How It Works
Our hvac & make-up air process for Gainesville kitchens
Walkthrough
Make-up air unit, exhaust fan, and HVAC system evaluated. Pressure balance and airflow measured.
Filter replacement
Make-up air filters and return-air filters replaced — typically quarterly for moderate-volume kitchens.
Coil cleaning
Evaporator and condenser coils cleaned to restore heat-exchange efficiency lost to grease and dust.
Belt & motor service
Belt drives tensioned, bearings lubricated, motor electrical connections tightened, no-slip operation verified.
Refrigerant check
Refrigerant charge measured, leaks tested, system pressures verified within manufacturer specification.
Make-up air balance
Exhaust and make-up air balanced so doors close cleanly, the kitchen is not under negative pressure, and dining-room temperatures stay stable.
Documentation
Service report with measured values, photos, and any recommended repairs — useful for warranty and future audits.

HVAC & Make-Up Air Insights

The Real Cost of Opening a Restaurant in Northern Virginia in 2026
