Exhaust Fan Repairs for Franklin Restaurants
Fan Motor Replacement
Single-phase, 3-phase, and ECM motors matched to OEM specs. We stock common sizes for same-day replacement at Franklin'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 — Franklin 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 Franklin'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 Franklin
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 Franklin 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

Downtown Franklin: Non-Standard Ductwork in 150-Year-Old Walls
Historic Main Street restaurants struggle with winding, non-standard ductwork hidden behind 19th-century walls. These complex runs create dead spots where grease accumulates and standard cleaning cannot reach, requiring strategic fire-rated access panel installation before a proper bare-metal clean is even possible.
Cool Springs: Landlord Penalties for Roof Grease Stains
Corporate property managers in Cool Springs and Maryland Farms enforce zero-tolerance roof protection policies. A failing grease containment system that allows F.O.G. onto an expensive white TPO membrane triggers lease penalties that can run into thousands of dollars — plus the roof repair bill. DDAN installs multi-tier containment that eliminates this risk entirely.
Pre-Holiday Season: Peak Demand on Fine Dining Equipment
Franklin's premium steakhouses and upscale restaurants run at absolute maximum capacity during the October-through-December holiday dining season. Fan belts and motors that have been gradually degrading all year finally snap under the increased load, making preventative replacement in September critical for avoiding a mid-service catastrophe.
Franklin Exhaust Repair Compliance
The Franklin Fire Department (FFD) - Fire Prevention Division closely monitors the historic downtown overlay due to the catastrophic risk of fire spreading through connected 150-year-old structures. Every duct direction change must have fire-rated access panels, and inspectors demand impeccable bare-metal cleanliness throughout the entire system.
City of Franklin Water Management strictly enforces F.O.G. regulations, while corporate property managers in Cool Springs self-enforce zero-tolerance policies for any grease damage to commercial roofing membranes. The combination means both your compliance status and your lease are at stake.
