Restaurant & cafe HVAC in Al Wafa

Make-up air replaces the volume the hood extracts, its purpose is pressure balance not necessarily cooling. Kitchen air conditioning tackles burner heat and lowers temperature for the staff. Both may be needed, and the site survey determines which your kitchen requires.

Yes. In Jeddah's heat and humidity, fans alone are not enough during peak months. The right option depends on whether the space has an open roof or a partial enclosure and how large the area is. We assess the spot and propose suitable units after the survey.

The first step is design: we position kitchen units in airflow paths away from the grease rising off the burners. In preventive maintenance contracts we schedule pressure coil cleaning before build-up raises stress on the compressor, because early cleaning is simpler and less costly than a repair.

The decision follows a duct inspection: we look for air leaks, grease build-up inside, and sheet corrosion from Jeddah's salty air. If the structure is sound we seal joints with Foster sealants and re-insulate with Kimmco. If not, we fabricate new sections in our workshop and replace the damaged runs.

Yes, every person in the room adds heat and moisture, and this is significant in Jeddah's summer. Design therefore accounts for full occupancy load, not average attendance, and diffusers are positioned to deliver even cooling across all tables. The exact layout is confirmed after the site survey.

We design a robust pressure system for each restaurant that draws air from the kitchen forcefully before it reaches the adjacent venue, install barriers or seals in shared openings, and use directed hoods to expel fumes away from the area.

We clean coils, hood and filters on a strong regular schedule, use high-efficiency filters, and apply anti-bacterial and anti-mould treatments to coils and pans to maintain air quality and performance.

We coordinate with building management and neighbouring restaurants to install units at agreed locations away from other ventilation openings, and ensure drain lines are separate to prevent shared moisture problems.

We locate tight spots in advance and plan safe, quick access routes to coils, hood and filters, using specialist cleaners and slim tools to reach confined spaces without disrupting operations.
