Commercial & Industrial Exhaust Systems in Los Angeles — Amana Integration

Design-first engineering for safer, cleaner, compliant airflow

Every facility is different. We begin with an on-site assessment to model loads, heat, contaminants, and routes for grease duct or fume exhaust. Then we right-size fans, ducts, and make-up air, and integrate Amana rooftop or split systems to stabilize building pressure and temper replacement air. The result: cleaner air, reliable draft, and lower energy use.

• Kitchen ventilation: Type I/II hoods, UL 762 grease fans, grease duct design, fire-wrap, and cleanouts
• Industrial exhaust: fumes, light dust, process heat, welding areas, battery rooms, garages
• Make-up air and tempering: direct-fired, indirect-fired, or DX with Amana equipment
• Controls: VFDs, demand-controlled ventilation, and BAS/BMS integration

Installation and retrofits that respect your schedule

Our crews coordinate with GCs, chefs, and plant managers to stage materials, rig rooftop units, set curb adapters, and complete ductwork with minimal downtime. We fabricate to spec, seismic-brace per CBC, seal penetrations, and commission systems to design airflow. Expect neat, labeled work and clear as-builts.

• Seismic bracing and roof curb engineering
• Grease duct slope, access doors, and fire-rated enclosures
• Pressure testing, airflow balancing (TAB), and sound attenuation
• Commissioning checklists and operator training

Smart controls and energy efficiency

We deploy demand-controlled kitchen ventilation (DCKV) and VFDs to match exhaust to actual load, then coordinate make-up air and Amana units to maintain neutral or slightly positive pressure. Where appropriate, we add energy recovery and advanced scheduling to cut utility costs while protecting indoor air quality.

• VFD tuning for fan curves and stability
• Sensor-driven hood controls (temperature/smoke)
• Setpoint strategies for pressurization with Amana RTUs
• Optional energy recovery and economizer integration

Code compliance and permits

Our stamped drawings and submittals align with NFPA 96, CMC, CBC, Title 24, and local jurisdictions throughout Los Angeles County, Orange County, Ventura County, and Western Riverside County. We coordinate with Health, Fire, and Building departments, address plan check comments, and deliver pass-ready systems.

• Kitchen hood suppression interlocks and make-up air safety
• Grease-rated fans, duct fire-resistance, and roof clearances
• Smoke control and garage exhaust strategies
• Documentation for inspections and maintenance

Amana integration the right way

While exhaust fans remove heat and contaminants, replacement air must be conditioned and controlled. We integrate Amana commercial rooftop and split systems to temper make-up air, reduce drafts, and protect comfort zones. Our designs keep your space within target temperature and humidity while balancing hood capture and overall ventilation.

Our team is trained at manufacturer facilities of Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Elektrik (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Hier (China). That factory-level perspective helps us engineer dependable, efficient systems and coordinate controls between exhaust, make-up air, and HVAC equipment.

Maintenance and emergency service

Performance depends on clean hoods, balanced fans, and tuned controls. We offer scheduled cleanings, bearing checks, belt replacement, coil and filter service on Amana equipment, and airflow rebalancing. If something fails, we deploy 24/7 to diagnose, repair, and document the fix.

• Kitchen hood and duct cleaning coordination
• Fan alignment, vibration and amp checks
• Amana RTU/split maintenance and economizer tuning
• Annual compliance reports and TAB updates
