Services
Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning
Our kitchen exhaust cleaning service removes grease buildup from hoods, filters, ductwork, and fans to prevent fire hazards. Technicians install access panels and fan hinges for code compliance. We also offer roof-top grease interceptor installations to protect roofing investments while ensuring NFPA 96 compliance. This service extends equipment lifespan and maintains safe commercial kitchens.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
Specialized dryer vent cleaning prevents fire risks and improves energy efficiency in residential and commercial laundry facilities. Our technicians clean lint buildup from vents and ducts in townhouses, condominiums, and high-rises. Regular maintenance reduces drying times and eliminates combustion risks from accumulated lint in shared laundry systems.
HVAC Duct Cleaning
HVAC duct cleaning removes contaminants from commercial air systems, improving indoor air quality and system efficiency. We service hallway make-up air systems and institutional HVAC units using specialized equipment. This service reduces energy costs and maintains compliance for commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, and recreation centers across British Columbia.
Electrostatic Disinfecting
Electrostatic disinfecting provides full-coverage pathogen elimination in large facilities using charged particle technology. This method effectively combats coronaviruses and other pathogens in healthcare facilities, restaurants, and production sites. The process disinfects 10,000 sq ft per hour with even coverage on vertical, horizontal, and shadowed surfaces.
Duct Installation
Professional duct installation ensures leak-free, code-compliant systems for commercial kitchens and laundry facilities. We specialize in retrofitting existing systems with access panels and proper sealing. Our installations prevent grease leaks, reduce fire risks, and maintain compliance with industry standards for new and existing commercial properties.

I worked for them, was the best employer and position I ever had. They care about both customers and employees. I would still be working there if issues at home didnt happen. Use them for your business and you will get the best services you can get!
Google asked me to review simply because I was watching the videos on their website while missing the work I am not there nor have I been for awhile but I decided to rate them because they are the best!
