Beyond the Box: The Reality of Repair
Common Issues We Fix Immediately
Zero Suction and Weak Airflow
If the fan is spinning but the smoke stays in the kitchen, your motor is struggling. This occurs when the capacitor weakens or the internal mesh is clogged with old grease. We test the motor speed and replace the capacitor to restore the strong suction you need for Indian cooking.
Loud Rattling and Vibration
We clean the blower wheel and replace the worn-out bearings to stop the shaking and restore your chimney’s smooth, quiet sound. A noisy chimney is a mechanical problem that arises when a blower fan becomes unbalanced due to heavy oil deposits or a bearing fails.
Oil Dripping and Leakage
If you see dark oil dripping from the motor housing onto your stove or food then remember that puts your hygiene at risk. This means he interal oil collectors are broken or clogged. We seal the internal leaks and service the oil tray system so the grease goes into the cup where it belongs, not into your curry.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do You Cut the Hole in the Wall for the Pipe?
Yes, this is called “Core Cutting.” If your kitchen doesn’t already have an outlet hole, we can cut through the brick or concrete wall. Please let us know beforehand so we can bring the specific core-cutting machine, as this takes a bit of extra time and care.
Do I Need to Buy the Duct Pipe Separately?
Most chimneys come with a flexible aluminum pipe in the box. However, if that pipe is too short to reach your window or wall hole, we can provide an extra-long pipe or a rigid PVC pipe for a small extra cost. We carry spares with us.
Will Drilling Crack My Kitchen Tiles?
Our technicians use diamond-tipped drill bits that grind through the tile rather than hammering it. This prevents cracks. We also use a dust collector or vacuum to make sure your kitchen counter doesn’t get covered in plaster dust.
What is the Right Height for the Chimney?
Generally, it should be between 26 to 30 inches above the stove. If it is lower, it might melt plastic handles or catch fire. If it is higher, the smoke will spread. We measure this exactly based on your specific model’s suction power.
Do You Install All Brands?
Yes, whether you have gotten a brand online or from a shop, we can install it. We are familiar with the mounting brackets and wiring diagrams of all major models sold in Bhubaneswar.
