FAQ

Kitchen ventilation questions from Newark owners

How much does kitchen air balancing cost in Newark?

We price per hood system, not hourly. Contact us for an exact quote. Every service includes full CFM measurement, damper adjustment, smoke test, written report, and energy assessment. Same pricing for every kitchen in Essex County.

Do you repair exhaust fans in Newark?

Yes. We provide same-day exhaust fan repair across Newark and Essex County. Belt replacement, motor replacement, bearing service, and complete fan replacement. Most repairs in under 2 hours with parts on the truck. Contact us for pricing.

What kitchen hood brands do you service in Newark?

We service all commercial kitchen hood brands including CaptiveAire, Greenheck, Accurex, Halton, Gaylord, and Larkin. We carry VelGrid instruments and understand the specific conversion factors for each filter type — baffle and Captrate.

My Newark restaurant kitchen is too hot — can you help?

Yes. An uncomfortably hot kitchen is almost always a ventilation balance problem, not an AC problem. When the exhaust hood doesn't capture the thermal plume from cooking, heat stays in the kitchen. One air balance visit typically resolves this permanently. Contact us for a quote.

Kitchen ventilation service in Newark, NJ

True Commercial Service provides expert kitchen air balancing, exhaust fan repair, and makeup air unit service for restaurants, hotels, and institutional kitchens in Newark and across Essex County. We specialize in commercial kitchen ventilation — it\'s not a side service, it\'s what we do.

Most kitchens in Newark have never had a professional air balance. The hood was installed, the fan was turned on, and nobody measured whether the exhaust and supply are actually matched. The result: energy waste, smoke spillage, uncomfortable temperatures, and higher utility bills than necessary.

Our technicians carry VelGrid instruments with factory K-factor tables for every major filter type. We measure exhaust CFM per filter, supply CFM through the makeup air unit, face velocity at the hood opening, and run a smoke capture test. Then we adjust dampers and fan speeds until the system is balanced — typically an 80-90% supply-to-exhaust ratio for proper capture and containment.

We service all major hood brands including CaptiveAire, Greenheck, Accurex, Halton, and Gaylord. We also repair and replace exhaust fans (upblast, utility, inline) and service makeup air units from all manufacturers.

Serving Ironbound, Downtown, North Newark, Vailsburg, Roseville and nearby areas including East Orange, Irvington, Belleville, Bloomfield, Nutley, Montclair. Same-day emergency service available for exhaust fan failures.
