from below.

Combined with Hood Cleaning

Scheduling fan maintenance alongside hood cleaning means one overnight visit for the full system. No extra trips, no separate invoices, no coordination headaches.

Written Condition Reports

Every fan service includes a written condition report. You have documentation for your equipment file, your insurance, and your own facilities records.

Pricing

Exhaust fan maintenance is quoted as a standalone service or bundled with hood cleaning at a reduced rate. Bundle pricing is the most cost-effective way to keep your full system maintained.

  • Number of rooftop fans on the system
  • Fan accessibility and rooftop configuration
  • Grease containment capacity and current fill level
  • Whether service is bundled with hood cleaning
  • Frequency of service (monthly, quarterly, semi-annual)

Contact us for a bundled hood cleaning and fan maintenance quote. One price, one visit, full system compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should an exhaust fan be serviced?
Fan maintenance should be performed on the same schedule as hood cleaning — at minimum quarterly for most commercial kitchens. The fan accumulates grease at the same rate as the hood since all exhaust air passes through it.
What happens if the rooftop grease container overflows?
Overflowing grease can run down the building exterior, onto the roof membrane (causing damage and voiding roof warranties), and into drains. It is also a fire hazard. Alberta Environment has regulations on grease discharge — overflow can result in fines.
How do I know if my exhaust fan belt needs replacing?
Signs include reduced airflow, unusual noise from the rooftop fan, or visible cracking on the belt. During our maintenance visit we check belt tension and condition and flag replacements before they become failures. We can replace most standard belts on the same visit.
Can you service the fan without doing the full hood cleaning?
Yes — fan maintenance can be booked as a standalone service. However, if your hood is also due for cleaning, bundling both services saves money and means only one overnight shutdown.
What type of exhaust fans do you service?
We service standard upblast exhaust fans used in commercial kitchen applications. This includes most major brands commonly found on Edmonton commercial kitchen rooftops.
