Scheduled Preventive Maintenance
Fan inspection and servicing at each NFPA 96 cleaning visit — belt tension, bearings, motor operation, hinge arms, and grease collection basins checked before failures occur.
Fan Wheel Cleaning
Grease-fouled fan wheels cause vibration, reduced CFM, and motor overload. Fan wheel cleaning restores balance and airflow — included in every NFPA 96 service visit.
Fan Replacement
Direct-drive and belt-drive replacement fans sourced from major manufacturers. Standard sizes typically installed within 1–3 business days with NFPA 96 reconnection documentation.
