Commercial & Industrial Exhaust Systems in Glendale

Comprehensive Commercial & Industrial Exhaust Services

From small tenant improvements to multi-building campuses and high-rise facilities, our engineers plan and execute exhaust solutions that keep air clean, control temperature, and protect people and equipment. We handle new construction, retrofits, and critical upgrades across Glendale and the greater Los Angeles region.

• Design-build exhaust and ventilation systems
• AC PRO-compatible fans, curbs, controls, and accessories
• Kitchen grease exhaust and hood systems (NFPA 96-aware designs)
• Process, fume, and dust exhaust for industrial applications
• Parking garage CO/NO2 demand-control ventilation
• Smoke purge and stair pressurization interfaces
• Energy recovery and heat rejection strategies
• Testing, Adjusting & Balancing (TAB) and air verification
• Predictive and preventive maintenance programs

Applications We Serve in Glendale

We specialize in complex projects where airflow reliability matters most.

• Restaurants, food halls, and commercial kitchens
• Manufacturing, fabrication, and light industrial
• Laboratories, R&D, and healthcare support spaces
• Data rooms and high-heat equipment areas
• Parking structures and podium garages
• Retail, mixed-use, and high-rise mechanical systems
• Warehouses and logistics facilities

The Engineering Advantage

Our fourth-generation team brings 80+ years of engineering expertise to every system. We select fans using full-system static calculations, account for system effect and losses, and validate performance with commissioning and TAB. Expect optimized fan curves, right-sized motors, VFD control, and duct designs that minimize noise and vibration. We also incorporate filtration, grease capture, and sound attenuation tailored to your space and occupancy.

Where appropriate, we integrate energy recovery and demand-control ventilation (e.g., CO/NO2 sensors in garages) to cut operating costs while maintaining code-required airflow. Controls are programmed for safe startup, alarm feedback, and service reminders to keep your exhaust running efficiently over time.

Codes, Standards, and Local Compliance

Your project is engineered to satisfy relevant codes and local requirements in Glendale and across Southern California.

• California Mechanical Code (CMC) and Title 24 energy standards
• NFPA 96 considerations for commercial kitchen exhaust
• South Coast AQMD requirements where applicable
• Glendale Building & Safety submittal support and coordination
• Sequence of operations aligned with life safety systems

AC PRO Compatibility and Sourcing

We design and install exhaust systems that are fully compatible with AC PRO components, including fans, curb adapters, vibration isolation, and controls. Our team matches performance requirements to AC PRO catalog specifications to ensure dependable operation, maintainability, and parts availability in the Glendale market.

Factory-Trained, Field-Proven

Our engineers are factory-trained by Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Electric (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Haier (China). This advanced training strengthens our integration of HVAC and exhaust systems, ensuring that make-up air, pressure relationships, and control sequences work together for healthier, safer buildings.

Our Process

• On-site assessment: airflow, heat, contaminant sources, and egress considerations
• Engineering design: calculations, equipment schedules, and coordinated drawings
• Transparent proposal: scopes, timelines, and lifecycle cost insights
• Installation: clean workmanship, safety-first, and minimal downtime
• Testing & Balancing: verify airflow, static pressure, and control sequences
• Turnover: as-builts, O&M documentation, and operator training
• Maintenance: predictive inspections, measured performance, and rapid response

Maintenance That Prevents Downtime

Proactive service protects your investment and compliance status. Our programs include:

• Fan and motor inspections, bearings, and belt alignment
• Vibration checks and noise mitigation
• Filter and grease management to control odors and fire risk
• Damper calibration and controls verification
• Garage sensor testing (CO/NO2) and demand-control settings
• Airflow and static pressure trending for early fault detection

When to Upgrade or Retrofit

• Persistent odors, heat, smoke, or visible grease build-up
• Code notices or difficulty passing inspections
• High utility bills or short-cycling fans
• Excessive noise or vibration
• Corroded ducts, failing fans, or obsolete controls
