Hoods and filters
A hood that stops pulling is usually a filter first
Grease-loaded filters are the most common reason a range hood gets loud and weak. Viking, for example, recommends cleaning dishwasher-safe baffle and mesh filters at least once a month — more often with frequent frying, grilling or wok cooking — and replacing a recirculating hood's charcoal filters every 6 to 12 months.
If clean filters do not bring the airflow back, the blower motor, its speed control or the duct is the next step. Tell us the hood brand and whether it vents outside or recirculates when you call.
Proper kitchen ventilation removes smoke, steam, grease, and cooking odors essential for air quality and comfort. Premium ventilation systems from Wolf, Viking, and other brands deliver powerful airflow with quiet operation. Ventilation types include wall-mounted hoods, island hoods, downdraft systems, and integrated ceiling ventilation. Our technicians service all ventilation types, repairing motors, fans, lighting, controls, and addressing noise issues. We restore effective ventilation while maintaining the quiet operation premium systems are designed to provide.
Ventilation diagnosis includes airflow measurement at various fan speeds. Motor operation is evaluated for power and noise levels. Fan blades and assemblies are inspected. Lighting components are tested. Control systems are verified. Ductwork connections are checked for air leaks. Downdraft mechanisms are tested for proper rising and lowering. This evaluation identifies specific repair needs.

Answers
Frequently asked questions
Why is my range hood not pulling smoke effectively?
Reduced ventilation results from dirty filters, ductwork restrictions, or motor problems. Clean or replace filters first. If effectiveness doesn't improve, the motor may be weakening or ductwork may have issues.
My range hood is much louder than before. What's wrong?
Increased noise indicates motor bearing wear, loose fan components, or vibration issues. Motor replacement may be needed if bearings are failing. We diagnose the specific noise source.
How often should range hood filters be cleaned?
Grease filters should be cleaned monthly for active cooking households. Charcoal filters in recirculating systems need replacement every 6-12 months. Clean filters maintain both effectiveness and fire safety.

“The hood over our Wolf rangetop had got loud enough that we talked over it. Dry blower bearings, and grease packed into the impeller. He cleaned the housing and fitted a new blower. Much quieter, though not quite as quiet as new.”
“The upper section of our built-in crept up to fifty degrees while the freezer stayed rock solid. Turned out the condenser fan motor had seized and the compartment was heat-soaking. New motor, coils vacuumed out, back to normal by dinner.”
“Our wine cabinet had been drifting a couple of degrees warmer each week and I only caught it from the display log. The lower thermistor was reading low and the door seal had flattened at one corner. Both replaced, and it has held steady since.”
“Three cycles to dry one load. He gauged the vent, pulled the pedestal, and found the flex duct crushed flat and packed with lint. Rebuilt that run in rigid pipe. One cycle does it now.”
