Uptown range hood faults in old courtyard kitchens
A filter-only hood in a small old kitchen has a hard job. It has to clean the air and send it back without help from outside. When the carbon is spent, the hood still sounds normal, so many people keep using it for months. The motor feels the drag and runs hot. Bearings wear, and a rattle starts at startup. Hoods tied into a shared shaft can pull poorly if the shaft flap sticks. Lights in these hoods often run on old sockets that crack from heat.
An Uptown hood visit, start to finish
We figure out first whether your hood recirculates or ties into a shaft. Then the motor, switch and lights get tested. A healthy motor stays put. Uptown renters and owners hear the cost up front, and our warranty stands behind the job when it is done.
Filter-only range hoods in Uptown's 1920s courtyard apartments
Most of Uptown's housing went up in the 1920s. A courtyard apartment from that era has no duct to the outside. The range hood there does not vent. It pulls air through a charcoal filter and blows it back into the kitchen. When the filter is spent, smoke and grease stay in the room. The fan sounds fine, but it does nothing. Some hoods do have a duct that runs into a shared shaft.
We check which kind you have first. Then we change the filter, fix the fan or clear the duct. Uptown is close to our Chicago office. Call (872) 250-3778 for a same-day visit.
