Commercial kitchens generate large amounts of exhaust air, heat, smoke, grease, and airborne contaminants during daily cooking operations. Without a properly balanced make up air system, buildings can develop negative air pressure that affects ventilation performance, indoor comfort, and overall HVAC system efficiency.
When a make up air fan or kitchen exhaust system is not operating properly, businesses can experience:
A makeup air system is designed to replace exhausted air with fresh air from outdoors to help maintain balanced air pressure inside the building. Proper ventilation helps commercial kitchens operate more safely, efficiently, and comfortably while supporting high indoor air quality.
United Refrigeration, Heating & Air provides make up air system installation, repair, and maintenance services designed to improve ventilation performance, reduce negative air pressure problems, and support long-term HVAC reliability.
United Refrigeration, Heating & Air provides complete ventilation and make up air services for restaurants, industrial kitchens, food service operations, and commercial buildings needing dependable airflow and ventilation performance.
Services Include:
Every building has different ventilation requirements based on kitchen layout, exhaust hood size, cooking equipment, cubic feet per minute airflow demands, and building code requirements. Choosing the right make up air system helps businesses improve ventilation, maintain indoor comfort, and protect HVAC system performance.
