HOW YOUR HOOD IS SABOTAGING YOUR AC

Your Hood Exhaust Is Sabotaging Your AC. And You're Paying for It Every Service.

Your hood exhaust pulls 800-1,200 CFM of air out of the kitchen. That air has to come from somewhere. If your make-up air isn’t properly conditioned, it pulls from the dining room — dragging your cooled guest air into the kitchen, and leaving your guests sitting in the heat.

🌡️ Kitchen hits 110-120°F during dinner rush — Your line is cooking. So is your staff.

💧 Line cooks sweating into the food — A health inspection risk and a morale killer.

⚡ Your AC runs twice as hard — costs twice as much. The harder it fights the imbalance, the higher the utility bill.

❄️ The dining room never reaches set temperature — Guests notice. Some don’t come back.

🚪 Staff turnover spikes — Nobody stays in a 120°F kitchen when the place next door has AC.

THE REAL COST OF DOING NOTHING

What a Broken Kitchen HVAC Actually Costs You.

Let’s run the numbers on a typical Houston restaurant:

$3,000 — Per line cook hiring + training cost
Every time a cook quits the heat, that’s $3K out the door. Most overheated kitchens cycle through 3-5 cooks a year.

+30% — Extra HVAC runtime due to hood imbalance
Your system works harder to compensate. You pay for it every month on your utility bill.

$8,000 — Emergency RTU repair in July — minimum
Systems pushed past capacity fail at the worst moment. Emergency commercial HVAC repair in Houston summer: expensive.

WE DON'T INSTALL STANDARD ACS IN KITCHENS

We Don't Install Standard ACs in Kitchens. We Engineer Systems.

Here’s what a proper commercial kitchen HVAC design includes — and why each part matters:

01

Make-Up Air Unit (MUA)

Conditioned air that replaces what the hood exhaust pulls out. Pre-tempered so it doesn’t shock kitchen temperatures. Balanced so it doesn’t rob the dining room of cooled air.

02

Kitchen-Specific Cooling

Dedicated units designed for grease-laden environments, high sensible heat loads, constant door openings, and stainless steel coil protection. Built for the line.

03

Dining Room Zoning

Separate zone, separate control. Your guests stay comfortable regardless of what’s happening on the line. No more ‘sorry, the kitchen is cooking’ apologies to tables.

04

Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV)

Captures energy from exhaust air to pre-condition incoming air. Reduces total HVAC load by up to 40%. Fastest ROI of any component for high-volume kitchens.

WE'VE DONE THIS BEFORE

Real Kitchen. Real Numbers. Real Result.

“Our kitchen was hitting 115°F during dinner rush. Line cooks were quitting every 3 months. They redesigned our make-up air system and added a dedicated kitchen unit. Kitchen temp dropped to 85°F. Staff turnover? Down 80% in 6 months.”

COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions We Hear From Restaurant Owners

Q: My landlord handles HVAC. What do I do? A: Send them our way. Most landlords don’t understand commercial kitchen HVAC. We’ll educate them — with data — so you don’t have to fight that battle alone.

Q: Can’t my regular HVAC guy handle this? A: If they’re residential or light commercial, probably not. Commercial kitchens require make-up air calculations, grease-rated equipment, and hood integration. It’s a specialized skill set.

Q: How much does this cost? A: It depends on your kitchen size and existing infrastructure. The assessment is free. The quote will be firm, itemized, and include options at different price points.

Q: I’m renovating next year. Should I wait? A: No. Design the HVAC into the renovation plan now. Retrofitting after construction costs 2-3x more. The earlier we’re involved, the cheaper and cleaner the result.

Q: Will this affect my health inspection? A: Proper kitchen ventilation directly impacts your health score. A well-designed system reduces grease buildup, improves air quality, and helps you pass with fewer violations.

THE DECISION IS SIMPLE

Your Kitchen Should Be Profitable. Not Unbearable.

Free assessment. Clear recommendations. Systems built for the heat.

Every summer your kitchen runs at 115°F is another summer of staff turnover, customer complaints, and utility bills that don’t have to be that high.

The assessment is free. The quote is firm. And the difference between a broken kitchen HVAC and a properly engineered one is measurable — in dollars and in people.
