Fontana Commercial Restaurant Odor Control

What we fix—and prevent

If your kitchen exhaust pulls odors into the dining room, drifts to neighboring suites, or triggers recurring complaints, you don’t have to live with it. We address root causes: inadequate hood capture, undersized or dirty filters, leaky ductwork, unbalanced make‑up air, and exhaust fans that can’t maintain design airflow during peak service.

• Persistent food, fry, or char odors leaving the building
• Smoke haze and grease aerosols beyond the hood
• Negative pressure pulling smells into the front of house
• Neighbor, landlord, or inspector complaints
• Energy waste from overventilation and poor controls

Engineered solutions that work under real load

Every restaurant is different. Our engineers size and integrate components so the whole system performs together—capture, contain, and treat.

• Hood capture & containment: verify face velocity, edge capture, and proper overhang for your appliances
• High‑efficiency particulate removal: electrostatic precipitators (ESP) to strip smoke and grease aerosols before they reach odor media
• Activated‑carbon modules: deep‑bed, serviceable carbon tailored for your cuisine’s VOC profile
• Sealed, cleanable ducting: reduce leaks and grease accumulation for safer, steadier airflow
• Make‑up air (MUA): right‑size, heat/cool, and balance supply to stabilize building pressure
• Demand‑control ventilation: match fan speed to cooking load to curb energy use while maintaining capture

Our approach is ozone‑free and scent‑free—eliminating odors at the source instead of masking them.

Our process

1. On‑site assessment. We survey hoods, duct, fans, roof terminations, and MUA. We measure CFM, static pressure, and pressure differentials between kitchen and dining areas.
2. Design & proposal. You receive a stamped plan (as required), equipment selections, and a phased budget for retrofit or new build.
3. Installation. Certified crews install ESP and carbon modules, fan upgrades, seals, and controls with minimal downtime.
4. Balancing & commissioning. We tune capture and MUA, verify performance under real cooking loads, and provide a commissioning report.
5. Training & turnover. Your team gets simple SOPs for filter changes and cleaning intervals.

Maintenance that protects performance

Odor control is a system, not a single box. We set maintenance schedules based on hours, menu, and seasonality so efficiency and compliance stay locked in.

• ESP cell cleaning and inspections
• Activated‑carbon replacement based on pressure drop and breakthrough
• Fan belt and bearing checks; vibration trending
• MUA coil and filter service to stabilize pressure and comfort
• Quarterly performance snapshots for your records

Integration with dining comfort systems

Dining rooms deserve clean, quiet comfort while the line runs full tilt. Our team integrates odor control with your HVAC—VRF/ducted systems from brands we’re factory‑trained on (Fujitsu, Mitsubishi Electric, Midea, Gree, Haier)—to keep temperatures steady and pressure balanced without drafts or door whistling.
