COMMERCIAL KITCHEN HOOD VENTILATION BALANCING

Tidewater Air Balance has noticed a sharp increase of restaurants experiencing kitchen cooking and dish washing hoods problems. These problems can usually be recognized by the restaurant air condition systems not cooling properly or exterior doors not functioning correctly.

Quite simply, all air that is exhausted through the kitchen hood systems must be replaced through associated HVAC systems. Otherwise, kitchen hoods will not exhaust cooking odors and heat properly as well as create a negative space pressure. Both will result in the air conditioning not cooling properly with the kitchen and dining area becoming hot and the exterior doors being difficult to open or close. Also, improperly balanced kitchen ventilation systems cost additional energy to the restaurant owners.

Through proper airflow balancing of the hood and associated HVAC Systems, we can resolve your kitchen hood problems with nominal effort.
