← Kitchen Hood Cleaning Bid Calculator
This calculator vs. HoodClean Pro
Two different shapes: HoodClean Pro is a subscription field platform for running a hood-cleaning company's compliance reports, scheduling, and invoicing. This page is a free, private worksheet for one question — what should this one job cost, given its duct, fan, and access, before you quote it.
What each tool is for
HoodClean Pro is an all-in-one field platform built specifically for commercial kitchen exhaust and fire protection professionals. It generates NFPA 96 hood cleaning reports and NFPA 17A fire suppression inspection records, runs CRM, scheduling, invoicing, payments, and QuickBooks sync, and produces the compliance certificates an insurer or fire marshal asks for. It is sold as an ongoing subscription account. HoodClean Pro's own site is not reachable from this session to confirm today's exact plan names or dollar figures, so no price for it is invented here: only its well-documented identity and category — kitchen-exhaust and fire-protection field software, sold as a subscription account — are stated, and no dollar amount for HoodClean Pro appears on this page.
This calculator does none of what HoodClean Pro does. It does not file a compliance report, schedule a crew, or send an invoice, and it stores no customer or job record on a server. It takes one restaurant hood and exhaust system — canopy and filter square footage, horizontal and vertical duct length, the fan, a grease-load multiplier, an access multiplier, after-hours labor, travel, chemicals, and disposal — and turns that into the job price, the price per the annual contract, and the walk-away price below which the stop loses money, plus a single printable customer proposal for that one job. It runs free in any browser, keeps no account, and uploads nothing you type.
| Question | Where to answer it |
|---|---|
| I run a hood-cleaning company and need NFPA compliance reports, scheduling, and invoicing in one system across every crew and every stop. | HoodClean Pro, or a comparable field-service platform — running a whole company is not something this calculator does. |
| What should I charge for this one job, given its duct length, fan access, and grease load, before I quote it? | This calculator — free, instant, private, no account. |
| Why does a flat per-hood number lose money on a long vertical duct run with rooftop access? | This calculator's own exhaust-system pricing walkthrough. |
| I need one shared account so my whole crew is filing compliance reports and invoicing customers the same way. | HoodClean Pro, or a comparable field-service platform. |
| Do I need to create an account or sign up to use the tool? | This calculator: no. HoodClean Pro is used through a subscription account. |
Most hood-cleaning contractors get different value from each: HoodClean Pro (or a comparable field-service platform) for running compliance documentation, scheduling, and invoicing across a whole crew as an ongoing subscription, and a private calculator like this one for an instant, no-login check on what one job should cost from its duct, fan, and access before a bid goes out. This page's own figures are a pricing model, not an NFPA determination, a scheduled job, or a signed proposal.
This tool needs no account and no sign-in: it is a static page, the arithmetic runs in your browser, and once it has loaded it keeps working with the connection off.
Common questions
Should I use this calculator or HoodClean Pro?
They do different jobs, and a hood-cleaning company of any size may end up using both. HoodClean Pro is an all-in-one field platform built specifically for commercial kitchen exhaust and fire protection professionals: it generates NFPA 96 hood cleaning reports and NFPA 17A fire suppression inspection records, runs CRM, scheduling, invoicing, payments, and QuickBooks sync, and produces the compliance certificates a fire marshal or insurer asks for, sold as an ongoing subscription. This calculator does one narrower thing: starting from canopy and filter square footage, horizontal and vertical duct length, the fan, a grease-load multiplier, an access multiplier, after-hours labor, travel, chemicals, and disposal, it turns that into the job price, the annual contract figure, and the walk-away price below which the stop loses money, plus a printable customer proposal, before any of it touches a compliance or business-management system. It runs free in any browser, keeps no account, and uploads nothing you type. A company already running compliance documentation, scheduling, and invoicing across a whole crew is better served by HoodClean Pro or a comparable field-service platform; a contractor who wants an instant, private, correctly-estimated price for one job before a bid goes out is in the right place here.
