Inland Empire Commercial Kitchen Exhaust
Commercial Hood Service That Passes Inspection
A failing commercial kitchen hood doesn't just mean a smoky kitchen — it means a failed health inspection, customer complaints, and a real fire risk. Tech On Call services Type I grease hoods (over fryers, charbroilers, griddles, ranges) and Type II condensate hoods (over dishwashers, ovens, steamers) across every restaurant, cafeteria, and ghost kitchen in the Inland Empire. Capture-velocity testing, exhaust fan repair, ductwork repair, and make-up air balancing — all under one roof.
The most common service call: "the hood isn't pulling smoke anymore." Nine times out of ten it's one of three things — a failed upblast fan motor on the roof (bearings, belt, capacitor), restricted ductwork from grease buildup, or a make-up air imbalance where the MAU isn't pushing enough supply to the kitchen and the hood is fighting negative pressure. We test exhaust CFM, supply CFM, and capture velocity before quoting any part. See related: exhaust fans, make-up air units.
For new hood installations we handle Manual D duct design, curb fabrication, ANSUL fire-suppression coordination, MAU sizing, and the permit + inspection cycle with local Building & Safety. NFPA 96 grease cleaning intervals are coordinated with certified hood-cleaning partners — we handle the service and repair side, they handle the periodic deep grease cleaning. For property managers running multiple locations, we offer scheduled maintenance plans covering both.

Process
How A Real Hood Job Runs
- 01
Call & Schedule
A real dispatcher answers — no phone tree. Same-day or next-morning ETA confirmed, and we text the tech's name and photo before arrival.
- 02
Inspection & Test
Flat-rate diagnostic. Tech measures static pressure, airflow (CFM), filter restriction, hood capture, and IAQ baseline — then explains findings in plain English.
- 03
Written Scope & Quote
You see the work and the price before anything starts. Diagnostic fee credits toward the repair when you proceed.
- 04
Install Or Repair
Most repairs (boots, dampers, fans, motors, filters) are completed same-visit. Larger ductwork or hood jobs scheduled within 48–72 hours.
- 05
Verify & Document
We retest static, CFM, and IAQ deltas and document everything — parts used, before/after numbers, warranty terms.

Hood FAQ
Commercial Hood Questions
01
Do you service Type I and Type II hoods?
Yes — Type I (grease) over fryers and griddles, Type II (steam/heat) over dishwashers and ovens.
02
Do you do NFPA 96 hood cleaning?
We coordinate certified hood-cleaning partners for NFPA 96 grease cleaning. We handle repair, service, and replacement on the equipment side.
03
Why is my hood not capturing smoke?
Usually fan motor failure, restricted ductwork, or MAU imbalance. We test all three before quoting.
04
How much does a new commercial hood cost?
$4,500 for a small wall hood up to $25,000+ for a full island hood with integrated MAU and fire suppression.
05
Can you work after hours?
Yes — most hood installs and major service is scheduled overnight or off-peak so you don't lose service hours.
06
Do you coordinate with my fire-suppression vendor?
Yes — ANSUL / Amerex tag-off and coordination is part of every install and major service.
07
Do you do commercial kitchen hood cleaning?
We service, repair, and replace commercial exhaust hoods, fans, and make-up air units, and we coordinate NFPA 96 hood-cleaning intervals with certified partners. See commercial exhaust hoods.
08
What cities do you serve for ductwork and ventilation?
Every city in Riverside and San Bernardino County — Riverside, San Bernardino, Fontana, Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario, Corona, Moreno Valley, Temecula, Murrieta, Redlands, Hesperia, Victorville, and the Coachella Valley. High Desert dust loads drive a lot of our duct-cleaning and filter calls; coastal-IE humidity drives IAQ work.
09
Do you warranty ductwork and ventilation work?
Every ductwork install carries a workmanship warranty. Equipment — IAQ purifiers, dehumidifiers, exhaust fans, hoods — is registered with the manufacturer and most ship a 5–10 year parts warranty when registered within 60 days. We handle the paperwork.
10
Do you offer financing on whole-home IAQ or new ductwork?
Yes — financing is available on qualifying ductwork replacement, IAQ packages, and whole-home dehumidifier installs. We walk through monthly payment options and any SCE/SoCalGas rebates before you commit.
