Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Hood and Makeup Air Repair

01

What part of the hood and makeup-air system does United service?

United works on the mechanical ventilation equipment, including exhaust fans, hood airflow, makeup-air units, motors, belts or drives, controls, and the way replacement air interacts with the building HVAC system.

02

Is the issue exhaust, makeup air, or building HVAC?

Smoke, heat, odor, or pressure problems can start with weak exhaust, missing replacement air, controls, a fan fault, a blocked air path, or the building HVAC system. The air balance needs to be understood before the repair is chosen.

03

Why can difficult doors or a hot kitchen point to airflow imbalance?

Exhaust removes air from the building. Replacement air has to enter in a controlled way. When those paths do not work together, the kitchen, dining area, doors, and HVAC system can all show symptoms.

04

What should a restaurant or kitchen manager send?

Share the equipment affected, when the problem started, whether exhaust and makeup air start together, any control message, the kitchen schedule, and roof-access requirements. A photo or model number helps when it is already available.

05

Is this mechanical repair, hood cleaning, fire suppression, or inspection work?

This page covers mechanical exhaust and makeup-air service. Hood and grease-duct cleaning, fire-suppression systems, fire inspection, and code sign-off are separate scopes and should be handled by the qualified provider responsible for that work.
