    How much is for this type of service and what is it? It sounds like just cleaning the fan.

    The interesting thing is that I see the Gen 4 has a filter but the only maintenance listed is to vacuum the outer grille.

    For the PiP, you want this video. And don't pay someone to do it for you. It's way too easy.

    that would be fan cleaning. since you are a new owner, if you don't want to diy, it might be worth having it done in case the prior owner was carrying shedding animals a lot.

    idk, but some members have made filters out of foam or house a/c filter material, and fastened it behind the grille. you have to be careful not to block airflow with too fine a filter.
