Exhaust Fan Repairs for Columbia Restaurants
Fan Motor Replacement
Single-phase, 3-phase, and ECM motors matched to OEM specs. We stock common sizes for same-day replacement at Columbia's busiest restaurants.
Fan Belt Replacement
Worn, cracked, and snapped belts replaced on-site with proper tensioning. Hot chicken grease coats pulleys and accelerates belt wear — Columbia kitchens need more frequent belt service than most markets.
Fan Wheel and Blade Repair
Grease-caked impellers cleaned, rebalanced, or replaced. Uneven grease buildup from Columbia's high-volume fryers creates vibration that destroys bearings in weeks.
Bearing Replacement
Shaft bearings, pillow blocks, and sealed units. If your fan is grinding or squealing, bearing failure is imminent — call before the motor seizes completely.
Complete Fan Replacement
When repair costs exceed replacement value, we install new units sized and configured for your system. All major brands — CaptiveAire, Greenheck, Loren Cook, and more.
Speed Controller and VFD Repair
Variable frequency drives that control fan speed. Faulty VFDs cause erratic fan operation, excessive energy use, and premature motor damage.
Complete Exhaust System Repair in Columbia
Ductwork Repair
Disconnected joints, failed seams, and damaged sections repaired or replaced. Includes fire-rated access panel installation for future maintenance access.
Hood Body Repair
Structural damage to canopies, grease troughs, filters, and mounting hardware. We repair or replace damaged hood components to restore full system function.
Fire Suppression Repair
Nozzle replacement, fusible link installation, tank recharge, and full system testing. Required for fire marshal compliance in every Columbia commercial kitchen.
Make-Up Air Repair
Make-up air units that supply replacement air to balance exhaust. When MUA fails, doors slam, gas appliances backdraft, and exhaust fans lose efficiency.
Electrical Troubleshooting
Tripped breakers, faulty contactors, damaged wiring, and control panel issues. We trace the entire electrical path from panel to fan to find the root cause.
We repair all brands: CaptiveAire · Loren Cook · Canarm · NAKS · EconAir · Greenheck · Accurex · PennBarry · Dayton · Fantech

Historic Square: Concealed Ductwork in 150-Year-Old Buildings
Columbia's incredible historic revitalization has restaurants operating in buildings with winding, non-standard grease ductwork hidden behind drop ceilings and original 19th-century walls. Without custom fire-rated access panels, technicians cannot reach critical duct sections for cleaning — leaving hidden grease accumulation that represents a catastrophic fire risk in connected brick buildings.
Carmack Blvd: Aging Fans Running on Borrowed Time
Older diners and Southern comfort restaurants along Carmack Blvd frequently operate upblast fans with failing bearings, stretched belts, and motors well past their intended service life. These systems vibrate, leak grease onto vulnerable older roofs, and fail completely during the humid summer months when thermal stress compounds years of accumulated wear.
Craft Brewery District: Heavy Grease from New Concepts
Columbia's booming craft brewery and smokehouse scene near Riverwalk Park produces heavy, sticky grease from wood smoking and deep frying. This intense output quickly clogs standard baffle filters and overwhelms factory grease catchers, threatening both the building's roof and the aging downtown drainage infrastructure that the Columbia Wastewater Department aggressively protects.
Columbia Exhaust Repair Compliance
The Columbia Fire & Rescue is particularly strict in the downtown historic overlay where connected buildings make grease fires exceptionally dangerous. Inspectors require fire-rated access panels at every duct direction change, bare-metal verification, and properly functioning hinge kits on all rooftop equipment.
Columbia Wastewater Department aggressively monitors F.O.G. levels to protect the historic downtown drainage systems. Rooftop grease runoff that reaches storm drains is severely penalized, making sealed rooftop containment systems a non-negotiable requirement for every commercial kitchen in Maury County.
