Commercial restaurant equipment repairWhat the air tells you
Ventilation problems show up as heat, smoke and a failed inspection.
These symptoms often show up before a complete commercial kitchen ventilation exhaust hoods breakdown.
The kitchen has gone hot
If the line is noticeably warmer than it was, the hood is moving less air than it used to.
Smoke lingering over the line
Smoke that hangs instead of drawing straight up means the fan, the belt or the duct is losing capacity.
Grease where it should not be
Grease on the ceiling, on the filters or running down the surround is a fire risk and an inspection finding.
The fan sounds different
Rumbling, squealing or a new vibration from the roof usually means bearings or a belt long before a motor.
Doors that pull or slam
When exhaust and make-up air fall out of balance, you feel it on every door in the building.
Rooftop units struggling
Connecticut puts rooftop equipment through both extremes each year, and coils and contactors wear out on that cycle.
How we work on ventilation and HVAC
Airflow is measured, not guessed at.
A hood that draws poorly is rarely a hood problem on its own. It is a fan, a belt, a duct or make-up air that fell out of balance. BARO checks what the system actually moves before quoting anything, and looks at the roof as often as at the kitchen.
Fire risk first
Grease accumulation and a hood that will not draw are safety matters and they move ahead of comfort calls.
Roof and kitchen together
The fault is often upstairs even when the complaint is downstairs. We check both rather than one.
Seasonal service
Connecticut runs rooftop equipment hard in both directions. Spring and autumn visits catch what winter and summer break.
Across Hartford County
Restaurant hoods, hotel kitchens, school cafeterias and corporate dining rooms, all on one number.
When the air stops moving
Smoke on the line is not something to schedule for next week.
Tell us whether the fan is running, what the kitchen feels like and when the hood was last cleaned. Ventilation calls involving grease or smoke are treated as safety work.
