A properly designed and working kitchen hood system is critical for controlling heat, smoke, grease vapor, and odors in a commercial kitchen. When the hood, exhaust fan, ductwork, or make-up air system is undersized, damaged, or out of balance, you’ll see common issues like poor capture, excessive heat on the line, lingering smoke/odors, and equipment strain.
At Discount AC & Refrigeration, we focus on restaurant kitchen oven hood installation and repair for commercial kitchens across Arizona. Our licensed technicians evaluate airflow requirements, verify system performance, and complete code-aligned installation or repairs so your ventilation system operates the way it should—supporting kitchen comfort, equipment performance, and operational consistency.
Every kitchen is different—appliances, heat load, layout, and duct runs all affect performance. Our team follows a practical process focused on airflow, balance, and reliability.

Clear answers to common Commercial Service and Residential Service questions.
The right hood system depends on your cooking equipment, heat output, and kitchen layout. Type I hoods are typically used for grease-producing appliances, while Type II hoods are used for heat and steam only. Our technicians evaluate your equipment lineup, airflow requirements, and ventilation setup to recommend the appropriate solution.
Installation timelines vary based on kitchen size, duct routing, roof access, and whether make-up air systems are involved. Smaller installations may take a shorter timeframe, while larger or more complex kitchens require additional coordination. After an on-site assessment, we provide a clear project outline and expected timeline.
Yes. Many performance issues—such as weak airflow, excessive noise, vibration, or fan motor problems—can often be resolved with targeted repairs. We inspect the exhaust fan, ductwork connections, belts, controls, and make-up air components to determine whether repair or replacement is the most practical option.
If your kitchen feels excessively hot, smoke lingers during cooking, odors spread into dining areas, or the exhaust fan sounds louder than normal, your system may need inspection. Air imbalance can also cause drafts or pressure issues inside the building.
When required, we coordinate installation work in alignment with local building and mechanical code requirements. Proper documentation and professional installation help ensure your system operates according to established standards.
Yes, when necessary. A properly functioning kitchen ventilation system requires balanced exhaust and make-up air. We evaluate airflow to ensure your hood system and make-up air components work together efficiently, supporting stable kitchen conditions and consistent ventilation performance.
