Commercial Fan Service in Chicagoland, IL

Proper ventilation is crucial for any commercial or industrial space, regardless of your industry. Sufficient airflow and mitigation of contaminants will keep your employees safe, healthy, and productive. Installing commercial exhaust fans will also ensure you’re in compliance with all OSHA regulations and building codes. A well-designed ventilation system will improve the indoor air quality on your property and mitigate the risk of harmful airborne chemicals. Installing exhaust fans in commercial properties will also extend the lifespan of your heating and cooling systems, air vents, and ductwork and protect your building from damage.

We will complete a site inspection before our team of experienced technicians installs an exhaust fan on a commercial property. We will assess the space, determine proper placement for all fans, evaluate the ductwork and electrical systems, and discuss necessary permitting. We can then offer you an estimate for the commercial ventilation fan installation cost and schedule a date and time for service. On the day of installation, we will:

• Assess and confirm the plans and specifications for the placement of the exhaust fan and other components.
• Assess the rooftop package and housing.
• Turn off electricity to the area in which installation will occur.
• Cut a hole in the roof to support the fan curb.
• Install the insulated supply fan curb.
• Install all exhaust ductwork to the location of the exhaust fan installation site.
• Create an opening in the drywall to facilitate the exhaust fan installation.
• Place the fan in place and secure it.
• Connect the exhaust fan motor to your electrical power source.
