What goes wrong with West Chicago range hoods
Grease is the enemy of a range hood, and it causes two of the three calls we take in West Chicago. It saturates mesh and baffle filters until the fan cannot pull air through them, and it builds up in ductwork until the outside vent barely moves. The third call is electrical: a fan that does not respond, which comes down to the switch, a fuse in the unit, the control board or a burned-out motor. West Chicago grew 72.5 percent during the 1960s and kept building through the 1990s and 2000s, so we see hoods of every age here. It is a short drive from our Glendale Heights base.

Range hoods that recirculate in West Chicago's 1960s kitchens
A lot of West Chicago went up in the 1960s. Some of those kitchens got a hood with no duct to the outside. It pulls air through a charcoal filter and blows it back into the room. The filter fills with grease and the hood stops doing much. Later remodels sometimes added a duct. Grease then builds up in that duct and the fan works harder.

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.
