Elmhurst range hoods that stop pulling air
Downtown Elmhurst centers on St. Charles Road and Cottage Hill Avenue, and our range hood calls come from every street around it. The hood usually fails in one of three ways. It goes silent, and the fault is the control switch, a fuse inside the housing, the control board or a motor that has burned out. It keeps running but the smoke stays, which means grease-choked filters or a duct that has blocked on its way outside. Or it gets loud, with a rattle from a loose blade or screw, a hum from a motor that cannot turn, or a grind from bearings that are wearing out. We drive to Elmhurst from Glendale Heights, and same-day appointments are available.

Range hood ducts through Elmhurst's 1960s roofs
Elmhurst grew fast in the 1960s, and many of its kitchens still show it. A hood from that era often ducts straight up through the attic to a roof cap. That run is long, and it can fill with grease over the years. A roof cap can also rust shut or fill with leaves. When that happens, the fan spins but the smoke never leaves. We check the hood first, then the duct, then the cap. A dead fan is a motor or a switch. A weak fan is often the duct, not the hood. Either way you know the cost before we start work in Elmhurst.

Range hood problems are mechanical and electrical, rarely both. A fan that stays silent when the lights still work is a motor or switch. Poor suction that leaves smoke and grease in the kitchen is a clogged filter, a blocked duct or a weak motor. New grinding, rattling or humming means a bearing or blade is on its way out. Flickering lights or dead controls can be a bulb, but more often a control board. We repair wall-mount, island, undercabinet and downdraft ventilation, including downdraft vents that will not raise or lower. Repairs start from $299, and the $79 diagnostic is waived when we do the repair.
