Reliable Range Hood Repair in Downtown Chicago, IL
Range hood barely pulling in a high-rise? In Downtown Chicago we check the damper and the shared shaft, not just the hood fan. A same-day slot often opens up. The price comes first, and a replaced damper is backed by our repair warranty.
Shared exhaust shafts in Downtown Chicago range hoods
Some downtown towers tie kitchen range hoods into a shared exhaust shaft. A building fan on the roof pulls air from every unit. Each hood has a damper that opens into the shaft. If the damper sticks shut, the hood seems weak no matter how hard its fan runs. If the building fan is down, every hood on the stack loses pull. This setup turns up in some Downtown Chicago towers.
Checking a Downtown Chicago range hood
We test the hood fan, the damper and the airflow at the shaft. If the damper is stuck, we free or replace it. A dead building fan belongs to management, and we will say so. Tower quotes downtown are firm before work. If we free or replace the damper, there is no $79 diagnostic fee. We book from 6am to 9pm.
Ductless range hoods in the Loop's office conversions
A lot of downtown Chicago homes started life as office or factory floors. There was never a duct to the outside for a kitchen hood. So the hood pulls air through a charcoal filter and sends it back into the room. When that filter clogs, the fan gets loud and the smoke stays. We replace the filter and test the fan motor. We also check the lights, the switch, and the control panel. If your building did run a duct, we check that path too. Tell us the doorman and freight rules when you book. We come up from our office at 2701 S Indiana Ave.
