What We Do

Our Restaurant HVAC Services in Manhattan

Full-coverage HVAC service for restaurants — dining room comfort, kitchen ventilation, and everything between — across Manhattan.

🍽️

Kitchen Exhaust & Make-Up Air Service

We maintain and repair the grease exhaust and make-up air systems that keep your kitchen legally operating, minimizing the risk of a code-driven shutdown.

❄️

Dining Room Comfort Cooling

RTU, split-system, and VRF repair and maintenance for front-of-house comfort — because a hot dining room drives customers out the door as fast as bad food.

🚨

24/7 Emergency Repair

A failed kitchen exhaust fan or dining room AC unit gets priority dispatch. Certified technicians typically reach Manhattan restaurants within 4 hours, day or night.

📋

FDNY & DOH Compliance Support

We prepare kitchen ventilation systems for fire marshal and health inspections, addressing common deficiencies before an inspector ever arrives.

📅

Restaurant Maintenance Contracts

Custom maintenance plans covering kitchen exhaust, make-up air, and dining room HVAC in one schedule — designed around your service hours, not ours.

🌿

LL97 Compliance Optimization

Local Law 97 targets buildings over 25,000 sq ft, and restaurant HVAC — kitchen exhaust especially — is a significant energy driver. We help manage that exposure without compromising ventilation or code compliance.

LL97 Note: Manhattan buildings over 25,000 sq ft face escalating carbon penalties starting 2024. Restaurant kitchen exhaust and makeup air are significant energy drivers — properly maintained systems are one of the fastest paths to measurable emissions reduction.

From service call to kitchen back open

One partner handles every step. Here's how we do it.

01

Same-day site assessment

You call, we respond. A certified technician reaches your Manhattan restaurant within 4 hours, equipped to diagnose kitchen exhaust or comfort-cooling failures on arrival.

02

Root cause diagnosis

We identify the actual point of failure — electrical, mechanical, or ventilation — rather than guessing, so the fix holds.

03

Fixed-price proposal

Before a wrench turns, you receive a clear, itemized quote. What we quote is what you pay — no after-hours premiums buried in the invoice.

04

Repair & code verification

Technicians complete the repair to OEM specifications and confirm ventilation airflow meets code before leaving, so you're not left exposed at your next inspection.

Questions we hear every day

Straight answers about restaurant HVAC service in Manhattan — no marketing fluff.

Does Denair service both kitchen exhaust and dining room HVAC?
Yes — Denair covers the full restaurant HVAC picture, from grease exhaust and make-up air units to dining room RTUs, split systems, and VRF equipment. Most restaurant clients consolidate all of it under a single service relationship rather than juggling separate kitchen and comfort-cooling vendors.
How fast can Denair respond if our exhaust fan fails during service hours?
A failed exhaust fan can force a code-driven kitchen closure, so we treat these as priority emergencies. Certified technicians typically reach Manhattan restaurants within 4 hours, minimizing how long your kitchen is out of compliance.
How does restaurant HVAC relate to NYC Local Law 97 compliance?
LL97 sets carbon emissions limits for Manhattan buildings over 25,000 sq ft, and kitchen exhaust and make-up air systems are often a significant part of a restaurant building's energy use. Well-maintained, properly sized systems reduce that draw, and Denair includes an LL97 impact note with major restaurant HVAC projects for qualifying buildings.
What does restaurant HVAC service cost in Manhattan?
Cost depends on whether you need emergency repair, scheduled maintenance, or a maintenance contract covering multiple systems. Every service call receives a fixed, itemized quote before work begins, and restaurant maintenance contracts typically start from $396/year per unit.
Can Denair help us pass FDNY and DOH kitchen ventilation inspections?
Yes. We inspect kitchen exhaust and make-up air systems against the same standards fire marshals and health inspectors check, addressing grease buildup, exhaust performance, and enclosure issues proactively rather than reactively after a failed inspection.
