Commercial Restaurant Odor Control in Calabasas

Engineered Restaurant Odor Control for Calabasas

Odor isn’t just a nuisance—it is a performance and compliance challenge that affects guest experience, staff retention, and neighborhood relations. #1 AC Guys brings engineering depth to every commercial odor-control project in Calabasas, delivering measurable capture efficiency, stable building pressure, and documented code compliance. We specialize in high-load and complex kitchens where smoke, grease aerosols, fry vapors, and charbroil exhaust require multi-stage solutions.

How we stop odors at the source

Effective mitigation begins with capture and airflow integrity. We analyze hood geometry, duct velocities, fan curves, and make-up air to prevent fugitive emissions. Our team right-sizes equipment and sequences controls to keep your kitchen slightly negative to dining areas while protecting comfort zones up front.

• High-capture hoods with correct overhang and face velocities
• Demand-control kitchen ventilation for variable cooking loads
• Balanced, tempered make-up air to maintain pressure and comfort
• Electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) for fine particulate removal
• Activated carbon or blended media scrubbers for odor adsorption
• UV-C and optional oxidizing stages where permitted and appropriate
• Rooftop exhaust fans and grease containment per NFPA 96
• Sealed ductwork with service access for safer cleaning

Our designs incorporate measurement and verification: airflow readings, pressure mapping, and temperature checks to prove performance on day one and at scheduled maintenance intervals.

Compliance and documentation

We engineer to NFPA 96 and align with SCAQMD requirements, including nuisance controls (e.g., Rule 402) and charbroiler-related guidance (e.g., Rule 1138) where applicable. We coordinate with local inspectors and the LA County Health Department to streamline approvals. You receive submittals, as-builts, and maintenance schedules that stand up to audits and insurance reviews.

AC PRO–supplied components, fast lead times

When timelines are tight, we can integrate AC PRO–supplied commercial fans, filtration housings, controls, and ventilation accessories to accelerate delivery without compromising engineering standards. Our procurement strategy balances performance, availability, and total cost of ownership.

Factory-trained, engineering-led team

Our technicians and engineers are factory-trained by Fujitsu, Mitsubishi Electric, Midea, Gree, and Haier. With a fourth-generation heritage and 80+ years in engineering, we bring methodical design, precise commissioning, and data-driven maintenance to every commercial project.

Maintenance that keeps odors down and energy spend in check

Odor control is only as good as its upkeep. We set filter exchange cadences, ESP cell cleaning schedules, and hood/duct service intervals based on your hours, menu, and load profile. Proactive service prevents pressure drift, protects fan motors, and maintains adsorption efficiency so odors stay out of your dining room—and off neighborhood forums.

When to consider an upgrade

• Guests or neighbors report persistent cooking smells
• Visible smoke at the roof fan discharge
• Grease staining around the discharge or on adjacent roofs
• Hot or drafty dining areas from poor building pressure
• Frequent breaker trips or fan failures
• Changes in menu (e.g., charbroil, fry) or longer operating hours

Our process

1) Site walk and diagnostics: airflow readings, hood capture assessment, and odor tracing. 2) Engineering and proposal: load calculations, equipment selection, and control sequences with clear ROI. 3) Installation and commissioning: performance testing with capture and pressure verification. 4) Documentation and training: maintenance plan and staff orientation. 5) Ongoing service: scheduled filter changes, ESP cleanings, and seasonal tune-ups.
