HVAC & Make-Up Air in Annapolis

Salt air and humidity from the Chesapeake accelerate corrosion on metal exhaust components — fan housings, grease cups, ductwork joints, and rooftop containment systems deteriorate faster than inland locations. We factor this environmental exposure into every Annapolis maintenance plan and include corrosion inspection as standard service.

Yes. Annapolis's City Dock and historic downtown waterfront — world-class seafood restaurants and crab houses with heavy frying operations and Chesapeake Bay salt-air exposure — is the heart of our Annapolis service. These kitchens face accelerated corrosion that requires specialty inspection and treatment we provide as standard service.

Yes. We apply food-safe protective coatings to exposed metal components, replace corroded gaskets and seals, and recommend stainless steel upgrades where corrosion is most aggressive. These treatments extend system life significantly and prevent the costly emergency replacements that salt air causes in unprotected systems.

Yes. Annapolis's Main Street and City Dock restaurants are housed in historic buildings with vintage ventilation systems and limited access. Our technicians are experienced with century-old exhaust routing and clean these systems thoroughly without damaging historic building materials or running afoul of the Historic Preservation Commission requirements.

Yes. The Naval Academy area's formal dining venues, officer club kitchens, and Academy-adjacent restaurants — with elevated service expectations and federal compliance documentation requirements — are part of our standard Annapolis service. We provide the institutional-grade documentation military and government facility managers expect.

The City of Annapolis Fire Department enforces NFPA 96, and Anne Arundel County health department inspections require current hood cleaning documentation. We provide all required certificates, stickers, and service reports that satisfy both the city and county inspectors.

Yes. We maintain a regular Annapolis route that combines City Dock, Main Street, Naval Academy area, West Street corridor, and Westfield Annapolis restaurants. This dedicated route means consistent scheduling, competitive pricing, and no distance surcharges for Annapolis operators.
