Range Hood Repair
In a tight city kitchen a hood is either doing its job or quietly not doing it. We check blower speed, damper operation and the real duct run, which is where most of the airflow is lost in a converted building.
Flat $95 service call — the visit and the full diagnosis, credited against the repair when you approve it.
What people say on the phone
- Blower loud but moving almost no air
- Fan stuck on a single speed
- Hood lights out or flickering
- Cooking smells lingering through the rest of the apartment
Rated airflow is measured at the blower. What matters is what reaches the duct, so that is what gets checked.
What actually gets measured
- Blower current draw against the rating plate at each speed
- Baffle and mesh loading, and the state of the grease trough
- Damper flap travel at the hood and again at the wall or roof cap
- The real duct run — crushes, long flexible sections and reductions

The fan was stuck on one speed whatever we pressed. Speed control board had gone. He also found the damper flap painted shut by a previous decorator and freed it. Cooking smells finally clear the room.

The blower rattled at high speed and I thought the motor was going. It was a loose mounting bracket against the cabinet plus a bent squirrel cage. He balanced it, tightened everything, and it runs smooth.

The blower was loud and yet moving almost no air at all. The duct runs up through the back porch wall and had a crushed elbow hidden behind the plaster where nobody would ever see it. He rerouted that last section and the kitchen is a different room now.
