Commercial & Industrial Exhaust Systems in Calabasas

An engineering-first approach to clean, safe air

Our mission is simple: healthy air for a healthy life. In commercial and industrial environments, that starts with properly engineered exhaust systems that capture and remove grease, fumes, VOCs, smoke, heat, and particulates at the source. With 80+ years of engineering experience across four generations, #1 AC Guys delivers systems that perform under real-world conditions in Calabasas—meeting airflow targets, pressure requirements, and code compliance without sacrificing energy efficiency or comfort.

What we deliver

• Design-build exhaust systems: hoods, ductwork, fans, make‑up air, controls, and energy recovery.
• Code and standards alignment: NFPA 96, UL 762 fan selections, local health and fire requirements, Title 24 energy standards, and SCAQMD permitting guidance.
• Installation and retrofit: confined spaces, occupied facilities, night/weekend work, and phasing to minimize downtime.
• Airflow testing, balancing, and commissioning for verifiable performance and documentation.
• Controls and optimization: VFDs, demand‑controlled kitchen ventilation, CO/NO2 garage sensors, and building automation integration.
• Upgrades and replacements: fan assemblies, grease ducts, spark arrestors, variable-speed controls, and high‑efficiency motors.
• Preventive maintenance programs: inspections, cleaning coordination, bearings and belts, vibration checks, electrical and safety interlocks.

Systems we engineer and service in Calabasas

• Commercial kitchen exhaust: Type I/II hoods, grease ducts, UL 762 fans, demand‑controlled ventilation, and make‑up air sizing.
• Laboratory and R&D exhaust: fume hoods, snorkels, canopy hoods, general lab exhaust, energy recovery with safety interlocks.
• Parking garage ventilation: CO/NO2 monitoring, variable‑speed fans, code‑driven ventilation rates, noise mitigation.
• Manufacturing and process exhaust: heat, smoke, and light particulate capture; localized source capture and high‑temperature fans.
• General industrial ventilation: dilution exhaust, rooftop and inline fans, energy recovery ventilators where appropriate.

Compliance and permitting in Calabasas and Los Angeles County

We design for compliance from day one—coordinating with local plan checks, health and fire authorities, and energy and air‑quality rules. Our submittals include drawings, equipment schedules, airflow calculations, and control sequences to streamline approvals. We help you align with NFPA 96 for kitchen exhaust, select UL 762 fans for grease applications, address Title 24 requirements, and navigate SCAQMD considerations for emissions and exhaust discharge.

Why #1 AC Guys

• Fourth‑generation, family‑owned team with 80+ years of engineering expertise.
• Factory training at the manufacturers’ facilities: Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Electric (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), Haier (China).
• Specialists in complex, large‑scale commercial and industrial projects.
• Calabasas‑focused support with coverage across Los Angeles County and nearby counties.
• Transparent scopes, realistic timelines, and performance‑based commissioning.
• Proactive maintenance to reduce risk, energy use, and emergency calls.

Our process

We start with a site assessment to document existing conditions, airflows, heat loads, contaminant sources, discharge locations, and code constraints. Next, we provide a clear proposal with options, budgets, and timelines. After approvals, our engineers finalize drawings, coordinate trades, and stage the installation to minimize disruptions. We finish with balancing, commissioning, and operator training—then enroll you in a maintenance plan tailored to your usage and compliance schedule.

Maintenance that protects uptime

Effective exhaust systems need consistent care. Our maintenance programs are designed to prevent failures and preserve compliance.

• Fan and motor inspections, bearings, belts, and alignment checks.
• Vibration and noise analysis to catch issues early.
• Controls, interlocks, and sensor verification (including CO/NO2 and demand controls).
• Airflow and pressure checks; filter and grease management coordination.
• Documentation to satisfy inspectors and insurance requirements.

Industries we support in Calabasas

• Restaurants, food halls, and hospitality kitchens.
• Biotech, medical, and academic laboratories.
• Parking structures and mixed‑use developments.
• Light manufacturing, printing, and assembly operations.
• Retail, office, and wellness environments needing targeted exhaust.
