Cleaning
Grease buildup can affect system condition and should be addressed separately from mechanical repair.
View DFW cleaningStart with the symptoms
Problems the repair team can investigate
One symptom can have several possible causes. A repair request should describe what the kitchen staff sees, hears, or feels without assuming which component has failed.
- ✓ The exhaust fan does not start or stops unexpectedly
- ✓ The fan is noisy, vibrating, or operating unevenly
- ✓ Smoke or heat escapes from under the hood
- ✓ Airflow or capture appears weak
- ✓ Grease appears near damaged ductwork or the rooftop fan
- ✓ The supply fan or make-up air is not operating correctly
- ✓ Controls, switches, or wiring are not operating as expected
Repair scope
Commercial exhaust and supply-air components
Commercial kitchen ventilation is a connected system. Repair work may involve the exhaust path, the replacement-air side, controls, or several components at the same time.
- Commercial hood
- Grease duct
- Exhaust fan and fan components
- Controls, switches, and wiring
- Make-up air and supply-air components
- Hinges, curbs, and access-related components
System-level diagnosis
Exhaust and make-up air work together
Weak capture, smoke escape, pressure problems, and difficult kitchen doors do not always point to one failed part. Exhaust equipment, replacement air, controls, grease buildup, and changes to the cooking line can create overlapping symptoms.
The repair request should identify recent changes, previous work, and what happens when the system starts or stops.
Possible next steps
Repair, replacement, or cleaning
The appropriate next step depends on the condition found at the system. The work may involve cleaning, repairing a component, replacing a failed component, replacing a fan or duct section, or coordinating with another project trade.
Component repair
A repair may correct a failed or damaged fan component, control, wiring connection, hinge, curb, or access-related item.
Replacement
When repair is not practical, the work may require component, fan, or duct replacement based on the site conditions.

Questions
Commercial vent hood repair FAQs
What parts of a commercial vent hood system can you repair?
American Vent Hood Pros works on the hood, grease duct, exhaust fan and its components, controls, wiring, make-up air, hinges or curbs, and access-related components.
Why is my commercial kitchen hood not pulling smoke?
Weak capture can involve exhaust equipment, make-up air, controls, grease buildup, or another system condition. The cause should be evaluated at the equipment rather than diagnosed from one symptom.
Can you repair or replace a rooftop exhaust fan?
Yes. The company repairs commercial exhaust fans and fan components and has also replaced complete fan and duct systems.
Can make-up air affect hood performance?
Exhaust and replacement air both affect kitchen pressure and capture. American Vent Hood Pros works on make-up air and supply-air components as part of the confirmed repair scope.
Do you repair residential range hoods?
Yes, but residential range hood repair is a separate service. Visit the residential service page for home range hood work.
