Exhaust Hood System Repair & Service – Austin, Kyle & Buda, TX

When a kitchen exhaust fan quits, the kitchen stops. Smoke and heat build up over the line within minutes, the crew can’t cook, and a health inspector who walks in on it can shut you down for the night. Setpoint Services repairs and replaces commercial kitchen exhaust fans for restaurants and commercial kitchens throughout Austin, Kyle, Buda, and the surrounding Central Texas area. Rooftop exhaust fans, fan motors, and drive belts are what we do on hood systems. We replace failed rooftop units, swap burned-out motors, and handle the belts, bearings, and mounting hardware that keep them turning. Grease cleaning of the hood and ductwork is performed by certified hood cleaning contractors — we handle the mechanical failures.

Exhaust Fan Problems We Diagnose & Repair

• Rooftop exhaust fan not running at all
• Burned-out or overheating exhaust fan motors
• Slipping, glazed, cracked, or broken drive belts
• Worn pulleys and misaligned belt drives
• Bearing noise, squealing, and rumble from the fan housing
• Heavy vibration from a damaged or out-of-balance fan wheel
• Fan motor won’t start — capacitor, contactor, and starter faults
• Loose fan mounts, worn hinge kits, and curb hardware

Rooftop Exhaust Fan Replacement

Some fans aren’t worth repairing. A motor that has burned out twice, a housing that has corroded through, or a fan wheel that has been out of balance long enough to chew up its bearings is a replacement, not another service call. We size the replacement to the hood and the cooking line it serves, match it to the existing curb where we can, and set it so the next belt change is a fifteen-minute job instead of an hour. Call 512-992-5537 to talk through a replacement.

Emergency Exhaust Fan Repair

An exhaust fan that dies during a dinner rush is not a problem that waits until Monday. Setpoint Services runs 24/7 emergency service across the Austin area for exactly this situation. Call 512-992-5537 and we’ll get a technician headed your way. Because we also service hot side cooking equipment, a fan problem and a fryer problem are often the same visit.

Belt and Motor Maintenance

Exhaust fan belts are a wear item. They stretch, glaze, and crack under constant heat, and a belt that snaps at 7pm on a Friday costs far more than a belt replaced on a scheduled visit. Motors fail the same way — bearings get loud months before they seize, and a fan that has started to rumble is telling you something. A scheduled check on the belts, pulleys, bearings, and mounts catches all of it early. Ask about adding your rooftop fans to a preventative maintenance plan when you call.

Frequently Asked Questions – Exhaust Hood Fan Repair in Austin

Do you clean exhaust hoods?

No. Setpoint Services handles exhaust fan repair and replacement. Scheduled grease cleaning of the hood, filters, and ductwork is performed by certified hood cleaning contractors. If a cleaning turns up a failed fan motor, a broken belt, or a fan that needs replacing, that is our work — call 512-992-5537.

My exhaust fan is running but smoke is staying in the kitchen — what’s wrong?

Start with the fan itself. A slipping or stretched belt lets the fan turn well below the speed it was designed for, and a motor losing a winding will run but pull nothing. Both look fine from the ground. If the fan is turning at full speed on a good belt, the restriction is downstream in the filters or ductwork, and that is a cleaning issue rather than a mechanical one. We can tell you which it is on the first visit.

Should I repair my rooftop exhaust fan or replace it?

A single failed motor or belt on an otherwise sound fan is a repair. Repeat motor failures, a corroded housing, or a damaged fan wheel usually mean replacement is the cheaper option once you count the service calls. We’ll give you the honest version when we look at it.

Yes — an exhaust fan failure in an active kitchen can’t wait. Call us at 512-992-5537 and we’ll prioritize your service call.
