Expanded Services to Cover Every Kitchen Need

Exhaust Fan Repairs, Replacements & Performance Optimization

A failing exhaust fan can grind operations to a halt. When airflow drops, smoke and heat quickly overwhelm staff and guests. Our team addresses every type of issue: worn belts, failing motors, electrical faults, and duct blockages. Because we keep parts stocked in our service trucks, many problems are solved in a single visit. In addition to repairs, we provide upgrades and replacements for high-capacity fans that meet the demands of busy Chatham restaurants and institutional kitchens. Explore Exhaust Fan Services »

Custom Kitchen Hood Installations & Retrofits

A hood is the cornerstone of any ventilation system. We design and install custom hoods that fit your cooking line, kitchen layout, and compliance requirements. For older facilities in Chatham’s historic buildings, we provide retrofits and upgrades to bring systems up to modern standards. Our services also include duct inspections, lighting and fan troubleshooting, grease containment enhancements, and integration with suppression systems. Every project is completed in accordance with NFPA 96, ensuring you’re prepared for inspections. See Kitchen Hood Services »

Preventive Maintenance Programs for Ongoing Protection

Waiting until something breaks leads to costly emergencies. That’s why our preventive care is tailored to each kitchen’s volume and menu type. We handle lubrication, belt tightening, filter replacements, and grease removal, and we provide detailed reports that satisfy inspectors and insurers. By planning ahead, Chatham operators save money, extend equipment life, and reduce unplanned downtime. Meet the experts who make it possible: Learn About Our Team »

Fire Suppression Systems & Compliance Inspections

Grease-heavy cooking lines require more than just good ventilation—they need fire protection. We install and maintain UL-300 suppression systems, service extinguishers, and test emergency lighting to keep kitchens safe and compliant.
