Regular replacement of your
electric chimney filter is essential for maintaining optimal airflow and suction power. Over time, grease, smoke, and other particles accumulate, clogging the filter, which can reduce the chimney's efficiency. A clogged filter forces the chimney to work harder, leading to poor air quality, increased energy consumption, and potential overheating. Replacing the filter ensures that the chimney continues to function effectively, removing smoke, odours, and grease from the kitchen. For an electric chimney, regular maintenance is especially crucial to preserve its long-term performance and avoid costly repairs.

Signs your chimney filter needs replacement
There are a few signs to look out for when your chimney filter needs replacement. If your chimney has reduced suction power or struggles to clear smoke, it is likely the filter is clogged. Other signs include visible grease buildup on the filter, an increase in cooking odours, or a noticeable decline in air quality. Additionally, if the filter appears damaged or excessively dirty, it is time to replace it. Ensuring that your chimney filter is clean and functional is key to maintaining a fresh and comfortable kitchen environment.
