Your makeup air solution should be simple, yet
effective. Your Fantech makeup air system,
along with your Fantech Inline Kitchen exhaust
solution, will be quiet, comfortable and
reliable.
Under ideal conditions, even while preparing
the largest and most demanding meals, your
kitchen remains ventilated without pulling in
air from every cracked window or crevice in
your home.
Every time an exhaust fan removes air from
your home an equal volume of air must enter,
this is called makeup air. Homes today are
built to tighter standards resisting infiltration
from outside air. With little to no leakage in
the building envelope, where does a powerful
range hood get its makeup air? If the home
does not have enough random air leaks
around the windows and doors, the makeup
air is often pulled backwards from the
chimney or water heater flue, this is called
backdrafting. Since flue gasses from some
combustion appliance can include carbon
monoxide, backdrafting is dangerous and in
some cases can be life threatening.
Balanced ventilation
makes your kitchen a dream
