Serving customers throughout Ontario, we focus on thorough cleaning, professional workmanship, and detailed reporting to help reduce grease-related fire risks and support ongoing maintenance.

Regular kitchen exhaust cleaning is essential to fire prevention, equipment maintenance, and the safe operation of commercial kitchens.

Over time, grease accumulates in exhaust canopies, ducts, and fans. Without proper cleaning, this buildup can become a significant fire hazard. Routine professional cleaning helps reduce this risk and supports compliance with applicable fire codes, NFPA 96 standards, and insurance requirements.

Proper cleaning and maintenance can also help identify developing mechanical issues, support equipment performance, and reduce the likelihood of avoidable problems.

At Power King, our service extends beyond cleaning. Following each visit, our crews complete a comprehensive after-service report documenting the work performed and identifying potential mechanical issues or deficiencies observed during service. Before-and-after photographs may also be included, where applicable.

These reports help customers maintain service records and can be provided to insurance providers, property managers, and regulatory inspectors as supporting documentation when required.

While professional cleaning and documentation are important parts of ongoing maintenance, overall compliance depends on the condition, design, and operation of the entire system, as well as applicable regulatory requirements.

Our goal is to help you maintain a cleaner, safer, and better-maintained kitchen exhaust system while providing confidence and peace of mind with every service visit.

At Power King Exhaust Cleaning, we believe that professional training, industry knowledge, and ongoing education are essential to delivering quality service.

Alex Young, President and CEO, holds the Certified Exhaust Cleaning Specialist (CECS) credential through the International Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning Association (IKECA). Our current technicians also hold IKECA Professional Exhaust Cleaning Technician (PECT) designations and Certified Exhaust Cleaning Technician (CECT) certifications.

These credentials reflect our commitment to professional expertise, thorough cleaning practices, and industry education. Combined with decades of hands-on experience, they support our ongoing focus on quality workmanship, fire risk reduction, and helping customers maintain their kitchen exhaust systems in accordance with applicable codes and standards.

Our services extend beyond cleaning. We help customers identify potential deficiencies, maintain detailed service records, and address exhaust system maintenance needs through practical, comprehensive solutions.

From routine exhaust cleaning to related maintenance and deficiency work, we provide dependable service tailored to each facility's needs. Whether you operate a single restaurant or manage multiple commercial facilities, our goal is to deliver consistent quality, clear communication, and peace of mind.

At Power King, we believe every job matters, every detail counts, and every customer deserves professional service.

Our motto: “We are only as good as our last cleaning.”

Yes, you need to protect your investment. You have made a huge investment in your equipment, your customers and your team. Having your exhaust system cleaned will reduce the risk of a kitchen fire and protect your investment, and many insurance companies require proof of cleaning.

Exhaust system cleaning is also required to meet fire department requirements. Your local fire department, insurance company and landlord insist you meet the NFPA96 standards. These standards will ensure that you pass a fire inspection, meet insurance needs and provide a safe workplace.

Your location's ventilation and air quality will be improved by having an effective clean system that is designed to remove smoke and odours. One of our crew members will help organize a preventative maintenance schedule to create a safer and pleasant workplace.
