Restaurant & cafe HVAC in Umm Hablain Al Gharbiyah

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.

The issue is usually that the air pulled from the dining room is not replaced with enough cool air, so pressure drops and smells seep in. We design a make-up air system parallel to the hood that raises pressure in the dining room and keeps it higher than the kitchen.

Umm Hablain Al Gharbiyah has more space than older areas, and its layout allows horizontal duct runs and outdoor units on roofs and facades. We agree on the available spaces before the visit to ensure the hood and AC do not conflict.

Kitchens produce very high heat, so standard units may fail to cool the room if heat transfer from the kitchen is not isolated. We size a robust central system for the dining room with separate arrangements for the kitchen itself if possible, or at least isolate the cold air inlet from the cooking zone.

Yes, strong hoods and central AC units need separate electrical circuits and heavy-duty connections. We check the building's total capacity and confirm each unit has its own dedicated circuit before powering on.
