Kitchen Exhaust Hood Repair Needs in Dallas Restaurants and Kitchens
Many restaurants in Preston Center, on Lovers Lane and in Lower Greenville vent through ductwork that climbs past other tenants to reach the roof. Preston Center includes two 20-story office towers among its buildings, and in multi-story or mixed-use spaces, the exhaust fan may sit far above the kitchen. That makes belts, bearings and fan motors easy to forget until the hood stops pulling smoke and the kitchen fills with heat.
Grease is the main enemy. It builds up on filters, in ducts and inside the fan housing, where it adds weight, throws the fan off balance and becomes a fire risk. Hood filters should be cleaned on a regular schedule, and duct cleaning should follow fire code requirements. Make-up air units that supply fresh air back into the kitchen also need working belts, filters and burners or heaters. If the hood is weak, noisy or the fan will not start, call for service.
Our Plano-based technicians cover North Dallas and nearby neighborhoods, from Preston Center and the Preston Road, Northwest Highway and Lovers Lane corridors to Preston Hollow, Bluffview, Devonshire, Prestonwood, Bent Tree, Lakewood and Turtle Creek.

What’s Wrong With Your Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Hood?
The kitchen exhaust hood problems we see most often, and the parts a technician checks first for each one.
| Symptom | Common causes a technician checks | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| Hood not pulling smoke or weak draft | Broken or slipping fan belt, failed exhaust fan motor, clogged grease filters, grease-loaded fan wheel, make-up air imbalance | Check whether the exhaust fan on the roof is spinning and the grease filters are clean.Possible causes a technician checks: Broken or slipping fan belt, failed exhaust fan motor, clogged grease filters, grease-loaded fan wheel, make-up air imbalance Schedule a diagnosis |
| Exhaust fan won’t run | Failed motor, broken belt, tripped breaker, starter or contactor fault, switch or control fault, thermal overload | Check the hood switch and breaker. If the hood lights work but the fan doesn’t, the fault is in the fan circuit.Possible causes a technician checks: Failed motor, broken belt, tripped breaker, starter or contactor fault, switch or control fault, thermal overload Schedule a diagnosis |
| Squealing, rattling or vibration on the roof | Worn or loose belt, misaligned pulleys, dry or failing bearings, grease buildup unbalancing the fan wheel | A squeal that starts at fan startup is usually the belt. Grinding usually means bearings.Possible causes a technician checks: Worn or loose belt, misaligned pulleys, dry or failing bearings, grease buildup unbalancing the fan wheel Schedule a diagnosis |
| Doors hard to open or smoke drifting into the dining room | Make-up air unit not running or undersized, negative building pressure, exhaust and supply out of balance | Notice whether doors whistle or pull shut.

Yes, with access arranged ahead of time. Let us know whether the roof is reached by stairs, hatch or ladder, and whether building management needs notice. We check the fan motor, belts, bearings and controls, and can let you know if the duct or fan housing needs cleaning by a hood cleaning company.
Clogged filters, a slipping belt, a failing fan motor or a make-up air unit that is not running can all reduce capture. When fresh air cannot come in, the hood cannot pull out as much. Check the filters first, then call to have the exhaust fan and make-up air unit tested.
The exhaust fan removes smoke, heat and grease, and the make-up air unit replaces that air with fresh air. If one runs without the other, the kitchen can become hard to ventilate or drafty. Both should switch on together and be checked on a regular schedule so they stay balanced.
