We install, repair, and maintain commercial kitchen ventilation so your team stays cool, your food quality stays consistent, and your equipment lasts longer. Our technicians handle hoods, exhaust fans, make-up air, and controls from assessment to final balancing. Expect clean airflow, steady temperatures, and safer operations with minimal downtime. Proudly serving Jacksonville, Yulee, St. Augustine, and Orange Park, and the surrounding communities — call 904-362-0750 to schedule.
Your kitchen ventilation is a complete airflow system. It pulls heat and grease-laden air out through hoods and fans, then replaces it with tempered, filtered outside air so cooks stay comfortable, and your equipment performs as designed. When balanced correctly, doors close easily, smoke clears fast, and make-up air prevents negative pressure that drags in dust or odors.
If you also need building comfort or production cooling, our commercial hvac services keep the rest of your space stable while the line is running.
Air moves the way it should, and heat leaves the line. Your cooks feel better, food quality stabilizes, and dining areas stop smelling like the fryers. Quieter fans and balanced airflow save energy while helping reduce grease buildup on ceilings and lights.
For CaptiveAire Systems across Northeast Florida, All Craft Mechanical Services Inc. delivers reliable airflow, safer kitchens, and fewer surprise breakdowns.
Better capture means fewer smoke alarms and less AC strain. Clean filters and tuned belts prevent motor overloads. When airflow is balanced, doors stop slamming and your cooler holds temp easier, which protects inventory and helps reduce waste.
Care tips we share on day one: keep filters washed weekly, check belt tension monthly, and schedule quarterly cleaning for heavy fry lines. If your coolers tie into the same space, we coordinate with our commercial refrigeration team so airflow changes do not warm your walk-ins.
We work with new installs, retrofits, and ongoing maintenance for CaptiveAire hoods, fans, and make-up air units. From motor swaps and VFD tuning to hood alignment and grease duct sealing, our goal is predictable performance and fewer after-hours emergencies. Preventive visits include cleaning accessible components, checking amperage and bearings, confirming interlocks, and verifying capture at typical cooking loads.
When an unexpected issue hits, we troubleshoot quickly and stock common belts, motors, and controls to shorten downtime. We also document settings, serials, and parts lists so your next visit is even faster. The result is a cooler line, steadier airflow, and less stress during peak service.
From quick-service and food halls to school cafeterias, hotels, and healthcare kitchens, we match exhaust and make-up air to your exact cooking mix. Griddles and fryers need strong edge capture to lock in plumes. Charbroilers and wok ranges demand extra overhang and air changes. We right-size fans, select durable filters, and balance supply to keep cooks comfortable without blowing out burners or pilot lights.
Remodeling in an older building? We navigate tight chases, reroute ducts, and set new curbs that seal against ponding water. Replacing a tired roof fan? We verify rotation, align pulleys, check vibration, and confirm that grease containment is in place. For production kitchens that also cool processes or packaging spaces, we coordinate airflow with industrial refrigeration so negative pressure does not pull warm, humid air across sensitive areas.
Our region brings long, humid summers, salty coastal air, and storm season power events. That combination can corrode housings, loosen hardware, and stress motors. We use weather-resistant fasteners where appropriate, set correct belt tension to avoid slippage in high humidity, and recommend surge protection on controls to handle lightning-prone months.
Peak heat means kitchens run harder and longer. We balance make-up air to temper humidity so line cooks can breathe, filters stay cleaner, and AC systems are not fighting exhaust all day. Seasonal checks before summer and again before holiday rush help catch worn belts and clogged coils before they turn into mid-shift failures.
Local tip for Northeast Florida: scheduling pre-summer and pre-holiday hood and fan checks reduces emergency calls when humidity spikes and kitchens run at max output. A short preventive visit often costs less than one after-hours breakdown.
Licensed, insured technicians focused on safety and clean workmanship. We show up on time, protect floors and counters, and leave the space ready for service. Our vans carry common motors, belts, and controls so most fixes happen on the first visit. We communicate clearly, provide photos, and document settings for your records.
Need broader building support beyond the line? As a local HVAC company, we can stabilize dining rooms, offices, and prep spaces while we optimize the hood system. You get one coordinated team and one predictable plan.
Yes. While we service CaptiveAire equipment every day, we also troubleshoot and repair many other commercial ventilation brands. We match parts and settings to your system so capture and comfort stay consistent.
Service frequency varies by menu and hours. Heavy frying or charbroiling often benefits from quarterly maintenance, while lighter cooking may go semiannual. Keep filters washed weekly and plan belt and bearing checks each season.
Some work can be done before or after hours, but fan swaps, belt changes, and balancing usually require brief downtime. We schedule around your rush and aim to finish critical tasks between prep and first tickets.
Absolutely. We assess hood overhang, fan speed, and make-up air placement. Small adjustments to capture edges, baffle alignment, or supply diffusers often remove smoke roll-out and even out temperatures on the line.
We clean accessible components, check amp draw and vibration, inspect belts and bearings, verify interlocks, and confirm capture at typical cooking loads. You receive notes, photos, and recommended follow-ups if any parts show wear.
We source quality components that meet the specs of your system. When an OEM part is required or strongly recommended for performance or compatibility, we will let you know before work begins.
