Commercial Exhaust Fans in Burbank, CA

Comprehensive Commercial Exhaust Solutions in Burbank

#1 AC Guys helps Burbank businesses move air the right way—safely, quietly, and efficiently. Our fourth‑generation, family‑owned team brings 80+ years of engineering experience to every commercial exhaust fan project, from new designs and turnkey installations to fast repairs and proactive maintenance. Whether you run a restaurant on Magnolia Park, a studio warehouse, a medical office, or a mixed‑use property, we size, select, and commission systems that protect indoor air quality while meeting code.

Fan Types and Applications We Service

• Commercial kitchens: UL‑762 grease exhaust, upblast fans, grease ducts, hoods, and make‑up air units compliant with NFPA 96.
• Restaurants, bakeries, and cafes: heat and odor control with demand‑control ventilation for lower utility costs.
• Restrooms and fitness studios: high‑performance, low‑noise fans to manage humidity and odors.
• Warehouses and production: inline and roof fans to remove process heat and fumes, with heat‑recovery options when appropriate.
• Parking garages: CO/NO2 sensor‑based fans and controls for energy‑smart ventilation.
• Labs, salons, and specialty spaces: dedicated exhaust with dilution strategies and proper pressure zoning.

Code, Safety, and Performance—Handled

We design and install to California Mechanical Code, Title 24 energy standards, and local Burbank/Los Angeles County requirements. For kitchens, we follow NFPA 96 best practices and specify UL‑762 grease exhaust fans with correct clearances, access doors, and FSD/hood interlocks. Our team manages permitting, submittals, inspections, and final sign‑offs for a smooth, compliant handover.

Energy Efficiency and Controls

Reduce operating costs without sacrificing capture and containment. We integrate VFDs, EC motors, and demand‑control ventilation (DCV) tied to temperature, smoke, or occupancy, delivering quieter operation and measurable savings. When needed, we pair exhaust with properly balanced make‑up air to stabilize building pressure, improve comfort, and protect conditioned air.

Our Proven Process

1) Discovery and site walk: we evaluate loads, duct routes, hood types, roof structure, electrical service, and code triggers.
2) Engineering and selection: we size CFM and SP, model losses, and select fans, curbs, ducts, and controls that meet your budget and goals.
3) Installation: clean, coordinated work with attention to flashing, vibration isolation, grease containment, and proper sealing.
4) Balancing and commissioning: airflow verification, control tuning, noise/vibration checks, and training for your staff.
5) Documentation and permitting: as‑builts, O&M manuals, and final sign‑off support.
