1990s hood on a small old duct

Kitchen ventilation problems we fix in Orland Park
Good ventilation is mostly about the right hood on the right duct, kept clean. We put in new hoods, fix motors, controls and dampers, and clean out built-up grease in Orland Park kitchens, and we'll tell you honestly when a cleaning or a repair is all it takes.
Cold draft from the hood
Grease or a bent flap keeps the damper from sealing. We free it or install a new one.
Range Hood Repair →Fan stopped working
When the fan quits but the light still works, the switch, control board or motor is usually at fault. We diagnose and replace the part.
Range Hood Repair →Hood that vents into the attic
An old hood dumping into the attic puts grease and moisture into the framing. We carry the duct through to the outdoors.
Range Hood Installation →Grease dripping from the hood
If brown drops fall on the stove, the hood needs a full degreasing, not just a filter wash.
Residential Kitchen Hood Cleaning →Kitchen stays smoky when you cook
Smoke that spreads through the house points to a hood that doesn't capture or doesn't exhaust. We check the size, the fan and where the air actually goes.
Range Hood Installation →Loud rattling or grinding hood
Rattles often come from a loose blower wheel, filter or damper; grinding usually means worn motor bearings. Both are repairs.
Range Hood Repair →No hood over the range
Adding a hood means planning the duct path, the power and the mounting. We handle all of it and pull a permit when the village requires one.

Kitchen Ventilation & Range Hoods questions from Orland Park homeowners
Do you handle restaurant or commercial hoods?
We cover commercial hoods as a separate service.
Should I repair or replace my range hood?
If the hood worked well before, repairing it usually makes sense. If it never cleared smoke, replacement is better.
Do I need makeup air for a big hood in Orland Park?
If the hood is large enough, makeup air may be required. We look up the Orland Park rules for your address.
What does range hood work cost?
It depends on whether it's a cleaning, a repair or a new hood with ductwork. We give a written, itemized estimate after the visit.
Do I need a permit for a new range hood?
A swap on an existing duct often doesn't. A new duct through a wall or roof often needs a mechanical permit.
