Describe what changed
Symptoms give the repair request a starting point
One symptom does not prove that one part has failed. Explain what the staff sees, hears, or feels and when the change began.
- ✓ The exhaust fan does not start or stops during operation
- ✓ The fan is noisy, vibrating, or operating unevenly
- ✓ Smoke or heat escapes from the hood into the kitchen
- ✓ Capture seems weaker than it was before
- ✓ Grease appears near damaged ductwork or rooftop equipment
- ✓ The supply fan or make-up air is not operating correctly
- ✓ A switch, control, or wiring connection is not working as expected
Connected equipment
A hood problem may involve another part of the system
Commercial kitchen ventilation depends on exhaust equipment, replacement air, controls, and the physical condition of the hood and grease duct. Several conditions can produce similar operating problems.
Controls and wiring
Switches, controls, and wiring affect how the connected equipment starts and operates.
Replacement air
Make-up air and supply-air equipment affect kitchen pressure and hood capture.
System condition
Grease buildup, damaged ductwork, and changes to the cooking line can overlap with equipment symptoms.

Possible service paths
The condition determines the next step
The appropriate work depends on the equipment and conditions found at the property. A service request may lead to cleaning, component repair, replacement, or coordination with another project trade.
Cleaning
Grease buildup is handled as cleaning work even when an operating problem is also present.
