How It Works
Our hvac & make-up air process for Potomac 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

HVAC & Make-Up Air Insights
The Real Cost of Opening a Restaurant in Northern Virginia in 2026
You've got the concept, the recipes, and the drive. But the number that kills most new restaurants in NoVA isn't food cost or rent — it's the mechanical and ventilation buildout nobody warned you about.
