Restaurant Ventilation System FAQs

  • Do I need a makeup air unit for my hood system?

    In most cases, yes—especially with Type I hoods in tightly sealed buildings. Makeup air units bring in fresh air to replace what the hood exhausts, helping maintain balanced pressure and better kitchen conditions.

  • Can you replace just the exhaust fan without replacing the entire hood?

    Yes. We frequently repair or replace rooftop exhaust fans independently. We’ll assess your existing hood and ductwork to determine the best solution

  • How often should I have my hood and duct system cleaned?

    Most commercial kitchens require professional cleaning every 3 to 6 months, depending on cooking volume. Grease buildup is a major fire hazard—routine cleaning helps keep your kitchen safe and compliant.

  • Do you install hoods in new restaurants or build-outs?

    Absolutely. We work with restaurant owners and contractors to design and install full vent systems during construction or tenant improvements.

  • Can you help with permitting or inspections?

    Yes. We’re familiar with local code enforcement and permitting processes and will make sure your installation or repair meets all necessary requirements.
