Maintain your systems. Keep the evidence.
Our canopy and kitchen exhaust cleaning is carried out in accordance with AS 1851. Planned HVAC hygiene and clear service records support a well-managed maintenance program—matched to your site, system condition and agreed scope of work.
Building sickness
Dirty ducts and coils circulate dust, mould and bacteria through the spaces your guests and staff breathe.
Kitchen fire
Grease build-up in canopies, ducts and fans fuels kitchen exhaust fires.
Building closure
A fire or failed health inspection can stop trade overnight.
Insurance documentation
Keep maintenance records available for your insurer. Cover and claim requirements depend on your policy; your insurer can confirm what applies.
Maintenance oversight
Documented servicing helps owners and managers track maintenance and make informed decisions about their systems.
Questions we’re often asked
Straight answers on the Australian standards for HVAC and kitchen exhaust cleaning. Something else? Call (03) 9303 9661.
HVAC cleaningDo my HVAC ducts need to be inspected every month?
Although Australian Standard AS 3666.2 details that HVAC ducts and coils should be inspected monthly, in practice this is not always necessary. A professional HVAC cleaning company like Clean Air Filtration will advise how often your ducts should be inspected to comply with the standard.
HVAC cleaningHow often should I clean my ducts and AHU coils?
AS 3666.2 specifies that ducts and coils are cleaned “when necessary”. In practice, for most systems, this is at least once per year.
Kitchen canopy & exhaustHow often do I need to clean my kitchen canopy and exhausts?
Australian Standard AS 1851 states that canopies and exhausts should be cleaned at least once every 12 months. Best practice is often more frequent, depending on the fuel (solid or non-solid), the food cooked and how often you cook. A better guide: clean when grease build-up exceeds 0.2 mm on average across the system, or 2 mm in any one spot.
Kitchen canopy & exhaustWhy clean a commercial kitchen?
The primary reason is to prevent a kitchen fire, but there are five more: compliance (non-compliance with AS 1851 can lead to fines); odours (grease breeds mould and bacteria); pests (grease and mould attract rats and mice); health (grease and bacteria near food preparation can cause sickness); and equipment life (clean canopies, fans and ducts run efficiently and break down less).

Clean Air Filtration has kept Melbourne’s commercial kitchens and buildings clean, safe and compliant for over 30 years. We look after restaurants, cafes, hotels, clubs, schools, hospitals and offices across metropolitan Melbourne and Geelong, with most work done after hours so your business keeps trading.
Kitchen canopy and exhaust cleaning
Grease build-up in canopies, filters, exhaust ducts and fans increases fire risk. Our AS 1851 kitchen exhaust cleaning is scoped to your system and site access, with a photo report after each clean.
Filter exchange
Our filter exchange program swaps dirty canopy grease filters for clean ones on a regular schedule, so your kitchen always has working filters and your staff never have to scrub them.
Commercial HVAC duct cleaning
Dust, mould and debris in ducts, coils and air handling units lower indoor air quality and make systems work harder. We clean supply and return ductwork and AHUs, and offer indoor air quality testing.
Commercial kitchen deep cleaning
Our deep cleans cover walls, floors, ceilings, equipment, cool rooms and canopies, leaving your kitchen ready for inspections and service.
Kitchen equipment cleaning
Ovens, fryers, grills and other kitchen equipment cleaned and degreased to support kitchen hygiene and routine equipment care.
