When commercial exhaust systems remove air from a building (kitchen hoods, industrial ventilation), that air must be replaced. Without make-up air:
Doors become hard to open (negative pressure)
Exhaust systems work inefficiently
Drafts and comfort issues occur
Energy costs increase
Code violations may result
Make-up air units bring in fresh outdoor air, condition it (heat or cool), and deliver it to the space — maintaining balanced pressure and comfort.

Is make-up air required for my restaurant?
Yes. Ontario Building Code requires make-up air for commercial kitchen exhaust systems. We ensure your installation meets code requirements.
Can make-up air be heated?
Yes. Make-up air units can include heating (and sometimes cooling) to condition incoming air before it enters the space.
How do I know if my make-up air system is working properly?
Signs of problems include: doors hard to open/close, drafts near the kitchen, exhaust hood not capturing smoke effectively, or comfort complaints.
